Separation of the design elements, the content, the format and metadata.

Ability to export data in non-proprietary formats.
Ability to import existing data from other systems.
Mechanisms to assist data-backup procedures.
Allow collection of related pages and online resources to be built automatically, using metadata standards such as Dublin Core to express relationships between resources.
Based on open technology - to ensure interoperability e.g. data harvesting.
Metadata can be exported in a format usable by others.
Exporting of data into any specified format (XML, WML etc).
Automatic creation of an RDF for each resource.
Supports the creation of thesauri for controlled vocabularies.
Able to publish in a variety of formats without re-editing of source materials across the web, printed publications and other media formats.
Personalisation of site - e.g. personal favourites, online discussion, registration for push information.
Amaxus is highly scalable to cater for increases in data structure and data content but also in terms of public users.
Amaxus can run in a load balanced environment. Multiple installations of the system on several servers can work cooperatively when coupled with a hardware or software load balancer. In addition, the repository can also be load balanced across multiple servers provided the DMBS chosen to host it supports replication or has built-in load balancing functionality.
