11.4 Document management resources on the Internet

---

As PDM systems in general consider document management and in particular information management as an integral part of PDM, many PDM resources include references to DMSs (see Chapter 9). Many resources related to Web-based applications and services also include references to document management. In addition, many document management services directly address document, content, and knowledge management. Some of these are listed next. They in turn contain a vast number of additional references.
