Apache Shindig Albums & MediaItems Implemented for CMIS Proof Of Concept

[Eric Woods <wo...@gmail.com>]

Hi everyone,

As you may know, I'm working to align the CMIS & OpenSocial specifications.

In addition to a bi-directional mapping utility that maps MediaItems to CMIS
documents, I have recently implemented the Albums & MediaItems services
within Apache Shindig.  This represents a major step in our efforts.  With a
working implementation of Albums & MediaItems, our approach is to next swap
out Shindig's sample JSON database with a CMIS-compliant repository.  Client
OpenSocial gadgets will see no difference with the Albums & MediaItems
interfaces, but these items will be persisted on the back-end in a
CMIS-compliant repository (currently using Apache Chemistry's OpenCMIS).
Next steps are to write a sample OpenSocial gadget that exposes the Albums &
MediaItems services and to write the CMIS back-end component for Shindig.

Refer to our Wiki for more details or to track my progress:

The reference implementation for Albums & MediaItems can be found here:

All feedback is welcome.

Thanks,
