WeWebU joined OASIS and its CMIS Technical Committee
Posted by Nico in CMIS Clients on 8. February 2010
WeWebU Software AG is now a member of the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards (OASIS) and its Content Management Interoperability Services (CMIS) Technical Committee (TC).
WeWebU already has a software named OpenWorkdesk that acts as a powerful client to different ECM systems. The following ECM systems can already be accessed:
IBM ECM systems:
- IBM FileNet Image Services
- IBM FileNet Content Manager
- IBM FileNet Business Process Manager
- IBM Content Manager (CM8)
- IBM Content Manager on Demand
Other ECM systems can also be supported through JSR 170.
With the coming CMIS adapter, its user-friendly applications will be interoperable with almost every ECM system and usable even for almost every cross-repository scenario. The WeWebU OpenWorkdesk for CMIS will be available in the first half of 2010 with only short delay after the finalization of the CMIS specification by OASIS.

Microsoft has just joined the 2010 AIIM CMIS Demo
I just read it on Twitter by Laurence Hart.
#Microsoft has now joined #EMC, #Alfresco, #Nuxeo, & #IBM in supporting the #AIIM #CMIS demo for #aiim10. #ECM
If you like to know more about the 22010 AIIM CMIS demo or if you like to participate check the following blog post for more details.
The AIIM iECM CMIS Demo 2009
Posted by Nico in CMIS Server, DMS on 28. January 2010
Thomas Pole and Laurence Hart wrote a document about the AIIM iECM CMIS Demo 2009 (iECM is the abbreviation for AIIM’s Interoperable ECM).
Within this document they explain how the CMIS demo was planned and accomplished. The concept was to create a federated search interface that would allow users to search multiple repositories from a single search screen. Several vendors showed interest in assisting the iECM committee and participated on the initial planning calls. At the End Nuxeo, EMC and Alfresco commited themselves to participate to make their repositories CMIS mostly compliant for this demo. This demo has been presented at the AIIM Expo 2009.

Fundamental use cases for CMIS
Thomas Pole and Laurence Hart mentioned three fundamental use cases for CMIS:
- Repository to Repository: This is the direct communication between repositories. This most often occurs when content needs to be managed from a central, “master”, repository.
- Application to Repository: This is when an application that uses content stores that content in an external repository. Through the use of CMIS, the application can focus on providing its core business solution without managing the content or integrating with different repositories that may each have their own API.
- Federated Repository: This is the presentation of a collection of repositories to a user or application as a single repository. This model occurs frequently when users need to combine the services and information available from multiple systems to satisfy searches for content across a scope larger than any individual department.
Thomas Pole is the chair of the iECM committee and Laurence Hart is a member of the iECM committee

CMIS Shell (cmissh) – command-line client for CMIS
Posted by Nico in CMIS Clients, CMIS Tools / APIs on 21. January 2010
Stefane Fermigier just posted a CMIS shell client (cmissh). The client has been developed by Nuxeo - the developer of a famous Open Source Enterprise Content Management System.
cmissh can be used interactively (with a nice autocompletion console) to explore and run CRUD operations on a CMIS server, or as a testing tool. We’ve included, for instance, a test script in the distribution, called ‘testscript’, that can be run against the Nuxeo demo server and will fail on errors. I’ve also been able to use cmissh against the Chemistry test server.
They have decided to donate the code to the Apache Chemistry project. Please check the blog post to get a shell usage example.
