Boy Len, you really like to open those cans labeled "worms." The short answer is that if people will follow the recommendations, there is recommended RFP language which tells writers how to reference the GJXDM work. That said, most still think that "GJXDM Compliance" is just a checkbox that a purchasing agent can check off. We rely on outreach and especially the vendors to educate the community on how to ask for an XML "standard" (GJXDM, CAP, EDXL, etc.) in an RFP. Mike and I are working quite closely together on the NIEM. Eventually we see the Criminal Justice and Public Safety space being just another component of NIEM.
Hope this answers the questions.

Thanks, Paul. That's helpful.
The CAD work we are familiar with and have products (InterCAD) to address.
What will be most useful will be references to the IEPs and some SWAG as to
completion. Can I assume that a URI reference to the online documentation
will eventually be cited in the RFPs?
Are these separate efforts under the NIEMs umbrella to ensure convergence?
Is the NIEM Component Mapping process being applied?

Many of these are already being worked on. If any of you would like
contacts in a specific area, let me know. Here is how the responsibilities
have been broken out:
Law Enforcement - SEARCH
Courts - National Center for State Courts
Prosecutor - IJIS Institute
Corrections - Corrections Technology Association/National Law Enforcement
and Corrections Technology Center
CAD - beginning work with NENA & APCO
Fire - TBD
There is a lot of overlap between all the different disciplines, so in many
instances there is strong collaboration. I'll make sure that the list you
put together gets to the right people. If it is of value to the group, I
can post the IEP's that are in process.

It will be helpful if these are broken out in accordance with
the divisions in the public safety justice systems, for example,
police records to court records to corrections records. By
slicing along the organizational lines, the relationships of the
modules and subsets to the operational aspects of the justice
agencies are clearer, and therefore, easily related to the breakout
in an RFP.
For example, (and very high level), a court system may want to
exchange
IEPs related to:
o Case status updates
o Name information (including related names such as family,
contacts,
aliases, etc.)
and mugshots/fingerprints (demographic data plus binary
attachments)
o Custody status
o Disposition information (usually sent to State and local
warehouses)
o Exchange events, sentencing, and disposition to courts.
o Contacts (eg, officers, prosecutors, defenders, judges, court and
corrections officials,
probation and parole) since arrest
o Sentencing data
That's a very basic list and well-within the boundaries of what
court
systems share today. If the modules are related to IEPs and IEPs
are
exchanged in accordance with the business rules of the local and
state
agencies, the business rules might be set at the web service and
these
are the message payloads extracted from the GJXDM as IEPs.
While I know there is no playlist yet, a playlist that can be
factored
to the RFPs would be that set of IEPs corresponding to the basic
exchanges
that the agencies need immediately. Would you envision the vendor
working these out with the agency, or the agencies working these out
and then requiring them of the vendor, or some mixture? Note that
it
is the high amount of local customization for each state and agency
that keeps costs high given implementations even over customizable
systems. So, (obviously) convincing States to convince Agencies to
share IEPs (particularly statute codelists) has big payoffs.

At this time there are no vertical
slices planned but we are open to suggestions. We are still working
on
the NIEM CONOPS and will look forward to this group's feedback when
we
it is released (our internal vetting on this ends at the end of the
month).
As for RFPs, I suspect agencies will write into the language a
requirement to support a specific version of NIEM (possibly
subsetting
to specific modules but maybe not as this would require some
technical
knowledge) that is applicable to their line of business.
