 Product description: Daisy is a content management development framework that ships with a sophisticated in-browser editing application, a scalable repository back-end, which is accessible through open standards, and a flexible, role-based authorization control system. It features robust and flexible XHTML and media asset management, full-text indexing and searching, document versioning and differencing, user-defined metadata management and integration of external systems through event queuing (JMS). Its SQL-like query language offers in-page embeddable queries and can be used to define virtual views on the document repository. Daisy has no outside dependencies except for a relational database and access to a filesystem, making it an affordable, yet surprisingly powerful content management system. Daisy consists of a standalone repository service, and a powerful Wiki-on-steroids front-end application based on Apache Cocoon.

  
 Vendor description: Outerthought is an Open Source Java & XML Competence Support Center which helps developers to untap the power and best practices of Java & XML. Besides our open source products (Daisy: CMS, xReporter: web database reporting), we offer guidance and mentoring of budding Java developers to make use of open source development methodologies.
