Cmdbuild
open source CMDB
CMDBuild is an open source web enterprise environment to configure custom applications for asset management.
Usage
CMDBuild is a suite for the asset management. It is composed of:
CMDBuild, a low code platform for the configuration of asset management applications;
CMDBuild READY2USE, a solution for the IT Asset & Service Management, ITIL compliant;
openMAINT, a solution for the Property and Facility Management and Maintenance Processes, lets you manage database of assets, like business resources, equipment leased to customers, technological infrastructure and systems.
Notes and references
CMDBuild is an enterprise system: server-side Java, web Ajax GUI, SOA architecture (Service Oriented Architecture), based on webservice and implemented by using the best open source technologies and following the sector standards.
CMDBuild provides native mechanisms for the administrator and generates dynamically a web interface for the operators.
It allows to:
model the database (add new classes of items, new attributes and new relations, define filters, "views" and access permissions limited to rows and columns of every class);
design workflows;
design reports;
configure dashboards;
implement interoperability solutions with external applications and systems;
schedule various operations (process starts, e-mail receiving and sending, connector executions), send notifications, start workflows and execute scripts;
manage documents using the CMIS standard;
schedule single or recurring deadlines;
use GIS features to georeference and display assets on a geographical map;
use BIM features to view 3D models (IFC format)
The system includes a REST webservice, so that CMDBuild users can implement custom interoperability solutions with external systems.
Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Cmdbuild” is open source CMDB. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Cmdbuild, source and CMDB, not as a finished interpretation.
Why this record matters
The phrase “open source CMDB” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 12, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q15931408. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
