Not A CMS
Please note that this poster won the prize (a bottle of whisky donated by MIMAS)
for the best poster.
- Title
- Not A CMS
- Author
- Sebastian Rahtz and Ian Senior, University of Oxford
- Abstract
- Who wants a CMS? The job of a content management system is to
bundle together authoring, publishing, version control, quality control, authentication,
authorisation, dynamic content creation, and the kitchen sink, into a single application.
We don't want to make up our minds about how to solve all these problems
in one go. We present a framework in which a set of open source and
open standards components interact together to provide an environment for delivering
Web pages of all types. We work with:
- XML storage format
- Syntactic checking using Relax NG schemas
- Accessibility checking using Schematron analysis
- Authorisation using Kerberos
- Output generation using AxKit or Cocoon
- Version control using Subversion
- Authoring using Emacs, XMetaL, Word, Open Office
- Content delivery in Web server or portal
Each component in this list can be taken out and replaced.
We can delay the awful decision about which CMS to use. We don't use a CMS.

The EIAO Project
- Title
- The European Internet Accessibility Observatory Project
- Author
- Jenny Craven, CERLIM,
MMU
- Abstract
- The goal of the three-year
EIAO
project (co-funded by the European Commission) is to contribute to better
e-accessibility for all citizens and to increase the use of standards for online
resources. This poster will describe the mains aims of the project and show how
feedback from end users and stakeholders has been used to inform the initial
development of the observatory. It will demonstrate the importance of involving
users at each stage of the project to provide the project team with a much clearer
picture of end-user requirements and their perceptions of accessibility.
- Additional Comments
- This poster will report on the first phase of gathering user requirements for
the development of the 'observatory'. This is an ongoing process which will be
repeated at different iterations of the project. The author would welcome the
opportunity to discuss with delegates the usefulness not only of the chosen methods,
but of the proposed observatory itself.

Poster Displays for IWMW 2006?
The aim of the poster displays is to allow workshop participants who may not
be involved in speakeing or facilating sessions to be able to give a brief summary
of work they are involved in which may be of interest to other delegates,
and to allow those who are speaking or facilitating sessions to either expand on
their work or dscribe other work.
The poster displays also try to provide a focal point during coffee breaks,
lunch, etc.
Is this a useful exercise? Should we seek to provide a greater coverage
next year, or should we abandon this exercise? Please let us know - either
by giving your views on the evaluationform or talking to workshop
committee members during the event.
