Next Steps for Using NIEM

• Choose to make NIEM the basis for information exchanges

• Adopt a service oriented architecture for your information systems

• Arrange for training for your developers

• Identify key exchanges with other organizations & jurisdictions

• Use NIEM tools to develop exchange documentation

• Design and implement the exchanges using web services

DOJ Segment Architectures

15

As-Is DOJ Information Sharing Segment Architecture (ISSA)

• Rooted in DOJ Mission

• Assimilating Input / Guidance from DOJ Partners / Oversight– OMB / GAO / DOJ OIG– PM-ISE– DHS OCIO & OCIO– Legal, Security, Privacy– Global (NIEM & JRA), CJIS APB

• Covers the entire architectural stack– Stronger in Business & Data, weaker in Performance & Technology

• Descriptive & Informative– Meaningful both internally and externally

16

To-Be DOJ ISSA

• Focus on Specific Business Scenarios

• Complete (Make Prescriptive) Information Sharing Architecture– Develop an exchange inventory (As Is and To Be)– Expand on policies and strategies

• Internal (i.e., LEISP and OneDOJ)• External (i.e., National Information Sharing Strategy)

• Add Details on Reconciliation of External Guidance

• Develop Information Sharing Strategies for each Mission Segment– Leverage NIEM based federated query & link analysis for LE info sharing– Use NIEM as the model for defining exchange data elements– Develop reusable data elements and exchanges (IEPDs)

17

Target Information Sharing Scenario Categories

1. CTISS/Fusion Center Interoperability (e.g. FBI FIG and JTTF) – Types of exchanges: Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs), Watch List, alerts and

warnings– Supporting functions: Validating/processing SARs, link analysis, search

2. Law Enforcement Information Sharing Across LSTF Partners and Internally– OneDOJ/LEISP – R-DEx, N-DEx– CJIS/NLETS – NCIC, NICS, IAFIS/NGI, State CJIS– Cross-Federal LE Information Sharing– LE Wireless Access / SBU Mobility

3. Process Automation around the Justice Lifecycle– Identify Lead > Investigate Person/Organization > Arrest or Referral > Prosecute >

Disposition/Fine, Incarceration > Release, Parole

4. Tactical Situation Assessment and Response

5. Intel information analysis and sharing with Federal and LST agencies
