#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.

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.

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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
