As the definition of content management is not restricted to any outlet, the term Web Content Management (WCM) is the content management process to “Web based audience” (McKeever, 2003). Hence, WCM involves the management of content at websites in the Internet. WCMs provide technical laypersons the possibility to create, manage and publish more complex websites. The users do not need any (or just little) technical knowledge to create and edit websites. Beyond that the generated web sites are conform to the - once defined - cooperate identity (the presentation templates). Other types are Semantic Content Management Systems (SCMS), Enterprise Content Management (ECM), Document Management Systems (DMS), Digital Rights Management Systems (DRMS), Asset Management Systems (AMS).
