CMIS provides a set of services to access and manage the content or repository. These services include:
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Repository Services | Discover information about the repository and the object types defined for the repository. |
| Navigation Services | Traverse the folder hierarchy in a CMIS repository, and to locate documents which are checked out. |
| Object Services | Execute ID-based CRUD functions (Create, Retrieve, Update, Delete) on objects in a repository. |
| Multi-filing Services (optional) | Put an object in more than one folder (multi-filing), or outside the folder hierarchy (unfiling). |
| Discovery Services | Search for queryable objects in a repository. |
| Versioning Services | Check out, navigate to documents, or update a Document Version Series (checkOut, cancelCheckOut, getPropertiesOfLatestVersion, getAllVersions, deleteAllVersions). |
| Relationship Services (optional) | Retrieve an object for its relationships. |
| Policy Services (optional) | Apply, remove, or query for policies. |
| ACL Services | Return and manage the Access Control List (ACL) of an object. ACL Services are not supported by all repositories. |
Some repositories might not implement certain optional capabilities, but they are still considered as CMIS-compliant. Each service has binding which defines the way messages will be serialized and wired. Binding is based on HTTP and uses the Atom Publishing Protocol.
