Content Management System
The content is stored in so-called Daisy documents. These documents are managed by the Daisy Repository Server. Documents consist of parts. Parts can be anything from required blocks of text to specified fields with restricted content. By creating specific document types, different types of information can be handled differently. Simple documents just hold text and hyperlinks. By including a query in a document it is easy to create documents that aggregate other documents.
Each document can have multiple variants. A variant can be a version or a translated document (language variant). Variants can be used to mark specific versions, e.g. all documents referring to version XYZ of the software described.
Editing of Daisy documents is supported with a WYSIWYG Wiki-like editing environment.
Site navigation trees can be made more dynamic using queries generating navigation hierarchies.
Daisy is hierarchy-free and has a clear separation between repository server and front-end application. This allows for easy extension of the functionality.
Other features are:
- revision control
- centralized ACL system
- Jakarta Lucene based full-text indexing
- book publishing which allows for the generation of nicely formatted books with table of contents, section numbering, cross-referencing, footnotes and index
- faceted browsing
- The Daisy 2.0 version added JBoss jBPM-based workflow

Famous quotes containing the words content, management and/or system:
“I would like you to understand completely, also emotionally, that I’m a political detainee and will be a political prisoner, that I have nothing now or in the future to be ashamed of in this situation. That, at bottom, I myself have in a certain sense asked for this detention and this sentence, because I’ve always refused to change my opinion, for which I would be willing to give my life and not just remain in prison. That therefore I can only be tranquil and content with myself.”
—Antonio Gramsci (1891–1937)
“Why not draft executive and management brains to prepare and produce the equipment the $21-a-month draftee must use and forget this dollar-a-year tommyrot? Would we send an army into the field under a dollar-a-year General who had to be home Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays?”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“Whoever places his trust into a system will soon be without a home. While you are building your third story, the two lower ones have already been dismantled.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
