ECM: CMIS Spec On Track For Year End
CMSWire is reporting that the CMIS spec for ECM repository interoperability is on track and still expected before year end. That’s great news for the ECM community.
The CMIS Technical Committee met in early August for three days to discuss the state of the current spec and hammered out a draft for version 0.7. Word in the blog by Florent Guillaume of Nuxeo on the technical meeting is that things are going well and the technical committee is near to being able to submit the specification for the OASIS review process — it will first need to go through a public review and then will be opened up for an OASIS vote. If all goes well, the CMIS specification will become an OASIS ‘standard’.
There has been some discussion about how ACLs will be handled under CMIS. And since the .62 draft of the spec there has been a concept of ACLs and privileges, but it is very basic, and some vendors with much more sophisticated proprietary models have complained it is hard for them to map their models into the one proposed by CMIS.
With three months to go before the end of the year meeting that target will be tough, but all indications are that the spec is almost ready to be put out for review. We will see.
