(Apoorv) I'd talked about content migration in the ECM Offshoring piece recently. The content people often use Microsoft word to create unstructured content and then publish this content to their existing system. This changes after we finish implementing a new CMS for them as the content that is entered during this period needs to be moved to the new CMS powered site. One way obviously is to manually migrate it. Here's another way though - By using improved support of XML in Microsoft Word to create structured content, content migration can be made slightly less painful. Word allows one to define an XML schema that can be applied to a document. So we created a Schema that has the fields that the CMS will use (Title, Byline, Author etc). Authors create word documents as they always did and apply these tags. |
