Re: [cmis] CMIS stored query?

[Florian Müller <florian.mueller@alfresco.com>]

Saved queries/search templates/parameterized queries are rather useless 
in an interoperability scenario if the semantics are undefined. If a 
client doesn't know what the result set means, it will not execute the 
query.

Rather than talking about how repository features can be pushed through 
CMIS, we should talk about the scenarios that we want to cover. If this 
results in domain model extensions, I am all for it.

We should also avoid designing features from a binding perspective. 
Everything we add to the domain model should (must) work later with all 
bindings and we have three of them in CMIS 1.1.


Regards,

Florian
