What is NIEM?
 National Information Exchange Model
 NIEM was launched on February 28, 2005, through a partnership
agreement between the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and the U.S.
Department of Homeland Security (DHS)
 Events of September 11 and Hurricane Katrina identified need for more
information sharing
 Builds on the success of the Global Justice XML Data Model (GJXDM)
to include domains other than Justice and Public Safety
 Designed to develop, disseminate and support enterprise-wide
information exchange standards and processes
 Enable jurisdictions to share critical information
What is NIEM cont’d
 A data dictionary and reference model in the form of an XML Schema
 A framework that can be adapted/extended by local, state, tribal, and
federal jurisdictions to support information sharing
 A Common Vocabulary providing agreed-upon terms, definitions,
and formats - independent of the way information is stored in
individual agency systems
 A Structured Approach to developing the reference documentation
that expresses NIEM information exchange requirements in an
implementation ready format – the Information Exchange Package
Documentation (IEPD) development process

What is the Texas Path to NIEM?
 A joint project between DPS, OCA, TDCJ and TIJIS to

justice, homeland security, and other disciplines in
Texas
 A project to bring immediate value to Texas justice
agencies via the following deliverables
 Rewrite of the “TJI3” Plan to the “Texas Justice Information Exchange
Strategic plan”
 Gap analysis current exchanges within the Texas justice community
 Developing IEPD’s and a data reference model of selected exchanges

Path to NIEM (IEPD Management)
cont-d
 Must use TortoiseSVN or similar subversion client
to access IEPDs on state repository
 Instructions to access IEPDs and IEPD
documentation to be placed on website:
