Content Object Types
There are various types of content that can be stored in a CMS. Every Content Object does have a specific content type. Content Object Values inherit that type from their Content Object. The types are used to access the content in the correct way (e.g. to set the MIME type in HTTP requests) but as well to provide specific editors for the manipulation of the values.
