Intelligent XML Content Management

SDL Contenta is a Common Source Data Base (CSDB) that supports content authored to custom XML standards and proprietary DTDs. SDL Contenta provides the automation and efficiency needed to deliver content reliably, repeatedly and effectively to your customers, partners and suppliers. It is used by authors, editors and program and publication managers for the creation, management and delivery of technical information.

With built-in XML tools, SDL Contenta provides automated data module creation, "drag and drop" uploading, powerful multi-channel publishing capabilities and simple, web-based interfaces.

SDL Contenta contains an automated workflow that can clearly distinguish between work-in-process and approved or published content, and provide status throughout the editorial and publishing process. It controls access to data modules based on user roles and project status, and it provides locking mechanisms to prevent inadvertent parallel editing.
