It seems we have the NIEM surrounded.

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.

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.

Thanks,

Jim Beard
