Chapter 3. Working with Content Models

From setting up the initial content model to programmatically creating, searching for, and deleting content, how you work with the content in a content management system is a foundational concept upon which the rest of the solution is built. In this chapter, you'll learn:

  • What a repository is and how it is structured

  • How to make the underlying content model relevant to your business problem by extending Alfresco's out of the box model with your own content types

  • What practices are the best for creating your own content models

  • How to configure the web client to expose your custom content model via the user interface

  • How to interact with the repository via the Web Services and JavaScript APIs
