CMIS (Concept)

CMIS (Content Management Interoperability Services) is open standard allowing different content management systems to "interoperate", sharing files, folders and their metadata as well as programmatic control of the platform over the internet.

CMIS defines an abstraction layer for controlling diverse document management systems and repositories using web protocols.  This allows different content management systems to connect to each other's repositories to import, access, and publish documents and their metadata.
