Abstract: A method and system for content management, for example for managing content-rich services such as video on demand or news-feeds, includes a content-definition schema (10) comprising a plurality of content definitions (12). The stored definitions automatically configure a user interface (26,28) for the receipt of content, as well as automatically controlling content validation which may be carried out both locally and remotely of a content provider (22). The definitions (12) may also automatically configure a content database (20) which stores the content. The content definitions (12) may be modified by means of an administrative tool (40) which allows a relatively unskilled operator (42) to select options from a list.
