4. Brief History of NIEM

5. NIEM Chartered on April 19, 2005 with DHS/DOJ/HHS executive steering group First Major Version: 1.0, published in 2006 Next Major Version: 2.0, published in 2007 Current Minor Version: 2.1 minor release, published in 2009 2013 - NIEM 3.0 released + NIEM UML profile NIEM turned 7 years old in April – Milestones 5

6. NIEM military domain “will support development of information exchange specifications across the full range of military operations.” • NIEM will be used unless component can show compelling reasons DoD NIEM Adoption DoD Chief Information Officer Teri Takai : Lt. Gen. Mark Bowman, Joint Chiefs of Staff CIO/J6 6

7. FEDERAL AGENCY COMMITMENTS

8. The NIEM Framework NIEM connects communities of people who share a common need to exchange information in order to advance their missions, and provides a foundation for seamless information exchange between federal, state, local, and tribal agencies. Much more than a data model, NIEM offers an active user community as well as a technical and support framework. Community Technical Framework Support Framework Formal Governance Processes Data Model Tools for Development and Discovery Established Training Program Online Repositories XML Design Rules Mission-Oriented Domains Implementation Support Development Methodology Predefined Deliverables (IEPD) Self-Managing Domain Stewards Help Desk & Knowledge Center

9. The NIEM Data Model NIEM’s data model is a set of common, controlled,and approved XML data structures and definitions vetted through the Federal, State, Local, Tribal and Private Sectors. Data elements are organized into core and domain-specific components Core components are used by multiple domains and can be described by structure, semantics, and definition universally NIEM Naming and Design Rules (NDR) specify how each of these components are defined and utilized Domain-specific components are continually updated by subject matter experts that are actual NIEM participants and industry experts for their particular domain

Available from download site direct link: http://sourceforge.net/projects/camprocessor/files + includes spreadsheets and sample models XML XML XML XML XML XML

12. NIEM Past and Present Challenges • Vertical domain vocabulary for DHS and DOJ • One dozen domain dictionaries • Technology limited - built using XSD schema • Core components highly contextual to DHS/DOJ • Object model based – no actual logical models of information! • Gap with semantic technologies integration • Limited data content rules and code lists • Mapping automation support missing • Multi-year development life cycles

13. SOA View - Information Sharing Stack and Rules Privacy and Policy Automation • NIEM: business rules important; not just data Privacy and Policy Automation Rules Identity and Access Management Business Process, Enrichment, Routing Rules Routing / Process Flow Standardized Metadata Identity, Access Control, Classifications Rules Validation Rules Common Vocabulary

14. NIEM is still improving… • Collections of complex XML Schema with verbose components • Embedded context in names • Currently facing significant scaling challenges • Inconsistencies; too much manual management; slow lifecycles • Dictionary technology incubating • Enhanced code lists mechanism incubating • UML profile is evolving initiative with OMG • Attempt to marry modelling techniques and XSD Schema syntax • Policy and Security mechanisms incubating • Need to embrace enabling tools for rapid expansion of domains and community collaboration

15. Oracle and NIEM • The Oracle NIEM team has been working with the DHS/DOJ/HHS NIEM program for three years providing support and tools • The Oracle toolkit for NIEM is the leading toolset for developing NIEM solutions and integrating NIEM with Oracle product solutions • Understanding what NIEM is today and then where the future of NIEM is heading is critical for Oracle customers to see how they can leverage NIEM across their enterprise information exchanges • Oracle thought leadership and tools delivery is pivotal to success of NIEM and Open Data information sharing initiatives • Horizontal collaboration between DoD, DHS, DOJ, FBI, HHS strategically vital

16. Example – Military Applicant Onboarding • Need to examine the applicants health history and particularly prescriptions • 1 in 5 high schoolers today are abusing prescriptions • Drug use leads to at-risk military personnel from in-theatre adverse reactions and post-traumatic stress • Nationally States are looking to share pharmacy records to reduce prescription abuse, pill mills and rogue doctors • 1,000 people die each month from drug abuse in the US • In California 80% of prescriptions are for non-residents • DOJ / BJA PMIX program – Prescription Medication Information eXchange – using NIEM

17. Oracle Tools - Integrated Location Intelligence Location information integrated with BI to allow analysis of incident patterns, geographical hot spots. . Draw line around an area of interest and highlight all cases in area, and drill into details of a specific incidents.

18. NIEM, Open Data and Mobile

19. Oracle Open Data Solution – Open-XDX • Open-XDX is an all new component designed to deliver world class Open Data APIs • Integrates into Oracle Fusion Middleware foundation and Database products • Uses rapid configuration templates and code-less methods and open source NIEM tools • Allows plug-and-play delivery for Oracle customers and applications

20. Example – Chicago Pharmacy Vaccines Search http://www.verifyxml.org Socrata data extract Oracle database FMW Open-XDX Prime Faces Combines: rapid development paradigm; open data approach; open source tools; RESTful web services; community based resources and delivery; NIEM-aligned information feeds; Results Geo-mapping 20

24. Dictionaries: Key Pillar of Information Sharing Components Canonical Dictionary Collections Canonical XML Components Dictionary 1 XML User Inserts Navigation and Query Tools Relationship Lookups Component Associations and Couplings 2 Domains Reuse Library Exchange Templates and Rules 3 Artefact relationships Catalog Template Presentation Automatic Rendering Tools W3C Schema and Model Representations 4 Collaboration Services Components Models Delivery Control, Messaging, Security Deployment Environments and Middleware 5 Testing Workbench, Rules Engine, Data Samples, Integration ETL Implementation Artifacts and Examples 6 XML Schema

25. Available Dictionary Tools • CAM toolkit provides a rich set of tools to create and manage dictionaries • Bottom up harvesting of existing information assets • Top down modelling and engineering • Reuse scoring and comparison reporting • Dictionary aligned with UN/CEFACT CCTS work • Supports concepts and model • Component renamer supports NIEM Naming and Design Rules • Practical solution - supports desktop tools • Support for Excel spreadsheet importing and exporting • Can generate UML models • Works with simple Mindmap rendering • Dictionary Collections • Create collaborative shared sets of dictionaries

26. Value Proposition • Allow business data analysts to focus on information needs and build data exchanges • Aligns information with industry standards and enterprise information stores • Ensures consistent usage and definitions using profile of syntax-neutral terms and constructs • Components can be derived from existing domain schema and data structures • Supports providing sharing and collaboration services • Allows development of supporting analytics tools

27. Public Safety Areas and Scope Seemingly unconnected activity and participants provide key markers to intended criminal or terrorist patterns

28. Example: SAR v2.0 (draft) content model • Cleaner and enhanced data model • Extended capability and flexibility • Improved workflow alignment • Better internationalization support Workflow Enhanced NEW Controls NEW Legend: ? Optional * Repeatable @ attribute # Properties NEW
