Subject: RE: [legalxml-courtfiling] NIEM - National Information Exchange Model
Jim, NIEM was born when the Department of Justice (DOJ) convinced the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) earlier this year to adopt the GJXDM as its data model. DOJ and DHS renamed it NIEM because they intend to include a much broader group of organizations than just the justice community. The GJXDM and its governance processes do represent the initial iteration of NIEM, but the NIEM Program Office is hard at work on its own governance process and concept of operations. At some point in the next year or so, it will grow beyond the original GJXDM content and become a separate entity. Whether or not the two remain in complete consistency will be largely up to those of us in the justice community. There are two Global representatives right now on the NIEM PMO Steering Committee. One of those is me. Someone from the National Center for State Courts, either Scott Fairholm or myself, will also be on the newly formed NIEM Governance Tiger Team. I try to keep in close and frequent contact with the two leaders of NIEM, Jim Feagans of DOJ and Mike Daconta of DHS. We do need to pay attention to NIEM. If nothing else, it will introduce a much more rigorous governance structure and add some pressure for a more complete architecture. It will also concentrate on what elements of the data model cross different domains and work on their consistency. It probably has enough momentum to dominate our original GJXDM work, although they are trying to be as inclusive as any federal effort can be. At this point, having our specification be consistent with the GJXDM also makes it consistent with NIEM. Hope this helps. -----Original Message----- From: Jim Beard [mailto:beard@counterclaim.com] Sent: Tuesday, July 05, 2005 7:07 PM To: 'Electronic Court Filing Technical Committeee' Subject: [legalxml-courtfiling] NIEM - National Information Exchange Model Howdy Folks, I wasn't able to attend the GJXDM Conference in February, and happened to recently run into information about the National Information Exchange Model (www.niem.gov). NIEM is intended to be a 'National extension of the Global JXDM" (I found it a little odd that there was a national extension of a global concept, but hey..). Anyway, I was curious as to what the members of this list think about NIEM. Does it effect the work we are doing now? If so how? Will NIEM oversee future changes to GJXDM? Should we be working with NIEM members, or should they be listening to what we are doing? Maybe this is already going on and I am simply unaware of it? I was surprised that I hadn't seen this topic mentioned on the list yet. Any comments or thoughts are welcome.
