Arkestra is an extension for Django CMS that provides an intelligent semantic web publishing system for organisations and institutions.

Arkestra is free open source semantic CMS based on Django. Essentially  it is a set of applications that greatly extends Django’s capabilities.  Alternatively, Arkestra is a powerful system that extensively utilizes Django web framework to  create a semantic model of the institution and its activities:  its organisation, internal structures and relations with other institutions, people, news, events, place, vacancies, studentships and more.

Arkestra is an intelligent system

Arkestra has been designed to automate the web editor's job.

It is an intelligent system - it structures information and makes use of connections between data to simplify  the process  of web publishing. It uses these connections, explicit and implicit, to automate as much as can be automated, so that the web editor workload is cut in half.

Arkestra is a semantic system

It's also a semantic CMS - it doesn't simply store data, but manages information according to a model of the real world. This means that every item of information in the system (including for example information published in Django CMS pages) has meaning because it is associated with real-world objects, and placed in their context.

Arkestra Benefits

  • Not thinking about databases and models is an excellent way to solve the problem of combining rich, useful real-world modelling with flexible, portable information structures
