CMIS live example

Three ECM vendors and the AIIM organisation have collaborated together to design and deploy a live example of federated search utilising the Content Management Integration Standard (CMIS). This is being demonstrated at the AIIM Conference in Philadelphia in the US.

This example is also available on the web at this location:

This is primarily a federated search and retrieve implementation of CMIS over Documentum, Nuxeo and Alfresco repositories. You can search across the repositories and then retrieve the document from your browser.

While some may say this is not stunning, this is a great test model of the standard (not yet ratified) in action. There are many organisations, especially the large ones that have multiple vendor products and therefore multiple repositories in place. The possibility of bringing these together in a federated way is an exciting possibility.
