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
