<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=103372122-25082004>Based on the
available information, I am having some trouble understanding exactly how
OpenCMS stores content. To my best understanding, everything
(structured) is stored in a database and static pages are generated based
on templated and published to a web site. I have a
few questions:</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
class=103372122-25082004></SPAN></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=103372122-25082004>Is my basic
understanding above correct?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
class=103372122-25082004></SPAN></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=103372122-25082004>Is this more of a
page-creation system rather than a system that is intended to manage "pure"
content? Is there a way to manage structured content in OpenCMS with no
intention of assembling it into HTML pages? Could I deploy
OPenCMS structured content to one or more other databases, for
example if the target site is dynamic and running on another
application server?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=103372122-25082004>Can metadata be
managed along with unstructured/file content? Where does that data "live"
and how is it deployed?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
