and Standards"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><a title=\"AIIM\" href=\"http:\/\/aiim.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">AIIM<\/a>\u00a0did a recent <a title=\"AIIM survey about ECM and standards\" href=\"http:\/\/www.aiim.org\/article-industrywatch.asp?ID=31411\" target=\"_blank\">survey<\/a> to try to determine end-user opinions about standards and Enterprise Content Management (ECM) Systems.\u00a0 Their survey was sent to 1200 end-users of content and document management systems in nine different countries.\u00a0 The top three benefits of standards and ECM cited by users include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Unifies Business Practices (42%)<\/li>\n<li>Leverages our IT skill set (38%)<\/li>\n<li>Decreases total cost of ownership (37%)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Some standards that AIIM mentions in the survey that they feel are relevant to ECM include XML, .NET, SOAP, UDDI, ebXML, and CORBA.<\/p>\n<p>While standards like SOAP are important to any IT initiative today, two initiatives that are very important to ECM and interoperability of ECM systems are AIIM&#8217;s <a title=\"Interoperable Enterprise Content Management\" href=\"http:\/\/www.aiim.org\/standards.asp?ID=29284\" target=\"_blank\">iECM <\/a>(Interoperable Enterprise Content Management) and <a title=\"Java content repository API for Java\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Content_repository_API_for_Java\">JCR<\/a> (Java Content Repository).\u00a0 The JCR has been specified within the <a title=\"Day Software's white paper on JSR-170\" href=\"http:\/\/www.day.com\/etc\/medialib\/day_download_documents\/white_papers.Par.0001.File.tmp\/JSR_170_White_Paper.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">JSR-170<\/a> and on-going <a title=\"JSR-283\" href=\"http:\/\/jcp.org\/en\/jsr\/detail?id=283\" target=\"_blank\">JSR-283<\/a>\u00a0initiatives.\u00a0 AIIM provides a very good <a title=\"AIIM blog on iECM\" href=\"http:\/\/iecm.blogspot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">blog<\/a> that discusses some of the differences between the two iECM and JCR.<\/p>\n<p>One\u00a0major difference between iECM and JCR is that iECM is language agnostic while the JCR is language-specific for Java.\u00a0 The first planned protocol binding for iECM is Web Services based.\u00a0 iECM is designed to work well in Services Oriented Architecture, while JCR is not.\u00a0 This deficiency is one reason that JCR is being addressed and reworked as part of JSR-283.<\/p>\n<p>The services approach of layering a Web Services interface on top of an content management system that can be implemented using any language or architecture style is an approach that is much friendlier to existing content systems than that of JCR.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>iECM is a developing\u00a0ECM standard that deserves more detailed consideration as an approach for providing ECM interoperability via a common interface.\u00a0 It has yet to develop much momentum, but it appears to be in good position to gain popularity.<\/p>\n<div class=\"lightsocial_container\"><div class=\"lightsocial_element\"><a class=\"lightsocial_a\"
