Update on iECM Initiative

Added By Tony Byrne at 27-Sep-2005 | Twitter: @TonyByrne |

The working group on "Interoperable ECM" (iECM) sponsored by industry association AIIM held another formative meeting today. It's tough getting standards groups off the ground, but the group saw good progress, not the least of which was to decide to eschew developing new standards before existing ones could be mapped concretely against canonical content management processes to see what exactly is missing. For a while, the discussion drifted a bit too deeply into the the semantic-web weeds, but I think practical goals will prevail, so if you are interested in interoperable content management systems -- as either a user or a supplier -- then I encourage you to participate in this effort.
