Web Content Management: A Collaborative Approach

by Russell Nakano

Today's Web sites require powerful content management solutions that address workflow, usability, deployment, flexibility, scalability, and many other make-or-break issues. This is the first book to cover every aspect of content management for the large-scale or growing site. It offers Web professionals a complete blueprint for developing, deploying, managing, maintaining, and evolving enterprise-class sites with the greatest business value -- at the lowest cost. Nakano first introduces the motivation for content management -- and the problems that rapidly arise when content management solutions are not in place. He introduces key content management concepts and techniques, then presents a complete process and methodology for introducing content management that works. Nakano addresses hot topics such as globalization and workflow, and answers key questions such "How can I keep my site flexible and dynamic? How can I encourage more employees to contribute content? The book presents real-world "Day-in-the-Life" case studies from a broad cross-section of companies, large and small, from many industries. For all Web site project managers, architects, administrators, managers, and content specialists working on large sites, or sites expected to grow rapidly.

This is now an older text but it describes an interesting approach to web content management. It's been a while since I read it but I know Russell was involved in Interwoven.com, which was an early commercial WCM from the .COM boom in the late 1990s and early 2000s. So, it's probably worth reviewing, though I wonder if WCM hasn't changed since that time.

Note - this is a different style of WCM than Drupal. Content production and distribution are more separate (again, as I recall.)
