Adoption of GJXDM for the JIN Scott Came Director of Systems and Technology SEARCH December 19, 2006
Agenda • Level-set on GJXDM (what, why, who, when) • Exchanges, IEPDs, and GJXDM Conformance • Conformance as a policy question: the JIN Board’s Assignment to the TAG
GJXDM: What is it? • Global Justice XML Data Model • XML Vocabulary for the public safety / criminal justice community • Implemented as a set of reference XML schemas used to construct exchange XML schemas • Supported by tools, training, assistance from DOJ partners
GJXDM from 50,000 feet Places People Person Location Organization Events Activity Things Incident Case Property Vehicle Weapon Arrest Charge Contact Info
GJXDM: Why? • Semantic interoperability • Common ground • Decouple systems and business processes • Accommodate new partners • Accommodate new requirements • Accommodate new technologies/systems • Leverage national resources rather than reinventing • Position yourself for funding sources and benefit from national initiatives
GJXDM Governance • Global Justice Information Sharing Initiative • Global XML Structure Task Force • GJXDM Training and Technical Assistance Committee • Other Global working groups
GJXDM: Who is using it? • For statewide integration: • Washington • Wisconsin • Pennsylvania • California • New York • Ohio • Iowa • Georgia • Missouri • Massachusetts • Illinois • Colorado …and others
GJXDM: How do you use it? • Don’t use the full GJXDM in any given exchange • Exchange information is defined by an Information Exchange Package Document (IEPD) • In some cases, you don’t need to build the IEPD from scratch
Conformance • Exchanges conform to GJXDM, not systems, projects, or agencies • GJXDM conformance really means creating conformant IEPDs
Conformant IEPDs • A conformant IEPD: • Uses GJXDM constructs where the semantics fit • Does not use GJXDM where the semantics do not fit • Reuses full structures, not just elements • Follows W3C XML Schema rules
Candidate Policy • All information exchanges will be specified and defined by GJXDM-conformant IEPDs.
