The right candidate will also be well-versed in justice information systems, and have a strong working knowledge of the GJXDM… “Data Model work includes all activity necessary to get the Wisconsin JXDM to an initial completion state, and then to maintain it over time. It also includes creation, publication, and revision of additional materials (such as auxiliary protocols, component models, and reference implementations) to assist any party that wants to use the Wisconsin JXDM. “
