Abstract:

This paper presents a case study in the evolution of a content management system from a static web-publishing model to a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). We will describe the development of Center in a Box (CIB), an application created at U.C. Berkeley’s Center for Document Engineering to support the semi-automatic creation of customized websites for university research centers. In particular, we discuss our use of the document engineering methodology and our decision to use smallx pipelines instead of Cocoon . and the migration to a modified Atom format for storing our content.
