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
