How does it work

Any digital material can be stored in Open Content using the Open Content REST-API. Open Content configuration makes it possible to group content into Content Type (typically : Article, Image, Page, Concept, Planning, Lists, Packages). Content from different systems can normalised into the same Content Type.

A Content object (item) consists of a primary file and a metadata file describing the the primary file.

Normally xml-metadata files are used to describe the content uploaded and properties are extracted from the meta data files using XPATH 2.0 expressions.

Open Content is configured with a browser based UI or by YAML-files.

Typical use cases for Open Content are:

• Long-time archive with the XLibris search client

• Back-end for web and mobile publishing using Naviga web

• Content repo for the Content Creation Suite
