Abstract
Content Management Systems, recognized by the acronym CMS, have evolved lots with development of the internet in the 2000s. Several new versions and systems are created annually. Interoperability between these systems has become a necessity for enterprise using a variety of CMS. It concerns data in general. The solution most used is Web Services. The disadvantage is that we have to develop two components a client and a server. Furthermore, those elements are not compatible with another system, and in case version of system or all system change we must re-develop all components. In this paper, we present an innovative solution to the problem of data interoperability between CMS. It is an alternative to Web Services with more performance, and a lower cost of maintenance, and compatibility with variety of systems. Our solution is called DB2EAV. DB2EAV is an API of mapping database to Entity-Attribute-Value model. The idea is inspired by the fact that most of the CMS uses the Entity-Attribute-Value model as a conception of their databases. The API DB2EAV provides also the ability to recover data directly from the database of CMS. DB2EAV API is compatible with any type or version of CMS that it implements the Entity-Attribute-Value model.
