Table 1. Content Center Job Roles

Alternatively, this may be done by an application developer.
Content Contributor	A person in your business who is authorized to contribute content items. Examples are technical writers, Web designers, and graphic artists.

Table 2. Content Center Terms
Term	Description
Content	The components of the application that are authored, as opposed to application code. Siebel applications recognize the following classes of content: Business rules, such as personalization rules and assignment rules. Application content, such as product catalog, price lists, and product promotions. Web content, such as Web templates and static Web pages, typically stored as HTML, XML, and image files. Documentation, such as product data sheets, forms, and white papers. Content Center provides content production services for three of the classes listed above: application content, Web content, and documentation; content asset management only applies to Web content and documentation.
Content Asset	An instance of content managed within Content Center and stored in the content asset repository. Content assets are typically comprised of unstructured markups and can be related to other content assets. For example, an HTML content asset can link to other pages or reference images. For more information, see Content Asset Management.
Content Item	Represents a transaction (add, update, delete) stored and associated with a piece of content.
Content Object	Specifies the information that will be transferred from the staging environment to the production environment when the content is published. Each content object is composed of a business object and an integration object.
Content Type	A set of business rules you define for handling content, including rules that apply to the approval workflow, contributors, approvers, and the application views your company uses to edit or preview content. Each content type is based on a content object, and is associated with an approval workflow and a group of contributors and approvers. The following are examples of content types authored in Siebel applications that can be managed through Content Center: Siebel Sales Catalog: catalog, categories, product, product line, and product literature. Siebel Pricer: price list, pricing factor, rate list, and volume discount . Siebel Marketing: offers (Web, phone, email, direct mail, newsletter), campaign, and marketing development fund. Siebel Service: service solution, decision issue, resolution document, and SmartScript.
Content Asset Type	The file type (or filename extension) of a content asset.
