Content management system
Software for storing, organizing, and publishing digital content (text, images, audio, video) through a structured interface, so people can add and manage material without coding each page by hand. Familiar general-purpose examples include WordPress and Drupal.
For language work, a CMS is usually how a dictionary, an archive, or a collection of recordings gets put online and kept up over time. The choice of CMS is not just a technical detail, because it decides who can see what. Most mainstream systems assume a simple public-or-private split, which is a poor fit for materials that a community wants to share only with particular people, or under particular conditions. Mukurtu CMS is an example built specifically to handle that: it adds culturally-grounded access protocols on top of the basic job of a CMS, in service of Data sovereignty.
A CMS also carries an ongoing cost that is easy to overlook: someone has to host it, update it, and keep it running. A collection is only as durable as the upkeep behind it, which is why sustainability and succession planning come up so often around these tools.
