Explores the development and utilization of the Justice Reference Architecture (JRA) to enhance information sharing in justice systems globally. Discusses current progress, resource availability, and adoption by states like Pennsylvania, Maine, and Utah. Future steps include developing reference services for fusion centers and aligning with federal initiatives. Suggests adoption of JRA as the preferred framework.

Achieving Information Interoperability:The Justice Reference ArchitectureA Global Project Tom Clarke, GISWG Chair October 31, 2007
Global Service-Oriented Architecture On September 29, 2004, the Global Justice Information Sharing Initiative (Global) Advisory Committee (GAC) unanimously adopted Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) and the resulting work effort was tasked to the GISWG.
Two Business Cases for the Justice Reference Architecture (JRA) Business Case #1: To enable state and local agencies to develop information sharing solutions faster, cheaper, and better. Business Case #2: To create standard information sharing services to improve interoperability and business flexibility.
Where are we now? • The JRA library is evolving and will contain resources, such as tools, guidelines, standards, and specifications. • The Justice Reference Architecture Specification Working Draft version 1.4 • Web Services Service Interaction Profile version 1.1 • ebXML Service Interaction Profile version 1.0
What resources are underway? • GISWG is… • Providing guidance for technical implementations • Providing guidance on service design and beginning work on reference services • Providing guidance on services governance • Draft MOU for information sharing
Who is using the JRA? • Pennsylvania • JNET is using in a pilot mode for electronic jail reporting • Commonwealth Law Enforcement Assistance Network (CLEAN) is making the JRA a RFP requirement • Maine • Using the JRA to design its information sharing architecture • Utah • Evaluating use of the framework
Next Steps • BJA has tasked IJIS and NCSC to begin work on a set of reference JRA services. • The prioritized reference services are for fusion centers and fingerprints. • GISWG is aligning and mapping to federal initiatives: • ISE • LEISP • Fusion centers
Recommendation • The GISWG recommends that the GAC adopt the JRA as the justice specific framework for Service-Oriented Architecture • Based on the Global JRA Specification version 1.4 and two Service Interaction Profiles
