CMIS Integration Guide

This guide covers CMIS-specific configuration and requirements for the Flexible GraphRAG system.

About CMIS

CMIS (Content Management Interoperability Services) is a standard that allows different content management systems to inter-operate over the Internet.

For more information: Libraries Supporting KG building and GraphRAG

CMIS Repository Requirements

Your CMIS server needs to support CMIS 1.0 or CMIS 1.1:

  • Alfresco (CMIS 1.1)
  • Nuxeo (CMIS 1.1)
  • OpenText Documentum, OpenText Content Management, OpenText eDocs (CMIS 1.1)
  • SAP Hana, SAP Extended ECM, SAP Mobile (CMIS 1.1)
  • IBM FileNet Content Manager, IBM Content Manager (full CMIS 1.0, partial CMIS 1.1)
  • Microsoft SharePoint Server (CMIS 1.0, on premises only)

CMIS Configuration

Add these settings to your .env file:

# CMIS Configuration
CMIS_URL=http://your-cmis-server/alfresco/api/-default-/public/cmis/versions/1.1/atom
CMIS_USERNAME=your-username
CMIS_PASSWORD=your-password

CMIS API Endpoints

Document Processing

  • POST /api/process-folder - Process documents from a CMIS folder 
    {
  "folder_path": "/Shared/GraphRAG"
}

Legacy CMIS Usage

For legacy CMIS-specific implementations, the system provides backward compatibility with the original CMIS-focused endpoints.

CMIS Library Information

  • Package: cmislib 0.7.0
  • PyPI: cmislib 0.7.0
  • Summary: Apache Chemistry CMIS client library for Python
  • Info: Apache Chemistry
  • Note: cmislib 0.7.0 supports Python 3.x (previous versions were Python 2.x only)

File Structure (CMIS-specific)

  • cmis_util.py - CMIS repository interaction utilities
  • sources.py - Includes CMIS data source connector

Notes

  • The system maintains compatibility with existing CMIS workflows
  • CMIS integration is optional - the system can work with filesystem and Alfresco sources
  • For CMIS-specific deployments, ensure your repository supports the required CMIS version
