Components of NIEM Joint DOJ / DHS / HHS program created to promote standardization of information exchange for cross jurisdictional information sharing. Provides the tools for enabling interoperability at the data layer within and across systems supporting information sharing, while preserving investments in current technology and optimizing new technology development.

Oracle Draft Materials – Limited Circulation Formal NIEM IEPD Packaging Details IEPD ArtefactDescription Exchange Files Subset Schema (SSGT) Subset of the full NIEM schema—a compressed directory of schemas to distinguish from other schema sets. Wantlist User requirements -distinguishes user-required data components from components they depend on for conformance. Generated by and up-loaded to the Schema Subset Generation Tool (SSGT). This is an open specification and the SSGT is not required to create a wantlist, though it is easier. Exchange Schema Base document schema that defines the XML root element and is generally named after the IEPD itself. Also known as the document schema, reference schema, or root schema. Constraint Schema Constraints for separate constraint validation path—a compressed directory of schemas to distinguish from other schema sets. Extension Schema Specification for extended components—separate local name-spaces of components not contained in NIEM. Sample XML Instance Example instance(s) – may reference optional stylesheet. Stylesheet (generic) Example stylesheet for display of instance(s). Documentation Master Documentation The Master Document is the main document for which all of the context and details around the exchange are explained. This document includes, the overview, as well as details surrounding the exchange, business drivers and requirements Exchange model XMI Exchange model in standard open format (xmi, vsd, zargo) and standard open graphic (jpg, pdf, etc.) preferably a Unified Modeling Language (UML) model. Business Rules Business rules in one of the following formats: (1) plain or structured English, (2) written into master documentation, (3) Schematron or other formal business rule language, or (4) generated by a development tool. Mapping to NIEM Mapping of domain components, tagged with constraints (i.e., cardinality, etc.) to NIEM components; preferably the Component Mapping Tool (CMT). Extended Components Components created because they were not in NIEM—may be part of mapping spreadsheet and include structure and definitions of new components. Prefer CMT. Change log Record of cumulative changes from previous IEPD versions. The initial IEPD simple records its creation date. Catalog Catalog XML file A machine-readable list of artifacts in the IEPD in an open, portable and browser-displayable format (simple manual edit). Metadata XML file All metadata of owner and domain to be registered with the IEPD (simple manual edit). Generated using CAM Never Used Word Document Manual Entry D
