Content
• FTP (via 3rd party now i think)

• CMIS
Plone Conference 2013 - Brasilia
CMIS• Content Management Interoperability
Specification
• An OASIS Standard (v1.0 - 2010; v1.1 2012)
• Supported by Nuxeo, Alfresco, Sharepoint, etc
• CMIS defines an abstraction layer for controlling diverse document management systems and repositories using web protocols
Plone Conference 2013 - Brasilia
CMISCMIS provides a common data model covering typed files and folders with generic properties that can be set or read. There is a set of services for adding and retrieving documents ('objects'). There may be an access control system, a checkout and version control facility, and the
ability to define generic relations. Two protocol bindings are defined, one using SOAP and another using REST. The model is based on common architectures of document
management systems.

collective.cmisbrowser
• Written by Sylvain Viollon of Infrae to use against Alfresco.
