Frequently Asked Questions

In 2006, the National Governors Association Center for Best Practices organized a Policy Academy which included five states. A grant of $50,000 to each state was used to fund research to encourage justice information sharing using the Global Justice XML Data Model (GJXDM). States included in the Policy Academy were Connecticut, Iowa, Minnesota, New York, and North Carolina. Pilot projects focused on a variety of information exchanges. This report, drafted by the state of New York, outlines the need to facilitate integrated justice information systems planning and implementation by enhancing the ability to access and share critical criminal justice information electronically at key decision points throughout the criminal justice process.

The State of Connecticut Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) contacted the Connecticut Criminal Justice Information System (CJIS) in 2007 to inquire whether it would be possible to use the CJIS Offender Based Tracking System (OBTS) to look for offenders who hold student transportation endorsements. A manual process was developed and implemented using PL/SQL Developer. Since the first data exchange, CJIS has standardized to NIEM 2.0. The process was defined and working, so CJIS decided to use this exchange as the pilot for NIEM 2.0 and the IEPD process.

In an effort to establish the technology architecture needed across the jurisdictions, the National Capital Region (NCR) created a Data Exchange Hub (DEH) to act as a switching station for providing secure access to communications systems and applications. As a part of this effort, four information exchanges were identified as priorities and documented—NCR Resource Typing, Crisis Incident Management System (CIMS) Data Exchange, Records Management System (RMS) Exchange, and Computer-Aided Dispatch Exchange. These exchanges were developed using the National Information Exchange Model (NIEM), and the resulting Information Exchange Package Documentation (IEPDs) successfully demonstrated the utility of NIEM in the NCR project.

As part of the ongoing efforts being made by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) to integrate NIEM into its enterprise, the Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) list data is being converted to a format that uses NIEM data elements. OFAC’s completion of its NIEM-SDN pilot project has revealed the utility of a scalable, universal exchange format, and the hope is that future exchange relationships with other agencies will consume fewer resources and will be completed in shorter periods of time.
