Content Management Interoperability Services (CMIS) is an open standard that allows different content management systems to inter-operate over the Internet.[1] Specifically, CMIS defines an abstraction layer for controlling diverse document management systems and repositories using web protocols.

CMIS defines a domain model plus web services and Restful AtomPub (RFC5023) bindings that can be used by applications. OASIS, a web standards consortium, approved CMIS as an OASIS Specification on May 1, 2010.[2] CMIS 1.1 has been approved as an OASIS specification on December 12, 2012.[3]

CMIS provides a common data model covering typed files and folders with generic properties that can be set or read. There is a set of services for adding and retrieving documents ('objects'). There may be an access control system, a checkout and version control facility, and the ability to define generic relations. Two protocol bindings are defined, one using WSDL and SOAP and another using Representational State Transfer (REST), using the AtomPub convention.[4] The model is based on common architectures of document management systems.

Although initiated by AIIM, CMIS is now administered by the OASIS standards body. Participants in the process include Adobe Systems Incorporated, Alfresco, EMC, eXo, FatWire, HP, IBM, ISIS Papyrus, Liferay, Microsoft, Nuxeo, Open Text, Oracle, Newgen OmniDocs and SAP. The standard is available for public comment at OASIS.[5]

Specification progress & TC members [edit]

The specification is currently approved as OASIS CMIS v1.1 standard.[6]

There are public discussion lists.[7]

The Technical Committee (TC) includes the following organizations: Adobe Systems Incorporated, AIIM, Alfresco Software, ASG Software Solutions, Booz Allen Hamilton, Content Technologies, dotCMS, Ektron, EMC Corporation, Entropysoft, Exalead, Inc., FatWire, Fidelity Investments, GX Software, HP, IBM, ISIS Papyrus, Microsoft Corporation, Nuxeo, Open Text Corporation, Oracle Corporation, Quark, Pearson PLC, SAP AG, Sun Microsystems, Wells Fargo, WeWebU Software AG, and Zia Consulting.

Benefits [edit]

The CMIS specification provides a Web services interface that:

  • Is program language-agnostic (REST and SOAP are implemented in many languages)
  • Decouples web service and content. So CMIS can be used to access a historic document repository.

Historical notes [edit]

The initial work of developing the momentum and use cases that led to the CMIS proposal was conducted by the iECM Initiative[8] sponsored by AIIM. This ongoing project[9] to foster interoperability[10] among ECM systems is supported by the collaborative efforts of governmental, commercial, vendor, and consulting organizations.

List of CMIS books and publications [edit]

CMIS and Apache Chemistry in Action. Covers the entire spectrum of CMIS server and client development with Apache Chemistry including Java, Groovy, Python, PHP, JavaScript, C#, and Objective-C. Covers CMIS 1.0 and 1.1.[11]

List of implementations [edit]

CMIS Servers [edit]

A CMIS server stores content, and offers access via the CMIS protocol. Some servers also allow access via other protocols.
