<h1>Concepts</h1>
<h2>Publications</h2>
<p>In Apache Lenya, a website is called a
<strong>publication</strong>.</p>
<h2>Areas: Authoring, Live, ...</h2>
<p>Apache Lenya separates between different areas:</p>
<ul>
<li>The authoring area is for creating and editing of
content. All CMS functions are available here.</li>
<li>Once the content has been published it is moved to the live
area. The live area can be served by a web server directly or
you can add another intermediate step where the content is
replicated from the live area to the actual web server. In any
case the live area simply serves as a preview to the content
that will be served by the web server.</li>
<li>
Other standard areas are and archive. If necessary, further
areas can be declared.
</li>
</ul>
<h2>Resource Types</h2>
<p>As Apache Lenya is based on Apache Cocoon, it has strong XML and
XSLT foundations. It is possible to ensure that a document
conforms to an XML schema. Typically you define different types of
documents, like an news article or an opinion piece, conforming to
different XML schemas. These different types are referred to as
document types. They are used to ensure the XML schema conformance
when editing and typically also when preparing a presentation of
the document, where an opinion piece has a different layout than a
news article.</p>
