  1. Global Justice XML Data Model Users Conference June 10, 2005 James Feagans, DOJ and Michael Daconta, DHS

  2. The Exchange Problem • XML exchanges are easy … too easy. • SOA emergence will increase the # of XML exchanges. • Without a framework for reuse, we will create XML Stovepipes. • NIEM is striving towards National information sharing • Extending “grass roots” “bottom-up” approach by Global Justice Community • Synergy with the Federal Enterprise Architecture Data Reference Model (Federal framework supporting a national approach)

  3. NIEM Program Vision Practitioners at all levels of government share accurate, complete, timely and appropriately secured information to enable informed decision-making to ensure homeland security and public safety.

  4. NIEM Program Goals • Overcome obstacles to information sharing between all forms of government • Improve Shared situational awareness and collaboration • Leverage technology/lessons learned/success • To improve internal processes • To improve external sharing and productivity • Support National information sharing programs • Implementation of National FEA Data Reference Model • Operational efficiency and effectiveness • Timely Detection, Prevention, and Response to Public Safety, Terrorism, Criminal Activity and other Emergencies

  5. NIEM Program Goal Drivers • From all Levels of Government, NIEM Leverages Re-Use of: • - Existing Standards • - Technology • - Existing Infrastructure • - Knowledge/Experience • - Organizational Interactions and Personal Relations (Culture) • (Established environment to capitalize on existing IT investments from all levels of National government) • NIEM Driver = COLLABORATION

  6. NIEM Program Principles TriggerEvent Organization A Message Organization B ResultingEvent • Trigger Event Begins with Real People • Built off existing infrastructure • Information exchange occurs at key decision points in the process • Technical solutions driven by functional requirements • Appropriate Security & Privacy Protections • Resulting event effects Real People

  8. What Makes a Core Component? • The scope of data for inclusion into the NIEM will cover multiple business domains • Initial NIEM domain examples: • Law Enforcement • Emergency Management • Intelligence • Border Security • Courts • Probation • Parole • Corrections • Public Health • Fire • EMS • Emergency Management • Disaster Management

  13. NIEM: Current Status (1) • Approved by the DOJ/DHS CIO’s February 2005 • DHS/DOJ Announced on February 28th, 2005 • DOJ/DHS CIO Memorandum of Agreement • Key points: • Rename GJDXM to signify broader scope • Add DHS/DOJ Content • Rework Model and Tools (support modularity) • Status: Signed • Regular National NIEM PMO Meetings • Identified Pilot Projects: • ATFE, DEA, FBI, USMS • HSARPA BTS Net, ICE • DHS State and Local Government Coordination and Preparedness Office (SLGCP) Innovative Technology Evaluation Pilots (ITEP) are participating. • Future Expansion of IC Involvement: • Intelligence Community Metadata Working Group (ICMWG) Partnership

  14. Current Status (2) • NIEM Public Information Website New Content • Cloned GJXDM, supporting tools and development web site. • Pilot Progress: • Completed Workshop on DHS HSARPA BTS Pilot April 11-13 Phoenix, AZ • Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) mapping Enterprise Logical Data Model to NIEM. Fully participating in the effort. • Discussions with IAIP and FEMA • National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Partnership

  15.

  21. NIEM: Next Steps • Creating standard format for Component Mapping Template. • Project Tiger team (consisting of all pilot projects) was formed to develop and test component mapping template. • Product will be posted to the NIEM web site. • Create NIEM National Collaboration Tiger Teams (Development via Unified Consensus Building) • Project Tiger teams (consisting of all levels of government) formed to develop: • Interim and National Governance with Collaboration Tool Suite • CORE Components/Naming & Design Rules (NDR) • NIEM CONOPS DRAFT released for NIEM Committee Review.

  22. Component Mapping Template

  23. National Collaboration Success NIEM Development is Built on a Unified National Approach with “Joint Consensus” • NIEM PMO Comprised of National Representation • NIEM Facilitates Early Adopter Participation • NIEM Promotes “Participative approach vs Delegative approach” - National Joint Development - National Governance • Success = Subject Matter Experts (Business Driven) • Executing Collaboration at an “UNPRECIDENTED” National Level
