Amaxus - XML Content Management System - Overview

Metadata Vocabularies and Site Navigation

Content in Context

Website navigation and metadata taxonomies can be defined and managed via the CMS.

As the system has been built around the use of standards and XML, it provides the integration of advanced features, such as:

  • Cross-site searching

    Organisations with multiple websites can provide users with the ability to search across these sites, even if they reside on different servers or use disparate systems.


  • Information sharing through RDF files

    RDF - Resource Description Framework - is a syntax for representing metadata about resources.

    RDF is most commonly represented in XML, therefore benefitting from platform-independence and other XML advantages.  RDF is an exciting technology that will eventually allow online agents (e.g. automatic spidering applications) to gain and infer knowledge, such as date, subject and relationships, about online resources and services. 

    RDF forms the cornerstone of the World Wide Web Consortium's Semantic Web activity - projects aimed at the embedding, gathering and automed understanding of Internet metadata.
