Data Reuse

Content Management Systems (CMSs) are an important tool in managing the content that is available on the web and providing it in a reusable and archival form. The range of CMSs being used in gives some insight into government capability for managing web information in a coordinated way.

The most commonly reported CMS in this survey was the proprietary Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) (21 percent of responding organisations), followed by the open source Drupal (11 percent of responding organisations). A wide range of CMSs was reported overall, which is potentially challenging to the consistent publishing of information in a reusable form across in the government domain.
