receive performance data related to the identified portion of the managed content; and

include the performance data with the content version metadata associated with the identified portion of the managed content.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the versioned content metadata includes performance data related to interactions with the portion of the managed content associated with the versioned content metadata.

6. The system of claim 5, wherein the versioned content management application further configures the processor to identify the portion of the managed content corresponding to the requested content based on the performance data.

7. The system of claim 1, wherein:

the managed content comprises a first portion of content and a second portion of content, where the first portion of content and the second portion of content are related via a hierarchical relationship; and

wherein the versioned content management application further configures the processor to;

identify changes between the obtained content, the first portion of content, and the second portion of content;

generate content version metadata using the identified changes; and

generate the obtained content using the content version metadata and the first portion of content.

8. The system of claim 1, wherein the versioned content management application further configures the processor to:

obtain unmanaged content;

incorporate the unmanaged content into the retrieved portion of the managed content to create merged content; and

transmit the merged content.

9. The system of claim 1, wherein the versioned content management application further configures the processor to transmit the retrieved portion of the managed content to a content delivery server system, where the content delivery server system is configured to:

receive content from at least one versioned content management server system;

receive delivery requests for content; and

transmit content in response to the received delivery requests.

10. The system of claim 9, wherein the content delivery server system is configured to:

identify one or more references to unmanaged content in the received content;

request unmanaged content based on the references to unmanaged content;

receive unmanaged content from at least one unmanaged content source; and

update the content to incorporate the referenced unmanaged content.

11. A method for managing versioned content, comprising:

receiving updated content using a versioned content management server system, where the updated content is associated with author data;

locating managed content stored in the versioned content management server system based on the received updated content using the versioned content management server system;
