Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products for managing content objects in a content management system. A metadata template is assigned to a content object of the content management system. Extensible metadata pertaining to the content object is allocated in accordance with the assigned metadata template. Various operations over the content object result in population of the allocated extensible metadata. When the content object is subjected to a workflow, the execution flow and/or the form of responses associated with execution of the workflow are informed by the populated extensible metadata. A single content object can take on an association with multiple sets of extensible metadata and each set of extensible metadata can take on association with a respective workflow.
