Most relevant bit to me at the moment...

"If CMIS is Not for WCM…Then What?

As usual, Laurence Hart (The Pie) explains it best, so I'm going to paraphrase him. His first example is Repository-to-Repository (R2R) interaction.

R2R interactions happen often in existing Enterprise CMS suites, often in proprietary ways. A fairly typical example is the journey of a piece of content from the collaboration tool (authoring environment) to the content management tool (to publish it) to the records management tool (to keep it compliant).

Each component in this journey could speak CMIS and pass the content directly between one another. As CMIS does not have an event system to let some external workflow engine know about changes, this kind of integration can't be easily replaced by an external application without hacking.

I prefer Laurence's second use case — Application-to-Repository (A2R) interaction. Here we have an application that uses CMIS to talk to any compliant repository. This is the "SQL for Content Repository" situation and the possibilities are endless. The "application" could be lightweight JavaScript running in a browser for a bit of CMIS mashup fun.

His third use case, Federated Repositories, is A2R on steroids — a single user interface presents the information from multiple repositories. This is clearly good news for a cross-repository search but, then again, search engines have always been good at indexing disparate sources and aggregating the results, so we probably don't need CMIS for that. But if we want to edit the results and save them back to the repository, we need a lot more than a search engine.

People have suggested that CMIS might be useful for content migrations. This makes some sense, but only if you're in a hurry to decommission a legacy system. Otherwise, just leave the content where it is and use one of the methods above to get at it.

It will be interesting to see if pure-play content migration vendors such as V

"Content Management Interoperability Services (CMIS) connector for SharePoint Server 2010

The Content Management Interoperability Services (CMIS) connector for SharePoint Server 2010 enables SharePoint users to interact with content stored in any repository that has implemented the CMIS standard, as well as making SharePoint 2010 content available to any application that has implemented the CMIS standard.

The CMIS connector for SharePoint Server 2010 includes two features:

* The Content Management Interoperability Services (CMIS) Consumer Web Part, which can be added to any SharePoint page. This Web Part displays and lets users interact with the contents of any CMIS repository.
* The Content Management Interoperability Services (CMIS) Producer, which allows applications to interact with SharePoint lists and document libraries programmatically by means of the interfaces defined in the CMIS standard.

For more information about the Content Management Interoperability Services (CMIS) standard, see OASIS Content Management Interoperability Services (CMIS) TC (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=196694).

This tool is not supported for SharePoint Foundation 2010."
