DoD NIEM Adoption

NIEM military domain “will support development of information exchange specifications across the full range of military operations.”

NIEM will be used unless component can show compelling reasons

The NIEM FrameworkNIEM connects communities of people who share a common need to exchange information in order to advance their missions, and provides a foundation for seamless information exchange between federal, state, local, and tribal agencies. Much more than a data model, NIEM offers an active user community as well as a technical and support framework.

The NIEM Data Model

NIEM’s data model is a set of common, controlled, and approved XML data structures and definitions vetted through the Federal, State, Local, Tribal and Private Sectors.

Data elements are organized into core and domain-specific components

Core components are used by multiple domains and can be described by structure, semantics, and

definition universally

Domain-specific components are continually

updated by subject matter experts that are actual NIEM

participants and industry experts for their particular

domain

NIEM Naming and Design Rules (NDR)

specify how each of these components are defined

and utilized

NIEM Past and Present Challenges Vertical domain vocabulary for DHS and DOJ

One dozen domain dictionaries

Technology limited - built using XSD schema

Core components highly contextual to DHS/DOJ

Object model based – no actual logical models of information!

Gap with semantic technologies integration

Limited data content rules and code lists

Mapping automation support missing

Multi-year development life cycles


SOA View - Information Sharing Stack and Rules Privacy and Policy

Automation

Identity and Access Management

Process Flow

Standardized Metadata

Common Vocabulary

Business Process, Enrichment, Routing Rules

Identity, Access Control, Classifications Rules

Privacy and Policy Automation Rules

NIEM: business rules important; not just data


NIEM is still improving… Collections of complex XML Schema with verbose components Embedded context in names Currently facing significant scaling challenges

– Inconsistencies; too much manual management; slow lifecycles

Dictionary technology incubating Enhanced code lists mechanism incubating UML profile is evolving initiative with OMG

– Attempt to marry modelling techniques and XSD Schema syntax

Policy and Security mechanisms incubating Need to embrace enabling tools for rapid expansion of domains and

community collaboration


Oracle and NIEM The Oracle NIEM team has been working with the DHS/DOJ/HHS NIEM

program for three years providing support and tools The Oracle toolkit for NIEM is the leading toolset for developing NIEM

solutions and integrating NIEM with Oracle product solutions Understanding what NIEM is today and then where the future of NIEM is

heading is critical for Oracle customers to see how they can leverage NIEM across their enterprise information exchanges

Oracle thought leadership and tools delivery is pivotal to success of NIEM and Open Data information sharing initiatives

Horizontal collaboration between DoD, DHS, DOJ, FBI, HHS strategically vital


Example – Military Applicant Onboarding

Need to examine the applicants health history and particularly prescriptions

1 in 5 high schoolers today are abusing prescriptions Drug use leads to at-risk military personnel from in-theatre

adverse reactions and post-traumatic stress Nationally States are looking to share pharmacy records to reduce

prescription abuse, pill mills and rogue doctors– 1,000 people die each month from drug abuse in the US

– In California 80% of prescriptions are for non-residents

DOJ / BJA PMIX program – Prescription Medication Information eXchange – using NIEM


Oracle Tools - Integrated Location Intelligence

Draw line around an area of interest and highlight all cases in area, and drill into details of a specific incidents.

Location information integrated with BI to allow analysis of incident patterns, geographical hot spots..


NIEM, Open Data and Mobile


Oracle Open Data Solution – Open-XDX

Open-XDX is an all new component designed to deliver

world class Open Data APIs

Integrates into Oracle Fusion Middleware foundation and

Database products

Uses rapid configuration templates and code-less methods

and open source NIEM tools

Allows plug-and-play delivery for Oracle customers and

applications


Example – Chicago Pharmacy Vaccines Searchhttp://www.verifyxml.org

1. Socrata data extract

2. Oracle database

3. FMW4. Open-XDX5. Prime Faces

Combines: rapid development paradigm; open data approach; open

source tools; RESTful web services; community based resources and

delivery; NIEM-aligned information feeds; Results Geo-mapping

Value Proposition Allow business data analysts to focus on information needs and

build data exchanges Aligns information with industry standards and enterprise

information stores Ensures consistent usage and definitions using profile of syntax-

neutral terms and constructs Components can be derived from existing domain schema and data

structures Supports providing sharing and collaboration services Allows development of supporting analytics tools
