  11. NAI Website: Content Management NASA Astrobiology Institute

  12. Content Management System (CMS) • NAI Central has developed a Content Management System (CMS) for efficiently managing website content • Key Features • Allows website content to be added, updated and maintained using a secure web interface. • Allows content owners to manage their own content which reduces bottlenecks and allows the web developer(s) to focus on other projects. • Because website content is stored in a database, the look, feel, and organization of the website can be changed without having to reprogram content.

  14. Annual Report Submission Website • Benefit to Teams: • Simplified data entry • Prefilled project data, team roster • Publications submitted in native format (Endnote) • Ability to review reports submitted by all team members before final submission • Benefit to NAI Central: • Time Savings • Finalized data is inserted directly into database, eliminating manual data entry NASA Astrobiology Institute

  16. Web Statistics Capability Overview Who are our Visitors? • Using web log analysis, visitors can be categorized as USA public (.com, .net domains), USA government (.gov) USA educational (.edu) USA non-profit (.org) and international. Knowing the proportion of visitors from these categories provides data useful in determining if the target audience of the website is being reached. • The list of visitors can be filtered to determine the number of visitors from a particular host or institution. The NAI has found this useful in determining the webpage usage of its members. The operating system, browser, and screen resolution of visitors is also collected. NASA Astrobiology Institute

  17. Web Statistics Capability Overview How do visitors reach our site? • Using web log analysis, it can be determined how visitors reach the website. • Specifically, it can be determined whether visitors reached the site by • using an Internet search engine; • clicking on a link from an external website; or • typing in the website address directly or using a bookmark. Which pages of the site do our visitors view? • Detailed statistics on the webpages viewed by visitors are available. This allows the website owner to determine which sections of the website are relevant to visitors. NASA Astrobiology Institute
