Webtop is a WDK-based application. A WDK-based application is built on WDK (Web Development Kit) functionality. A WDK-based application lets you access an Documentum repository over the web. WDK functionality lets you access, edit, and manage content in multiple repositories. WDK functionality lets you distribute content through automated business processes, restrict access to content according to permission sets, and assign version numbers to content to help keep track of revisions.
A repository is a virtual storehouse for the content you work on, and share with other employees. Each repository provides security, tools, and processes for sharing content among many users. Processes control the automated routing of content, and assign document lifecycles to content. Processes allow you to create, edit, and forward content regardless of your technical expertise.
A repository stores two kinds of information for a content file:
The content, which is the text, graphics, sound, video, binary content, or other content that makes up the file.
The properties, which are descriptive characteristics about the file, such as creation date, author, version number, and other information. Property values can only be edited by the file’s creator or a user with high enough security settings.
