1. A method in a content management system for representing in a relational format content units arranged in a hierarchical order, comprising:
- providing a first table comprising a column indicative of nodes corresponding to the structure of the hierarchical order;
providing a second table comprising a column indicative of edges corresponding to the arrangement of the structure of the hierarchical order;
relating the first table to the second table such that the structure of the hierarchical content can be derived therefrom; and
storing the content units and storing information indicative of the location of the storage of the content units.

Abstract
System and method for a content management system are described. The content management system takes complex hierarchically represented content structures and represents the hierarchical model by way of a relational model that creates node tables and edge tables to represent various content structures. Moreover, the content is separated from the structure such that the same content units may be used by multiple content structures.
