BluePrinting
BluePrinting is a key concept in SDL Tridion. This section provides an overview of BluePrinting with regard to Online Marketing Explorer.
A BluePrint establishes the relationships between Publications and enables your organization to share and manage content within multiple Publications. BluePrinting allows you to reuse content by defining global content at a high level which is then shared down the BluePrint hierarchy. For example, a Corporate Web site (.com) contains global content that is shared to local Web sites (.nl, .fr, .co.uk and so on) where it is localized. A local Web site contains global content inherited from the Corporate Web site and local content created by the local organization for the local market.
- Local items—content created in this Publication
- Shared items—content shared from a Parent Publication
- Local copies—shared items that have been localized
