CMIS Standard
ECM (Enterprise content management ) - is a set of technologies used to capture, store, preserve and deliver content and documents and content related to organizational processes. ECM tools allow the management of an organization's unstructured information, wherever that information exists.
ECM employed the technologies and strategies of content management to address business process issues, such as records and auditing, knowledge sharing, personalization and standardization of content, and so on.
With a public review of the Content Management Interoperability Specification (CMIS) expected to be announced sometime soon, it's definitely time to check in and see what the various player have been up to.Reminder: CMIS is an OASIS specification. It may well end up as a standard (and we hope that this happens), but it's not there yet. Here's where things stand today.
CMIS Update
Alfresco Software and Joomlatools recently announced the first
integration based on Content Management Interoperability Services
(CMIS). The Alfresco:Joomla!™ integration module was built using the
draft CMIS REST API to allow organizations running Joomla-based web
sites to access Alfresco's robust open source content management
repository.
Alfresco is the leading open source alternative for enterprise
content management. The company couples the innovation of open source
with the stability of a true enterprise-class platform at much lower
cost. Joomla is an award-winning open source web content management
system (CMS), which enables organizations to build web sites and
powerful online applications. Joomlatools provides consulting services
and application development for Joomla.
In case you didn't read the
blog entry about CMIS by Kas, Microsoft, EMC, and IBM recently announce that
they, along with other vendors like Open Text and Alfresco, have submitted a new
content integration standard to OASIS. This new standard should enable disparate
content management solutions to exchange content in a more standardized way. Presumably,
this standard will enable organizations with multiple content repositories manage
and present (to various applications) those repositories as a virtual content
store.
