RE: [cmis] Specifying natural language for a document

["Doug Domeny" <ddomeny@ektron.com>]

I'm working on Rest/Atom binding, so I'm thinking of something like:

 

<service>/folders/<folder-id>/children?lang=fr

 

However, 'lang' is not a CMIS-defined parameter.

 

Additionally, at Ektron, content ids are the same across languages. That is, content id 24 can exist for English, Spanish, and French. So,

 

<service>/documents/24 refers to the same content, but translated into multiple languages.

 

Therefore, I would need either some session/cookie variable or query string variable to specify the language.

 

<service>/documents/24?lang=fr-FR

 

I'm wondering how others have dealt with language when not using query.

 

Thanks,

Doug

Hi Doug.

 

This sounds like a matter of information architecture and modeling. For example, you could have an attribute on a type to indicate natural language. You could then leverage CMIS SQL and CMIS query facilities to retrieve content in the relevant natural language.

 

Are you looking for something beyond query-based support?

What concepts exist, if any, for specifying the natural language of a document?

 

For example, when getting the children in a folder, is there a way to limit the documents to a specific language?

 

Thanks,
Doug
