Key Figures for Content Management

Re­dun­dan­cy is the most el­e­men­tary key fig­ure of the stat­ic key fig­ures. Re­dun­dan­cy de­scribes the share of con­tent of a doc­u­ment that is al­ready used in other doc­u­ments or publi­ca­tions. The de­gree of re­dun­dan­cy can re­fer to the amount of mo­d­u­lar units or– as mo­d­ule sizes can dif­fer vast­ly –to con­tent-based units (seg­ments).

Another in­ter­est­ing stat­ic key fig­ure is abun­dan­cy (uti­l­iza­tion num­ber). This key fig­ure mea­sures the fre­quen­cy of ob­ject reuse (mo­d­ules, me­dia). Ad­di­tio­n­al­ly, if CM ap­pli­ca­tions are ex­amined ex­ten­sive­ly, a mul­ti­tude of key fig­ures (doc­u­ment sizes, mo­d­ule sizes, re­dun­dan­cy, abun­dan­cy) can be de­ter­mined and an­a­lyzed in terms of how they are dis­tribut­ed and cor­re­lat­ed.

Fur­ther dy­nam­ic key fig­ures ad­di­tio­n­al­ly take the con­tent life cy­cle of in­for­ma­tion en­try and doc­u­ment cre­a­tion in­to ac­count. They are estab­lished by cre­at­ing and vi­su­al­iz­ing the his­to­ry and ver­sions of CMS ob­jects and can be cor­re­lat­ed to the stat­ic key fig­ures.
