The likes of Nick Patience, Chuck Harris, Craig Randall, Cornelia Davis, Bex Huff and others have chimed in on the CMIS specification. I wonder if any of them have thoughts on the following:
- Should EMC/Documentum dump their fugly DFS implementation once CMIS support is released?
- Will CMIS implementations support important security standards such as SAML?
- While we understand that ECM systems should store content, not users, do the ones that store users require junking up the specification in order to accomodate?
- How should ECM incorporate? Do you prefer content server --> CMIS or content server --> DFC --> DFS --> CMIS?
- Once an implementation of CMIS is released, should vendors make it work with prior versions or should they force upgrades?
- How self-describing should the WSDL be? For example, should each element have a choice type or should we resort to less optimal "helpers"?
- Should CMIS support WS-Transactions?
- The conversation to date has been all about producers. Any thoughts on how consumers will embrace? Thoughts on how Siebel, SalesForce, etc could leverage?
- How should compression be handled within an ECM SOA?
