Content Management

• The more that is known about the content, the easier it is to manage it

• You can’t manage what you can’t measure or track

Original OSI Reference Model

• Model for Nework Communications• Created by ISO• Began development in 1977• Seven layers• Each entity interacts directly only with the layer

immediately beneath it • Each entity provides facilities for use by the layer

above it
