Site Content Files

The site content (that is, the actual information on the site) is stored in separately managed files, separate from the presentation context in which they appear. This enables them to be managed separately and reused within a Web site, or even between Web sites (providing these sites are all managed using the same content server).

Site Studio uses the following files for site content:

• Contributor data files: Content files in XML format that are generated by Site Studio. Contributor data files are edited using the Site Studio Contributor application. See Contributor Data Files and Native Documents for more information.

• Native documents: Content files created using familiar third-party applications such as Microsoft Word. Native documents are converted to HTML format using Dynamic Converter, and they are edited using their associated application. See Contributor Data Files and Native Documents for more information.

• Images: Graphic files (JPG, GIF, PNG) that are included in content files or page templates (for example, corporate banners or product images).

• Other media: Any other media files that could be used on a Web site, such as Flash animations, video files, audio files, and so on.
