Nstein Technologies, Inc., a Canada-based provider of online publishing solutions for newspapers, magazines and online content providers, has announced the release of version 4.0 of its solution WCM (Web Content Management). The new release, based on publisher feedback, is designed to increase editorial productivity by providing intuitive tools for the creation and management of complex sites and microsites.
WCM 4.0 offers a new, role-based interface for editorial teams featuring multi-site/multi-channel content management; out-of-the-box conversion and importation of content from popular XML formats; role-based configurable editorial dashboards that mirror physical workflows; automatic search/association of assets; on-the-fly content association; real-time semantically generated tags & metadata; advanced XML site search, topic clustering, most-rated, most viewed stories; and a search engine optimisation toolkit offering information on keyword density, friendly URLs, and optimised HTML structure.
The Nstein WCM platform, with an architecture based on open source and LAMP technologies, is projected as an editorial content management system designed for publishers to quickly and easily create complex websites. The platform's open architecture is based on declarative XML files, plug-ins and templates, allowing rapid creation of websites and other web-related deliverables such as newsletters, mobile sites and microsites. It tightly integrates Nstein's TME (Text Mining Engine) to automatically generate semantic tags allowing editors to quickly associate content to the appropriate consumer. Presented with this semantically associated content, readers are expected to remain on the site longer, consuming more pages and thereby increasing revenue.
WCM's user interface allows content experts to manage content from creation to distribution. It has built-in tagging and metadata management allowing easy association and bundling of content. WCM's open design is projected to easily allow integration with virtually any new type of content modules (Facebook, Twitter, forums, blogs, wikis) and other content management systems (editorial systems, ECM, repositories). WCM 4.0 integrates seamlessly with both TME and Nstein's DAM (Digital Asset Management System) to allow on-the-fly semantic tagging and semantic association of stories. Additionally, the open architecture allows integration with third party tools, other content management systems and repositories.
