[Building Sakai] OASIS Content Management Interoperability Services (CMIS)

I read the following with interest:

In an effort to make content management systems work more harmoniously
with one another, the Apache Software Foundation has promoted its
Apache Chemistry interoperability toolkit to a top level project.

Chemistry is an open source implementation of the CMIS (Content
Management Interoperability Services) standard, developed by OASIS
(Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information
Standards). CMIS provides a set of bindings for accessing data across
multiple CMIS-compliant systems, without the need to understand the
specific interface for each system.

According to CMIS supporters, it is designed to achieve content
interoperability in ways that JCR didn't manage to achieve, and is
meeting at least with some early success (at Adobe, Alfresco, IBM,
Microsoft, Nuxeo, OpenText and SAP).

I bring CMIS and Apache Chemistry to the attention of the Sakai CLE
and OAE communities in case they may provide fruitful pathways to
further deepen Sakai's interoperability both as a producer and
consumer of content.
