## National Information Exchange Model

## NIEM: Leveraging Global JXDM

- Robust, mature framework
- Rich, flexible, and extensible
- Effective governance mechanism
- GXSTF joins government, industry, and practitioners
- Widespread recognition and use
- Substantially installed base
- Especially among state and local agencies
- Multidisciplinary functionality

## Global JXDM Content

## CORE Value Propositions

- Facilitate growth of data model through harmonization of new data components
- Coordinate independent project teams within DOJ and DHS
- Provide effective support and assistance for practitioners
- Facilitate discovery of reusable data components
- Facilitate assembly of exchange packages
- Future work will maintain compatibility with Global JXDM

## CORE = Common

**CORE = Common**

## Data Domain Intersection Density

**Domains**
**Only**

## Core Data Type Example

## Data Domain Architecture

**Data Domain Architecture**

## Institutionalizing Information Sharing

**Institutionalizing Information Sharing**

- Business Information Exchange Reference Model
- Incorporates XML Messaging, Federated Query, and Business Rule Execution to solve business problems

## CORE Pilot Objectives

- NIEM
- Integrate DOJ and DHS data into NIEM
- Implement compatible modularity
- Enhance tools
- Explore governance evolution
- Explore framework evolution
- Collaborative funding by DOJ and DHS

## BTS Pilot Objective

- Point-to-Point Mapping --- n(n-1)

**BTS Pilot Objective**

- Canonical Standard Approach --- 2n

**Canonical****Standard**

**Border and Transportation Security**
**Data Element Dictionary and**
**XML-based Reference Schema**

**Notes:**
Canonical: Reduced to the simplest and most significant form possible without loss of generality. Recognized and accepted as authoritative. (Math.) The simplest or most symmetrical form to which all functions of the same class can be reduced without lose of generality.

## Governance 201

- Previous efforts have focused on “delegative governance”
- XML namespaces to divide up data elements among “owners”
- Ownership does not address overlaps or context
- The GXSTF uses a “participative” approach
- The Core must stay semantically accurate for the entire community
- Domain owners form tiger teams on behalf of the community

## Governance View

## Identifying DOJ Projects

- U.S. Marshals Service
- Justice Detainee Information System (JDIS)
- U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration
- Concorde Program
- Federal Bureau of Investigation
- National Data Exchange (N-DEx)
- Regional Data Exchange (R-DEx)
- Litigation Case Management
- Law Enforcement Information Sharing Program (LEISP)

## Identifying DHS Projects

- Information Analysis and Infrastructure Protection
- HSIN/JRIES
- Border and Transportation Security (BTS) Pilots
- BTS DED
- BTS Net
- Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Pilot

## Information Sharing Use Case (1)

- Markle Report—http://www.markle.org/
- “Creating a Trusted Network for Homeland Security”
- Vignette 3
- Scenario—terrorists planning an attack using rail lines and chlorine gas

## Information Sharing Use Case (2)

- Agency X collects data
- Using the DRM, Agency X creates metadata that **describes **this data in an unambiguous manner

## Information Sharing Use Case (3)

- Agency Y needs data to perform analysis
- Agency Y **discovers** Agency X has the data it needs

## Information Sharing Use Case (4)

- Agency Y and Agency X assemble exchange packages

## Information Sharing Use Case (5)

- Data is **exchanged**

## Information Sharing Use Case (6)

- Data is** associated** in a shared space
