The big players in enterprise content management have huddled together in a darkened room and have come up with the first draft of a standard for content management. This standard is to be known as Content Management Interoperability Services or CMIS for short.
CMS Wire had this to say...'
It doesn’t come as a surprise that three of the major Enterprise Content Management (ECM) providers — EMC, IBM and Microsoft — have been secretly developing a technical Enterprise CMS specification. Their super secret project is called the Content Management Interoperability Services (CMIS) spec. A fancy new acronym it is, but beyond this is it really the beginning of a brave new world for content management interoperability?
To get the scoop on this draft CMIS, and the background behind its development, CMSWire spoke with executives from the three companies.
The entire process to move to a common enterprise content management specification started back in October 2006, when EMC, Microsoft and IBM began a joint plan to propose the first Web Services standards for exchanging content with and between Enterprise CMS systems. Version 0.1 of this specification was completed in July of 2007.
Somewhere along the line, they were joined by a few more prominent Enterprise CMS providers including: Open Text, Alfresco (good to see at least one open source CMS vendor in there), Oracle and SAP.
This past August, they held a CMIS Interoperability Workshop where they demonstrated prototypes that showed their solutions would work with the specification.'
