A web content management system is a content management system with additional features to ease the tasks required to publish web content to web sites. Web content management systems are often used for storing, controlling, versioning, and publishing industry-specific documentation such as news articles, operators' manuals, technical manuals, sales guides, and marketing brochures. A content management system may support the following features: Import and creation of documents and multimedia material Identification of all key users and their content management roles The ability to assign roles and responsibilities to different content categories or types. Definition of the content workflow tasks, often coupled with event messaging so that content managers are alerted to changes in content. The ability to track and manage multiple versions of a single instance of content. The ability to publish the content to a repository to support access to the content. Increasingly, the repository is an inherent part of the system, and incorporates enterprise search and retrieval. Some content management systems allow the textual aspect of content to be separated to some extent from formatting. For example the CMS may automatically set default colour, fonts, or layout.

This project task represents the 'think tank'of the European KM Forum as it defines on one hand the project's direction form the very beginning and on the other hand develops strategic visions for KM in Europe. Baseline for all this is the European Council's objective for Europe to become the most competitive and dynamic knowledge - based economy in the world by 2002.The document presents five scenarios for future work in the knowledge economy that have been developed on the basis of a formal scenario planning technique. The scenarios are used as a means for identifying directions for future research in KM in Europe. This work is still in progress and thus no conclusions of direct recommendations for future research are given here yet. However, the knowledge economy scenarios provide stimulating means for baseline of discussion and moreover describe diverse potential future European KM environments.The first document contains an extract from deliverable D1.2 of the IST project European KM Forum - European Knowledge Management Forum. The second is the full version.
