Components

Alfresco Enterprise 3.0 is comprised of the following.

Alfresco Share

Share is built on Alfresco’s innovative ECM repository and delivers out-of-the-box, collaborative content management. Alfresco Share simplifies capturing, sharing and retrieval of information across virtual teams, boosts productivity and reduces network bandwidth requirements and email volumes between project team members.

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.

Refer to Surf Platform for detailed information.

Alfresco Repository Public API

The Repository Public API provides content and collaboration services for customizing and developing Alfresco applications.  Labs 3b introduces new 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).
   

Alfresco Draft CMIS Implementation

The Alfresco Enterprise 3.0 release includes a Draft CMIS Implementation.

The Content Management Interoperability Services (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.

For more information on the CMIS implementation, refer to CMIS.
