Daisy is a content management system that offers rich out-of-the-box functionality combined with solid foundations for extensibility and integration. Daisy consists of two main components:
* a stand-alone repository server accessible through HTTP/XML (using the ReST style of WebServices) and/or a high-level (remote) Java API, and
* an extensive editing and publishing front-end web application running inside Apache Cocoon.
Due to its genericity and flexibility, Daisy can be used for many different purposes, but is ideally suited for information-rich, structured content and asset management applications. Even for advanced content management applications, Daisy can be used and configured without any Java-coding skills: Daisy offers a Javascript/Cocoon-based extension framework.
It is a content management system inspired by Ward Cunningham's Wiki idea. Whereas most wiki implementations (and there are hundreds) use a textarea in a web page for editing, with a command language for formatting, Cozmos uses a full installed 'Thick' application for editing and pushes back the pages using an extended web technology called WebDAV. Like Wikis, Cozmos separates content from presentation/style. Unlike Wikis the actual language of the content is HTML which is the language of the web itself.
