Geração de sistemas de gestão de conteúdos com softwares livres

Abstract

This dissertation handles the content management systems generation using open source softwares. It asks if it is possible, based on the main existing theoretical contributions and in the available frameworks, to implement a process that allows reflecting a knowledge domain, represented by models, in a content management system. It is intended to analyze the main existing theoretical contributions concerning the modeling and generation of information systems, to establish the steps necessary for implementation of this approach and to raise framework of content management system development. It was made an experimentalresearch using a software development process as scope, composed of three entities: (a) the knowledge domain, (b) a content management system and (p) the adopted process. As result, a content management system was generated and a process made up of five activities: (1)platform independent modeling, (2) platform specific modeling, (3) source codes generation, (4) source codes maintenance and (5) installation. This process uses 50% of the time planed for of the system development, but it presents some restrictions. I concludes that (1) the UML is a good candidate to a knowledge representation language, (2) modeling using levels of abstraction is a crucial necessity for the evolution of the area of information systems, (3) the used framework presents advantages in prototyping or application in reduced knowledgedomains and (4) is possible to consider a framework that facilitates the information systems building and its maintenance.
