3. Global Justice XML Data Model (GJXDM) GJXDM Developers’ Workshop www.it.ojp.gov BAJ Bureau of Justice Assistance 3 GJXDM Purpose To provide a consistent, extensible, maintainable XML Schema reference specification for data elements and types that represent the data requirements of the general justice and public safety communities Long-term goal—to provide a baseline model for the data dictionary that can be represented in advanced technologies beyond XML Schema

4. Global Justice XML Data Model (GJXDM) GJXDM Developers’ Workshop www.it.ojp.gov BAJ Bureau of Justice Assistance 4 GJXDM Vision To significantly advance justice information sharing by providing a common language and vocabulary that reduces cost and technical barriers

5. Global Justice XML Data Model (GJXDM) GJXDM Developers’ Workshop www.it.ojp.gov BAJ Bureau of Justice Assistance 5 Development of GJXDM Sponsored by the Global Advisory Committee Participants from all levels—local, state, and federal Participants across the justice domain Funded by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) Office of Justice Programs (OJP) Developed primarily by the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) GXSTF provides guidance, review, and issue resolution for practitioners and industry

6. Global Justice XML Data Model (GJXDM) GJXDM Developers’ Workshop www.it.ojp.gov BAJ Bureau of Justice Assistance 6 Business Case for Justice Information Sharing Criminal activity is not just a local issue because criminals can move faster than the information about them Justice system officials often do not have the information they need to make informed decisions in time to make a difference Consequently, we cannot apply the proper level of jurisprudence and concern to individual incidents

7. Global Justice XML Data Model (GJXDM) GJXDM Developers’ Workshop www.it.ojp.gov BAJ Bureau of Justice Assistance 7 Justice XML Initiative Objectives Justice information sharing—providing complete, accurate, and timely information to justice system decision makers, when, where, and how they need it Cost-effective vs. unique and expensive Reusable vs. stovepipe Common terms—universal dictionary Flexible content—images, summary offender profile, location data, status, etc.

14. Global Justice XML Data Model (GJXDM) GJXDM Developers’ Workshop www.it.ojp.gov BAJ Bureau of Justice Assistance 14 GJXDM, Version 3.0, Advantages Standards-based—adopts several XML and data standards Model-based—generates consistent XML schema Requirements-based—built from existing data models, dictionaries, processes, and document specifications Object-oriented—efficient extension and reuse (inheritance) Extendable—enables local additions of data components Expanded domain—includes courts, corrections, juvenile, etc. Provided relationships for rich exchange information context Built to evolve/advance with emerging technologies (e.g., RDF)

15. Global Justice XML Data Model (GJXDM) GJXDM Developers’ Workshop www.it.ojp.gov BAJ Bureau of Justice Assistance 15 GJXDM Design Criteria Design a common set of reusable, extendible XML data components for a GJXDD that facilitates standard information exchange Over-inclusive and optional Requirements, solutions, and time constraints from rational compromises Use International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 11179—Specification and Standardization of Data Elements and other applicable standards

16. Global Justice XML Data Model (GJXDM) GJXDM Developers’ Workshop www.it.ojp.gov BAJ Bureau of Justice Assistance 16 GJXDM Design Criteria (continued) GJXDD will evolve—facilitate change and extension Extension methods should minimize impact on prior schema and code investments Implement and represent domain relationships so they are globally understood Develop reference architecture and namespaces for a standard Justice XML DD Schema (JXDDS) specification Use object-oriented data model, named types, extensions

19. Global Justice XML Data Model (GJXDM) GJXDM Developers’ Workshop www.it.ojp.gov BAJ Bureau of Justice Assistance 19 Assumptions Reusable, extensible data components to facilitate standard information exchange in XML within justice, the courts, public safety, and homeland security Generalize for the community at large—NOT specific document instances Provide referenceable schema components for schema developers JXDDS will evolve, change, and require extensions—best extension method will minimize impact on prior investments Must represent and implement domain relationships No silver bullets—time, technical, and requirement constraints mandate rational trade-offs

22. Global Justice XML Data Model (GJXDM) GJXDM Developers’ Workshop www.it.ojp.gov BAJ Bureau of Justice Assistance 22 Potential Barriers Not everyone will share the vision The GJXDM is a big compromise—everyone will find one or more things they do not like about it Different from what many people are used to Appears big and complex Lack of training and understanding can lead to overwhelming confusion Often seems more difficult than what you would come up with on your own to implement a particular exchange

23. Global Justice XML Data Model (GJXDM) GJXDM Developers’ Workshop www.it.ojp.gov BAJ Bureau of Justice Assistance 23 Potential Barriers (continued) Few information exchange schemas exist today GJXDM-specific tools are in their infancy GJXDM learning curve may be inconsistent with project timeline and cost Developers want to do what they want to do They may not want to use the GJXDM They may think the GJXDM is unusable Management guidance is important
