Session: Alfresco CMIS
Instructors: Michael G. Uzquiano and Nancy Garrity
Track: CMS Foundations
Audience: Developers and Content Creators
Alfresco CMIS will explore the benefits of introducing CMIS into your content applications. CMIS (Content Management Interoperability Services) is an emerging standard for improving RESTful interoperability between Enterprise Content Management systems. It enables web applications to discover, fetch and work with content objects in existing ECM systems such as those offered by Alfresco, IBM, Microsoft, Open Text, EMC and many others.
This session will use hands-on exercises to show how content can be produced in Alfresco using rules, workflow and transformations and then published and displayed on a Web Site via CMIS. We will demonstrate integration to Drupal but the mechanics in concept will be applicable to other platforms such as Wordpress or Joomla!.
Key Points:
- What Is CMIS?
- Examples of invoking RESTful CMIS services
- Overview the Alfresco CMIS Repository
- Modeling Content Production in Alfresco (rules, Office integration)
- Retrieving and rendering content into Drupal-powered Web Sites
Prerequisite: Technical background recommended.
