Document Name: Content Management Interoperability Services (CMIS) Extension: Symbolic Link

Description
This extension provides for a subclass of cmis:item called
cmis:symbolicLink. An object of type cmis:symbolicLink has an attribute
referenceId that specifies an object Id or latest accessible state
identifier. When the Id of a symbolic link item is specified in a service
request, the referenceId attribute of the item may be used instead of the
specified symbolic link Id. The replacement of the symbolic link Id with
another Id is called dereferencing. When dereferencing is performed, it is
recursive: if the referenceId of a symbolic link item is itself the Id of a
symbolic link item, then that symbolic link Id is also dereferenced. If a
dereferencing cycle is detected, a cmis:dereferenceException is thrown.
Dereferencing of symbolic links in a service call can be explicitly enabled
or disabled by an optional dereferenceSymbolicLinks parameter. If the
dereferenceSymbolicLinks parameter is not specified as FALSE in a service
call, then symbolic link dereferencing is performed, i.e., the default
value of the dereferenceSymbolicLinks parameter is TRUE.
