Hi everyone,
I have a proposal for DSpace, thank you for reading, and it is very appriciated
if anyone can give some feedback.
Project description:
My proposal is to implement Content Management Interoperability Services (CMIS)
in DSpace.
CMIS is a proposed standard for improving interoperability between Enterprise
Content Management systems. It proposes a data model plus a set of generic
services and several protocol bindings for these services, including: SOAP and
Representational State Transfer (REST)/(Atom).
Although starting as an industry initiative, CMIS is now being administered by
standards body, OASIS. Participants in the process include Alfresco, Day
Software, EMC, FatWire, IBM, Microsoft, Open Text, Oracle and SAP. So, it is
properly that most of the commercial and non- commercial content management
system will support it in the near future.
Profit for DSpace:
1. Keep DSpace in touch with the latest and popular industry standard. (CMIS
specification 1.0 is published in March 2010)
2. Enable DSpace to interoperate with other content repository (Such as IBM
FileNet, EMC Documenter) easily, so customers can build and leverage
applications against multiple repositories.
3. Decouples Web services and content from the content management repository,
enabling customers to manage content independently
4. Supports composite application development and mash-up by the business or IT
analyst
Roadmap:
1. Get familiar with DSpace and CMIS specification, then compare the data
models of them, and finally get a solution for mapping DSpace data model to
CMIS’s. (Until end of May)
2. Implement the CMIS specification. There are two Java implementations of
CMIS, Apache Chemistry and OpenCMIS, I can start my work base either of them.(
until end of July or beginning of August)
3. Testing of all features with the help of the Drupal community. This
will begin as soon as one component is finished and should be completed by the
middle of August.
Best Regards！
