The Dream of a CMS

Abstract

An XML-first content management system — XML technologies handling XML content in an XML database — has been the author's dream for the last decade and a half, ever since he first found a way to break free from the shackles of non-XML technologies limiting what he could do. A portal for an automotive client provided both an interesting, and XML-centric, case study using quite a few “X” technologies, but just as importantly a way forward to finally implementing that system.
