Content & Data
Periodic is build on a data model that's designed to easily group content items and add data attributes to support information architectures that vary from traditional web publishing, podcasting, blogging, e-commerce, social networking, and mobile application.
Periodic's content is organized into three different categories: Content Entities, Content Taxonomy, and Content Types.
-
Entities
-
Items
- Items are the base content entity, when used in conjunction with content types you can define new types of items with additional custom fields.
- Complicated taxonomies and information hierarchies can be created by classifying items with content types, tags and categories.
- The Drupal equivalent would be a node, the wordpress equivalent would be a post.
-
Collections
- Collections are a generic grouping of items, they can be used to provide gallery, listicle, and slide show functionilty
- Like Items, you can create complicated information heirarchies by using custom attributes with content types, tags and categories.
- In equivalent content management systems, collections are like galleries.
-
(Media) Assets
- Assets are uploaded files, you can create complicated information models and add additional fields with content types
