Hi Rajath, 

the UCB (universal content broker) defines an API to access files in whatever 
file system, file storage etc. For each file store/system a UCP (universal 
content provider) has to be implemented that implements the UCP API. A UCP 
defines a special URL schema that triggers in the end the usage of this UCP. 
For example http URLs used in a file open command are handled by the WebDAV 
UCP. For the CMIS UCP I can think of a schema like 
cmis://<server>/<file-root-node>/[<folder>]/<filename>[<parameters>] or 
something like that. Internally such a URL gets analyzed and mapped on the 
Chemistry library to access files or execute commands on files in a CMIS 
supporting CMS. Results are mapped back and returned via the UCB API.
Such a UCP allows to access files in a CMIS store directly via the office 
internal file dialog or API's where a file URL is expected and it make sense ;-)

You will need to get familiar with CMIS, the Apache Chemistry library and of 
course the office API, especially the UCB and UNO in general.
