Decoupled Content Management on tour

It seems the idea of Decoupling Content Management is gaining momentum. On the user interface side, many projects have already adopted the VIE interaction framework and widgets from Create, and in the content repository space projects like PHPCR move forward and there are also interesting new ideas like Apache Oak.

While much of this has been made possible by the IKS project, it is also great to see the wider CMS community getting more active in the space. Part of this momentum is also apparent in how many communities want to learn more about these ideas. Continue Reading →

Sling-Stanbol to allow Faceted browsing over your directories

Faceted browsing (also faceted navigation or faceted search) allows users to explore information by applying multiple filters. The difference to hierarchical search as this happens with directories and subdirectories in a file system is that you can’t just broaden or narrow your selection in one direction but that you can search in multiple dimensions simultaneously.
