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.

Updated CMIS client library for Python – cmislib 0.1
Posted by Nico in CMIS Tools / APIs, Python on 13. January 2010
Jeff Potts just released the new version (0.1) of the python library for CMIS.
The library has been successfully tested with IBM FileNet and Alfresco.
You can download the source code here. Also documentation and easy install instructions for python are available.
As Jeff posted on this blog this is the first API known to work with different CMIS providers. This shows that the interoperability really works!
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.
IBM is developing a Mozilla Firefox plug-in for CMIS
Posted by Nico in CMIS Tools / APIs on 16. December 2009
I just read on twitter that IBM is developing a Mozilla Firefox plug-in for CMIS.
This plug-in makes it possible to access document management systems that support CMIS. At the moment it’s not available as a ready to use Firefox plug-in. But you can download the source code as an Eclipse project and build it on your own.
There is a detailed example available on how to build the Firefox plug-in.
Check the IBM website to get further details about the Firefox plug-in.
