IBM® CMIS for Content Manager OnDemand is a web application that enables client applications that use the OASIS CMIS standard to work with content that is stored on IBM Content Manager OnDemand.
The OASIS CMIS standard enables client applications to work with multiple content management systems by defining a standard domain model and standard set of services and protocol bindings for Web Services and RESTful Atom Publishing Protocol (AtomPub). IBM Content Manager OnDemand is the implementation of the OASIS CMIS standard for IBM Content Manager OnDemand.

IBM CMIS for Content Manager OnDemand communicates with IBM Content Manager OnDemand by using the Content Manager OnDemand Web Enablement Kit (ODWEK) Java™ API. You must install ODWEK on the workstation where IBM CMIS for Content Manager OnDemand is deployed.
IBM CMIS for Content Manager OnDemand and other CMIS-enabled Enterprise Content Management systems communicate with client applications by using REST and Web Services bindings.
