In addition, when developing an extension or plug-in that offers a specific service for a CMS, the developed software becomes highly coupled with the platform used. To address this problem we propose an architecture that integrates CMSs with Web applications so that they can evolve independently. From the proposed architecture it is possible to develop services for CMSs to come in the future. } }
