Database schema for getting started with a Content Management System

Hi I'm starting development of a small co开发者_StackOverflow中文版ntent management system but struggling to figure out how to get started. Does any one know where I can get a database schema or how such a system is developed.

There are loads of CMS systems but none allow you to embed them in an application and that is why I need to develop this.

any ideas will be very much welcomed

A java based system will be preffered.

Thanks

You could use Jackrabbit as the content store. You would still need to write the UI yourself. There are CMSs which provide a UI based on Jackrabbit (or another implementation of the JCR API), but i don't know if any are embeddable.

I know this isn't Java but if it's only the DB schema you want you could begin by Installing Webmatrix and selecting one of the templates. Then you can take a look at the schema they have and go from there.
