The creation, presentation and exchange of information and also the collection, organization and storage of information is not a new craft. Libraries and archives existed in ancient Egypt, China, Babylon, and all advanced civilizations. Thus content has been managed since thousands of years. But this new generation’s content is different from the old years’ in the amount of information that is there to be handled, the speed at which fresh content is being produced and also the types of media and formats that are used to present and preserve information. At the turn of the nineteenth century continuous media i.e. film and audio were added to the then traditional discrete media formats. In the twentieth century new digital multimedia formats such as digital audio and video and also Web pages and hyper documents emerged. All these different media formats have to be managed within organizations that produce, handle, store and deliver content in its various forms.

Nowadays content production and management can be a very tedious task. Content is collected from various pieces representing different media and information types. Raw footage, rushes, existing archive material, and extra recordings are used to create audiovisual media objects.  This together with the much decreased delivery time of information requires that all parts are accessible and available to all involved parties throughout the production process.

In short what I intend to say is that if you own a website with a lot of content then you must have a good content management system (or CMS) to run the site on. One brilliant example of this CMS is Drupal.
