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.

This year it is planned to show two CMIS scenarios.
The Federated Repository and the Application to Repository scenario.

Therefore they need additional support to make it again a success.

If you are interested in participating in the 2010 iECM CMIS demo project, please contact Thomas Pole (pole at harris dot com). If you wish to participate as a vendor, please contact Betsy Fanning (bfanning at aiim dot org). Many skills and resources are needed, including:

• Testers
• Content classifiers
• Software developers
• Coordinators to help keep the team productive, including working with the vendors
• Vendors
• Healthcare professionals to act as Subject Matter Experts (SME)

It’s a fact that most large organizations have multiple ECM standards. Watch this webcast to find out all about Alfresco and Content Management Interoperability Services.  Gabriele Columbro sets the scene and looks at the CMIS data model, CMIS services, queries and how the CMIS Maven Toolkit jump starts your application build. Includes a demo of the Alfresco CMIS 1.0cd04 repository.

It shows the Enterprise Content Management Systems that will support CMIS. It also shows when they are going to support it.

Suggestions are highly welcome!

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.

IBM is part of the OASIS CMIS committee.

At the moment the implementation is in accordance with the draft version 0.5 of the standard. It covers the web-service part and aims to be a complete implementation of CMIS v1.0 with the help of the community.

At the moment the project is in the alpha status.
