What is the classification

Dear all,
How do you classify products which provide a SDK and host modules like following products:
MS SharePoint, DotNetNuke, WordPress , Joomla  Drupal,  Magento , osCommerce, ZenCart , VirtueMart
I just need a name to use it in my research paper,
Thanks

These are typically known as Content Management Systems (CMS). They are designed to provide a way for webmasters to be able to manage and update web content without needing to know much about coding while simultaneously offering a robust SDK to allow developers to provide custom modules to perform more complex or specialized tasks.
I would like to add that all these use Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture which separates an application into three parts: Model, View, Controller or the MVC.
In simple words, View is the front-end or UI, Model is the data + logic and Controller is the interface between Model & View.

@Russ Suter Thanks for your reply , osCommerce ist not a CMS.
Yes I know most of them if not all "some how" provide CMS capabilities , but you cant classify it as CMS cuz such a tiny feature.

For example may call it "Productivity Apps", but I not satisfy with such a name...
@Prasadh Baapaat, Thanks for your reply , MVC is a technical classification and apply for many applications, not I unique feature of those I mentioned.
