Content Management Interoperability Services (CMIS) [1] is a standards proposal consisting of a set of Web services for sharing information among disparate content repositories that seeks to ensure interoperability for people and applications using multiple content repositories. EMC, IBM, Microsoft, Alfresco, Nuxeo, Open Text, SAP, Day Software and Oracle have joined forces to propose CMIS, the first Web services technical specification for exchanging content with and between Enterprise Content Management (ECM) systems. The standards proposal has been registered for public comment with OASIS. [2] [3]
More specifically, Content Management Interoperability Services (CMIS) is a technical specification domain model (data and services) for interacting with an ECM repository via Web Services. It provides a content management domain-specific data model, a set of generic services that act on that data model and several protocol bindings for these services, including: SOAP and Representational State Transfer (REST)/(Atom).
CMIS Benefits
CMIS specification provides a Web services interface that:
- Is designed to work over existing repositories enabling customers to build and leverage applications against multiple repositories -- unlocking content they already have
- Decouples Web services and content from the content management repository, enabling customers to manage content independently
- Provides common Web services and Web 2.0 interfaces to dramatically simplify application development
- Is development platform and language agnostic
- Supports composite application development and mash-up “on the glass” by the business or IT analyst
- Grows the ISV and developer community
Historical Notes
The initial work of developing the momentum and use cases that led to the CMIS proposal was conducted by the iECM Initiative [4] sponsored by AIIM. This ongoing project [5] to foster interoperability [6] among ECM systems is supported by the collaborative efforts of governmental, commercial, vendor, and consulting organizations.
