Subject: California Data Exchange Standards
Invitation to Comment
The Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) has
published for public comment a set of proposed specifications for exchanging
data electronically with the California trial courts. The Technical Standards
for Data Exchange project developed specifications for seven high-value
exchanges between the court and justice partners. Please see http://aocweb.jud.ca.gov/invitationstocomment/aproposals.htm to review and comment on the specifications. The deadline for commenting on the specifications
is February 28, 2005
These exchanges are an initial part of the effort
to develop a comprehensive set of specifications, initially focusing on
criminal case exchanges. They include the following:
- Arrest and Bench Warrants-issuance of arrest
and bench warrants by the court.
- Traffic Citations-receipt of citation data
into the court from law enforcement, using the CHP citation as a starting
point.
- Court Calendar-publishing adult criminal and
traffic court calendar data to justice partners and the public.
- Criminal Complaint-filing of a criminal
complaint from the district attorney to the court.
- Judgment and Sentence Order-provision of
court judgment and sentence information to local justice partners.
- Register of Actions-publishing adult
criminal and traffic court registers of action (case event history) data
for public and justice partner access.
- Domestic Violence Restraining Order and
Criminal Protective Order-an exchange that represents events that could
occur in either civil (restraining) or criminal (protective) case types.
Six of the seven specifications went out for
public comment in early 2004. Since that time, the exchanges have been updated
and brought into conformance with the most recent major release of GJXDM, an
XML standard developed through the federal Office of Justice Programs and
gaining widespread acceptance by justice partners at the federal, state, and
local levels. The traffic citation exchange specification was modified to
include citation amendments, photo red light, and elements used in the CHP
Automated Citation Device pilot project. The criminal complaint exchange
specification was revised so it can be used for information filings and
amended complaints. The set was also expanded to include specifications for
exchanging Domestic Violence Restraining Order and Criminal Protective Order
information.
The Data Exchange Standards Working Group,
appointed by the Judicial Council's Court Executives Advisory Committee, has
carefully reviewed the data exchange specifications to ensure that they meet
court business needs. This group consists of court staff from the Superior
Courts of Alameda, Contra Costa, Fresno, Los Angeles, Marin, Orange,
Sacramento, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, San Bernardino, San Diego, and
Ventura Counties.
These specifications will be used as the basis
for developing information exchanges between the courts and justice partners
when transitioning to the California Case Management System and utilizing the
Integrated Services Backbone.
