This week sees a group of ECM vendors meeting in Colorado for a CMIS Face to Face where they will be discussing integration approaches using CMIS and testing their CMIS interfaces for compatibility with other vendor's tools. Unfortunately I couldn't attend the event but thought I'd blog about our progress with CMIS and post a video of KnowledgeTree's CMIS interface in action.
I've worked directly with implementations of other standards for various purposes and have long been a fan of standardised communication mechanisms allowing people to share their data without having to worry about format conversions and communication issues, as well as seeing some of the issues which can arise when someone does not adhere to the specified standard. With this in mind I was excited to jump into the CMIS specification even though it is still under ongoing development.
