PROPRIETARY Copyright  Crossflo Systems, Inc. All Rights Reserved Methodology for Building a GJXDM Schema  Identify the domain objects and their elements using the GJXDM XML Tags FieldInterview\Incident\IncidentSubject\PersonName\ PersonFullName Complete Name of the Primary Subject being Interviewed FieldInterview\Incident\IncidentSubject\PersonName\ PersonGivenName First Name of the Primary Subject being Interviewed FieldInterview\Incident\IncidentSubject\PersonName\ PersonSurName Last Name of the Primary Subject being Interviewed FieldInterview\Incident\IncidentSubject\PersonName\ PersonMiddleName Middle Name of the Primary Subject being Interviewed FieldInterview\Incident\IncidentSubject\PersonName\ PersonSuffixName Suffix added to the Name of the Primary Subject being Interviewed, such as Jr. III, etc.

PROPRIETARY Copyright  Crossflo Systems, Inc. All Rights Reserved Lessons Learned  Rely on a reusable Methodology  Make the reference document schema all inclusive  Stay within the GJXDM vocabulary (no extensions)  Stay within the GJXDM grammar (hierarchy)  Keep the schema application neutral

PROPRIETARY Copyright  Crossflo Systems, Inc. All Rights Reserved Lessons Learned  Use a publish/subscribe model, not point-to-point  Include text and code type elements for the same information  Consider data transformation  Attempt to reuse “core component” packets from one reference schema to another

PROPRIETARY Copyright  Crossflo Systems, Inc. All Rights Reserved Critical Success Factors  Availability of a leader in GJXDM  Start off with a simple document or exchange  Keeping within the GJXDM model  One schema for all agencies (standard reference document publication)  Use a building block or component approach to data integration  User and practitioner participation is critical  95% Sharing Rule (walk before you can run)
