14. 14 Use of JIEM and GJXDM in the NYS Integrated Justice Portal Original Plan: Analysis of exchanges using the JIEM tool and development of XML schemas based on GJXDM was a central element of New York’s strategy of effective integration of criminal justice information systems Original Plan: Analysis of exchanges using the JIEM tool and development of XML schemas based on GJXDM was a central element of New York’s strategy of effective integration of criminal justice information systems

15. 15 GJXDM has converged with the National Information Exchange Model (NIEM), with GJXDM becoming the justice domain of NIEM Version 4.0 of the GJXDM will be released concurrently with the release of version 1.1 of NIEM in the early second quarter of 2007 GJXDM 3.1 was not released as scheduled

16. 16 Obtain clarification and understanding of NIEM changes Clearly identify project implications

17. 17 NYS makes a strategic decision to adopt NIEM Adopt NIEM 1.0 for the development and implementation of eJustice: Integrated Justice Portal exchanges. Extend this version to incorporate all extensions that are required to meet the NYS business needs. This extended model becomes the NYS canonical model.

18. 18 The Role of JIEM So much information to exchange in our new Integrated Justice Portal JIEM is where you start!

19. 19 The Role of JIEM Assists criminal justice organizations with their integrated justice information systems planning and implementation A tool to collect requirements from users A business analysis tool not a system development tool Assists criminal justice organizations with their integrated justice information systems planning and implementation A tool to collect requirements from users A business analysis tool not a system development tool

20. 20 “As Is” and “To-be” capability enables documentation of the information exchange as it currently exists and a blueprint for improved information sharing in the future

21. 21 The Role of JIEM Baseline JIEM Database established for NYS Criminal Justice Agencies as part of NYS Integrated Justice efforts The New York State JIEM Databases consists of over 1800 exchanges in different stages of development Baseline JIEM Database established for NYS Criminal Justice Agencies as part of NYS Integrated Justice efforts The New York State JIEM Databases consists of over 1800 exchanges in different stages of development

22. 22 The Role of JIEM JIEM was used to document information exchanges between DCJS and law enforcement agencies for Wanted, Missing, and Unidentified Persons NIEM exchanges This was an important first step in the development of our first Information Exchange Package Documentations (IEPDs) JIEM was used to document information exchanges between DCJS and law enforcement agencies for Wanted, Missing, and Unidentified Persons NIEM exchanges This was an important first step in the development of our first Information Exchange Package Documentations (IEPDs)

23. 23 The Role of JIEM Over 100 NIEM-Compliant IEPDS have been developed thus far for our Integrated Justice Portal, 49 of which have been posted to the Clearinghouse for use by other criminal justice organizations All began with JIEM! Over 100 NIEM-Compliant IEPDS have been developed thus far for our Integrated Justice Portal, 49 of which have been posted to the Clearinghouse for use by other criminal justice organizations All began with JIEM!

24. 24 Use of JIEM in NYS XML Standard Practices is identified as a critical starting point for integrated justice planning and implementation

25. 25 Lessons Learned

26. 26 Training is essential - training provided to SMEs, system analysts and developers and even consultants!

27. 27 Use of JIEM facilitates the ability of the business to drive the technology, not the technology to drive the business

28. 28 Important to Understand the “fit” between JIEM and NIEM/GJXDM

29. 29 Anticipated Benefits Of Using JIEM and NIEM Improved integration Access to more criminal justice applications and functionality Build on the “One-Stop Shopping” concept State WebServices available to localities All resulting in improved public safety!
