Los Angeles County Sheriff • Level of effort to incorporate the N-DEx XSD to participate in testing. • Mapped to N-DEx XSD • Successfully submitted data for validation • Over 1040 man hours committed to N-DEx • Current near real-time submissions via CJIS WAN
Los Angeles County Sheriff • Started contribution to N-DEx March 2005 • Started by mapping LARCIS data element to N-DEx schema • Mapped LARCIS data to N-DEx schema version 1.0.4 (about 300 elements) • Built processes to extract, transform and submit LARCIS data to N-DEx. • Successfully submitted approx. 40,000 SOAP* messages (about a month of incident data) to FBI SOAP server) • *Simple Object Access Protocol (see www.xml.org)
Los Angeles County Sheriff • Cost? • Used an old development server = $0 • Red Hat Linux, Oracle BPEL = $40,700 • One consultant = $72,800 = $113,500
Los Angeles County Sheriff • WHY? • N-DEx Bundle Ver1.0.4 has about 300 elements • LARCIS has 130 tables and over 3,000 elements • Finding the right data element to map difficult • Designed a database just for that purpose • Load all the table columns into the database • Mark the column that has no value (reduces count) • Further reduce data elements by ranking the data relevance • Map remaining LARCIS to N-DEx (reasonable time) • Generate the mapping reports from the database
Los Angeles County Sheriff • RECOMMENDATIONS • Need a development tool • Supports the creation of mapping • Convert to XML document • Web services (SOAP) • Eases the learning curve • Allows for a faster adoption • We used Oracle BPEL Desinger and Process Manager
Los Angeles County Sheriff • RECOMMENDATIONS (cont.) • Dedicated Staff • Knowledge of GJXDM • Starting out mapping with few elements, then build the process to produce the XML document (can be sent via email) • FBI feedback • Repeat the process until you have the complete mapping
