You’ve probably heard of CMISContent Defines a domain model and set of bindings, suchManagement as Web Service andInteroperability REST/Atom, that can beServices used by applications to work with one or more Content Management repositories/systems.

Basic History• 2005 – iECM Committee begins discussing need for a new standard – ODMA: Desktop dependent – WebDAV: Limited capability – Java Content Repository: Technology specific, API-base• 2006 – EMC, IBM, and Microsoft leave the iECM Committee and begin developing CMIS• 2008 – Initial proposal drafted by EMC, IBM & Microsoft – Reviewed by Alfresco, Open Text, Oracle, SAP – Draft was unveiled and released to OASIS• 2008 – The OASIS CMIS Technical Committee formed• 2009 – CMIS 1.0 released for public comment• 2010 – CMIS became an official standard

The Hype No More Silos!!!

What Does It Really Mean?

Three Fundamental Use Cases• Repository to Repository• Application to Repository• Federated Repository

Repository to Repository There are times you want to talk directly between content repositories• Publish a document from one system into another• Manage records from one centralized system

CMIS in a Publishing System Publishing: • Whitepapers • Official Guidelines • Reports 3) Document is 1) Create a Content: integrated into document. • XML website and • PDF published. CMIS 2) Publish Document CMIS Content ContentRepository Interface Interface Repository to WCM System.

Application to Repository• Sharing Content across applications• Collaboration/Enterprise 2.0 Applications – SharePoint as an interface, not repository – Content in collaborative platorms• Enterprise Software Applications• Generic Content Management Applications• Composite Content Applications (CCAs)

Composite Content Applications• What is a CCA? – Formerly known as CEVA – Electronic Medical Records – Case Management System – Correspondence Tracking System• Vendors with domain expertise build the applications with the business rules and plug into an Content Management System

In all cases, it is using the bestcontent application for the job against a shared Content Management System...…not shuffling content between systems

Industry Support• Large Content Management vendor support base – Support: IBM, EMC, Open Text, Microsoft, and Alfresco – Missing (so far): Hyland and Autonomy• Microsoft support – SharePoint 2010 as both a repository and application – Released as part of SharePoint Administrator Toolkit• Open Source Content Management support – Chemistry project provided open source implementation – All supporters of previous Java Content Repository standard will be able to claim CMIS compliance• Next step is application builders

Future of CMIS• Version 1.1 – Type Mutability – Browser binding (JSON)• Version 2.0 – Increased Records Management support – Support for Semantic functionality – Ability to have domain models

Getting Involved• CM Pros is working to improve CMIS – Educate the Content Management world – Collect real-world experiences – Suggest areas for improvement• Interested in joining the CM Pros CMIS Group? – Contact Laurence Hart – Email: lhart@cmprofessionals.org – Twitter: piewords

Summary• Content Management Interoperability Services – Official OASIS standard now – Planned evolution to stay relevant• Defines Content Management Domain Model – Content model the same across all bindings/implementations – Web Services and Atom bindings are ways to access model, not defining part of standard• CMIS is not the lowest common denominator – Defines functionality that is needed – Some parts are optional to provide for a greater ecosystem• It is in use now
