Abstract:
Information and documentation services available on the Internet through web servers are growing
in an exponential manner. In recent times, open source software has been seen as an increasingly
mainstream part of the market. The field of content management system has seen particularly strong
growth in open source solutions, perhaps in direct response to the very high prices that commercial
content management system have historically demanded. The increasing complexity of services and
systems supporting has made it necessary to formulate a theoretical and practical corpus capable of
combining classical information management techniques within organizations with the particular
features of the digital environment. In this article the authors highlighted some of the most popular
open source, free to download and use content management system tools. One can choose any of
them for their website depending on their particular needs or organizational requirements. This
article also highlights the different types, license, free or open source, database type, platforms, etc.
