Alfresco Draft CMIS Implementation


This release includes a draft Content Management Interoperability Services (CMIS) implementation. This implementation is for preview only as the specification is not complete and not supported under the Enterprise subscription.

The CMIS specification defines a domain model and set of API bindings, that can be used by applications to work with one or more Enterprise Content Management repositories or systems.

The Alfresco Draft CMIS Implementation includes:


  • CMIS REST API binding
  • CMIS Web Services API binding
  • CMIS query language
  • Apache Abdera CMIS Extension
  • CMIS REST API Binding Test Harness

The CMIS technical draft specification (v0.5), announced Sept 10th 2008, has been developed jointly by EMC, IBM, Microsoft, Alfresco, Open Text, Oracle, and SAP.


Microsoft Office SharePoint Protocol Support


The Microsoft Office SharePoint protocol support offers Microsoft users greater choice by providing them with the first open source fully-compatible SharePoint repository. Companies can leverage existing investments in Linux, Java as well as Microsoft .NET connection software to significantly reduce their SharePoint total cost of ownership and maximize their hardware and software investments.

Alfresco Surf Platform


The Alfresco Surf Platform enables you to build dynamic, REST-oriented web applications and collaborative web sites.

It is built on Alfresco Web Scripts technology which uses light-weight scripting and templating. The Surf platform is designed to work in a number of different web environments, as well as a Web Part in Microsoft SharePoint Portal. It includes content oriented components designed around the Yahoo!® User Interface (YUI) Library and Adobe® Flash® for dynamic uploads and previewing of content and other information. The new user interface components make it much simpler for users to develop new collaborative web applications.


Alfresco Repository Public API


The Repository Public API provides content and collaboration services for customizing and developing Alfresco applications. This includes services such as site management, site activities, tagging, commenting, thumbnails, blogs, wikis, and forums to support social collaboration.

The Repository Public API has two forms:


  1. A RESTful API for remotely connecting to the Repository as used by Alfresco Share.
  2. A Javascript API for developing extensions to the Repository (as used in Web Scripts, Actions etc).
