MICHAEL platform documentation

The MICHAEL platform provides functionalities for creating and maintaining a Web site about digital cultural heritage. The MICHAEL platform and its documentation can be used by various groups of people:

1. Final users will be using the publishing tools to search and discover contents.
2. The editors are responsible for creating and maintaining contents in a Web site manager with the MICHAEL platform.
3. Implementers will be responsible for installing, configuring and adapting the platform for a specific usage or site.
4. Developers will contribute to the evolution of the platform itself.

This documentation is thus divided into four distinct guides : User's guide, Editor's Guide, Implementer's Guide and Developer's Guide. Some are of course more technical than others.
