NemakiWare is a lightweight and customizable CMIS server powered by NoSQL. It’s built upon Apache Chemistry’s OpenCMIS library.
NemakiWare creates two “tables” in CouchDB: bedroom (main database to store all the available nodes), and archive (the archive database to store all the deleted nodes).
All the components except database are contained in a Tomcat server.
The software is written in the Java programming language
Key Features
- Access control – restrict folder/file access to particular groups or users. Driven by real-worlds needs, finer control are available, for instance allowing file modification but denying new folder creation.
- Custom properties – add extra metadata like barcodes or customer identifiers.
- Full-text search – find documents, not just by metadata but also by searching their content.
- Version control – see all versions of a document, and revert to a previous version if needed.
- Check in, check out – uses the industry standard way to do it, compliant with all CMIS clients.
- Site – teams collaborate in the context of “sites”, for instance “Marketing”, or “Project X”. Easily create new sites and invite collaborators.
- Cross-platform support – runs under Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows.
