Editing Document management system (section)

==History==
While many [[electronic document management system]]s store documents in their native file format ([[Microsoft Word]] or [[Microsoft Excel|Excel]], [[PDF]]), some web-based document management systems are beginning to store content in the form of [[HTML]]. These HTML-based document management systems can act as publishing systems or policy management systems.<ref>[http://www.policystat.com/health-systems-or-networks/ Policy Management System] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111029013250/http://www.policystat.com/health-systems-or-networks/ |date=29 October 2011 }}</ref> Content is captured either by using browser based editors or the importing and conversion of not HTML content. Storing documents as HTML enables a simpler full-text workflow as most search engines deal with HTML natively. DMS without an HTML storage format is required to extract the text from the proprietary format making the full text search workflow slightly more complicated.

Search capabilities including [[Full-text search#Boolean queries|boolean queries]], [[cluster analysis]], and [[stemming]]<ref>[http://www.policystat.com/blog/2011/11/08/making-medical-office-policies-easier-to-find-with-stemming/ Stemming: Making searching easier] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120111094547/http://www.policystat.com/blog/2011/11/08/making-medical-office-policies-easier-to-find-with-stemming/ |date=11 January 2012 }}</ref> have become critical components of DMS as users have grown used to internet searching and spend less time organizing their content.
