Lineage is a Plone product that allows subfolders of a Plone site to appear as
autonomous Plone sites to the everyday user. This hub and spoke structure allows
site administrators to easily manage multiple, seemingly independent, sub-entity
websites in one Plone. Furthermore, the "parent" site can access and view the
content in all the "child" sites while the child sites only view their own content.
The parent site can also syndicate chosen content to the selected child sites. Lineage
is less complex and easier to manage than a cluster of nested Plone sites but gives
users all the same benefits.
Lineage can be used within a large organization to manage multiple microsites,
such as school district sites, university departments, corporate product sites, public
library satellites, professional association events, and more.
