[Zope-dev] Zope - Document Management Integration

[Sameer Maggon]

We can access the DMS using our own XML APIs, so its like if we can build
some kind of an interface so that the users can add content from our DMS,
then it would be done.

We need that because some of our repositories (clients) have huge amount of
data in our DMS and they want to utilize that, so i was just thinking of
using Zope there.

Well, that depends how you can access the DMS data.
(proprietary protocol, xml-rpc, corba, etc.)

Depending upon intend you can then build "proxy" objects for Zope.

The question remains why you want to do this. Zope seems quite capable to do
custom document management (when setup rightly). And if you go the
proprietary way with the document management, you should be also capable to
do some proprietary CMS solution :)
