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.

IBM FileNet and IBM Content Manager Technology Preview for CMIS
Posted by Nico in CMIS Server, DMS on 17. December 2009
IBM offers a technical preview for there CMIS implementation that provides support for the CMIS REST/Atom binding for the IBM® FileNet® and IBM Content Manager repositories.
The preview provides a servlet (CMIS web application) packaged as a WAR (Web Application Archive) file that can be deployed in WebSphere®, to support REST services expressed in the CMIS specification. The CMIS web application translates these services at run time to Java™ API calls to the IBM FileNet and IBM Content Manager repositories. The preview uses the IBM FileNet and IBM Content Manager Java APIs to access the native repository.
You can download this preview here (30 MB).
IBM is part of the OASIS CMIS committee.

Integration between ez Publish and Nuxeo via CMIS
The ez Publish partner NXC published an interesting video. This video shows the integration of the Web Content Management System ez Publish 4.2 and the Document Management System Nuxeo via CMIS.

MOSS 2010 and CMIS
According to the post of Ethan Gur-esh in the msdn blog Microsoft will support CMIS with SharePoint 2010. But Microsoft will wait until CMIS 1.0 is officially released.
An interesting quote from Ethan regarding CMIS:
At this point, pretty much every vendor in the ECM space is really motivated to start supporting CMIS in their respective products. We’ve all seen the excitement from customers about CMIS — for example, a recent AIIM survey showed that 15% of organizations are already interested in using CMIS. (This is an unbelievable number for a standard that isn’t even final yet!)
