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:
“In Paris, everybody wants to be an actor; nobody is content to be a spectator.”
—Jean Cocteau (1889–1963)
“No officer should be required or permitted to take part in the management of political organizations, caucuses, conventions, or election campaigns. Their right to vote and to express their views on public questions, either orally or through the press, is not denied, provided it does not interfere with the discharge of their official duties. No assessment for political purposes on officers or subordinates should be allowed.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“An avant-garde man is like an enemy inside a city he is bent on destroying, against which he rebels; for like any system of government, an established form of expression is also a form of oppression. The avant-garde man is the opponent of an existing system.”
—Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)
