FBI and XML/NIEM • FBI has increased participation in the Global XML Structure Task Force & the NIEM Business Architecture Committee • FBI has invited Nlets staff to participate in its XML Schema reviews • FBI has been charged by its users to develop a Message Versioning Policy to define how future versions of NIEM/GJXDM will be implemented
Webservices • Nlets and the FBI are holding joint meetings on the further development of webservice specifications for state/customer implementations • Nlets has been offering Webservices • FBI is developing Webservices Pilots for limited existing services • Potentially piloting with Nlets • Working together to ensure a common approach
Joint task force on Rapsheet standardization • Nlets CHIEF Project (BJS Funded) • Develop strategies and tools to transform between GJXDM and NIEM • Combine forces with FBI - Joint Task Force in the development of a Next Generation Rap Sheet with additional content and presentation formatting • Develop Service Oriented Architectural frameworks in the pilot states • Provide comprehensive statistics to support crime prevention and recidivism efforts • Document “Lessons Learned “and recommend extensions and/or revisions to the NIEM
Collaborating on 2007 ANSI-NIST biometric specification in XML • FBI has facilitated an effort to develop an XML version of the 2007 ANSI-NIST Fingerprint Standard • Based upon NIEM Harmony 2.0 • About 30 Representatives from Industry, Government, and Nlets participated in an XML Workgroup • IEPD Publication expected in early 2008 • Will be a important cornerstone for the development of the FBI’s Next Generation Identification (NGI) Project
The Bottom line… • The GAC has played an important role in bringing the FBI and Nlets together to implement and pioneer the use of GAC national standards • Collaboration, communication, implementation for a common goal
