| A content management system
or CMS is a system used to manage the content of a Web site.
Typically, a CMS consists of two elements: the content management
application (CMA) and the content delivery application (CDA).
The CMA element allows the content manager or author, who
may not know Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), to manage the
creation, modification, and removal of content from a Web
site without needing the expertise of a Webmaster. The CDA
element uses and compiles that information to update the Web
site. The features of a CMS system vary, but most include
Web-based publishing, format management, revision control,
and indexing, search, and retrieval.
