CachingContentStore
The CachingContentStore (CCS) class adds caching to any ContentStore implementation. Wrapping a slow ContentStore in a CachingContentStore improves access speed in many use cases. Example use cases include document storage using a XAM appliance or cloud-based storage, such as Amazon's S3.
CAS
See Central Authentication Service.
catalog
Digital Asset Management term. Cataloguing is the process of adding metadata to digital assets (for example, images and video). A catalog comprises the digital assets (i.e. the assets that include descriptive metadata) stored in a repository.
category
A category allows you to organize your content to help you retrieve the content you are looking for. You classify your content items with categories. The categories are organized into related groups to form a hierarchy. You can link a content item to more than one category.
Central Authentication Service

CIFS
Microsoft Common Internet File System (CIFS) is a network file system for sharing files across the Internet.

Content Delivery Network
A Content Delivery (or Distribution) Network (CDN) delivers contents to users using servers and data centers provided by the CDN operator. Examples are Amazon CloudFront and Brightcove Zencoder.
Content Management Interoperability Services
The Content Management Interoperability Services (CMIS) standard defines a domain model and Web Services and Restful AtomPub bindings that can be used by applications to work with one or more Content Management repositories/systems.

The CMIS interface is designed to be layered on top of existing Content Management systems and their existing programmatic interfaces. It is not intended to prescribe how specific features should be implemented within those CM systems, not to exhaustively expose all of the CM system's capabilities through the CMIS interfaces. Rather, it is intended to define a generic/universal set of capabilities provided by a CM system and a set of services for working with those capabilities.
