–Oracle WebCenter Content

Oracle WebCenter Content can help a corporation unify, manage, and leverage all types of content across the entire enterprise.

Oracle WebCenter Content, an Oracle Fusion Middleware component, is an integrated suite of applications designed for managing content.

Oracle WebCenter Content contains the Oracle WebCenter Content Server, which is used to manage the content repository.

–Content repository

The content repository is used to store content and deliver it to users as needed in the correct format.

By using specific repository tools, the Oracle WebCenter Content administrator can manage the unstructured content and make certain the correct content is delivered to the correct user according to security permissions and rights.

Oracle WebCenter Content Server is a web-based interface to the content repository and is used to manage the content life cycle from creation to disposition.

Folders and folios can be used to manage groups of content, and content also can be categorized as it is checked in to the repository.

–Content Conversion / Inbound Refinery 

Oracle WebCenter Content: Inbound Refinery is a conversion server that manages file conversions for electronic assets such as documents, digital images, and motion video.

In addition to conversion, Inbound Refinery provides thumbnail functionality for documents and images, storyboarding for video, and the ability to extract and use EXIF data from digital images and XMP data from electronic files generated from programs such as Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator.

–Retention Management 

Oracle WebCenter Content offers optional records management features integrated with the main application, and an Oracle WebCenter Content: Records application which provides additional functionality to allow organizations to track and preserve content. When the content has fulfilled its purpose in the organization, it can be disposed of or archived.

Organizations may need to retain content because of regulatory requirements or have a litigation-related need for effective and efficient retention management.

The Records application can manage internal content stored within Content Server and external content, such as files stored in a warehouse or on an external repository.

The software has been certified by the Joint Interoperability Test Command (JITC) to comply with that standard.

— Imaging Management 

The Oracle WebCenter Content: Imaging application uses additional technologies such as Oracle WebCenter Enterprise Capture to capture and categorize transactional content to include physical and electronic documents.

The content repository is used to store the images, which allows retention management features to manage the life cycle and disposition of imaging content.

In addition, tools such as Oracle BPM or BPEL can insert imaging content directly into business processes.
