About Site Definitions

SharePoint comes with several site definitions that determine the content and layout of an individual SharePoint site.

The Siebel site definition is a custom SharePoint site definition. The Siebel site definition was created by copying an existing SharePoint site definition and then customizing it to display Siebel data.
