Content repository
open-in-new
<p>A content repository or content store is a database of digital content with an associated set of data management, search and access methods allowing application-independent access to the content, rather like a <a href="/facts/Digital_library/aBCP81In">digital library</a>, but with the ability to store and modify content in addition to searching and retrieving. The content repository acts as the storage engine for a larger application such as a <a href="/facts/Content_management_system/CCk4vIxV">content management system</a> or a <a href="/facts/Document_management_system/cgmjwyKV">document management system</a>, which adds a <a href="/facts/User_interface/e9sPEWVD">user interface</a> on top of the repository's <a href="/facts/Application_programming_interface/GMlN4vUr">application programming interface</a>. </p>
