5Basic systems and functionalities
The editorial system
- The setting up of standardized "editors
workbenches" meets the special requirements of
the Austrian Trade Union Federation and its
member unions - authors can search in the common information data
base (Content Base). Internal Information as well
as external information (e.g. Austria Presse
Agentur news items are at their disposal) - each author can produce articles with the
possibility of adding pictures, links,
multimedia-files,.. - as in a daily newspaper the author has no
influence on formatting the layout of the
article depends on the layout defaults of the
website, where the article will be published.

patterns so called "Content Categories" - articlee.g. News, articles, . . .
