Drupal

Druplicon - the Drupal logo

Drupal combines the functions of a content management framework, social publishing and content management system. A major distinguishing feature of Drupal is that allows many pieces of information (called nodes) to be stored in a database and combined to produce web pages dynamically when they are called up.

It comes with on board tools for Search Engine Optimization such as Volacci's SEO Checklist, hundreds of different themes and thousands of community contributed modules.

Anolim provides development, support and IT infrastructure (e.g. hosting) services for Drupal.

Web Technology Trends

Today I gave a talk to a group of my peers at the Internet Briefing group where I examined some of the trends in the areas of:

A lively discussion followed. Judging by the number of questions, there was a lot of interest among participants about the potential of the semantic Web. I highlighted two of the standards, RDFa and SPARQL that are available today e.g. in Web Content Frameworks like Drupal. Semantically marking up content can also lead to better search experiences using for example Yahoo's SearchMonkey.

An important component of Tim Berners-Lee's vision of the semantic web is to enable more automated processing of information. This would allow us to start thinking about the web as a giant database which is what makes SPARQL an interesting standard. See Tim Berners-Lee's talk about his vision for linked data in this TED video

Interactive Web

The interactive web (Web 2.0) has opened up many new opportunities to communicate with and reach people. Add social media to the mix and you have a potent mix of tools to help you reach  clients, business partners and employees in new ways and to collaborate with them.

At Anolim we use the Drupal social publishing system to enable interactive web solutions. The following video demonstrates how interactive web meda can enhance the communications experience:

The use of a web content management framework is often a very effective way to efficiently implement new methods of communication and collaboration. Anolim has in depth expertise in various web technologies and makes extensive use of the Drupal content management framework. Drupal is used by leading firms like SonyBMG, Ahold, Fast Company, MTV UK, Jennifer Lopez, The New York Observer, Radio DRS3 and the US Government (http://recovery.org).

Technology

Web Content Management Frameworks have become an indispensable tool for building complex and dynamic web solutions. They provide one simple but huge benefit for the content publisher: they can publish, manage and edit content themselves without the help of a programmer.
