“NIEM, the National Information Exchange Model (http://www.niem.gov), is a partnership of the U.S. Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security. It is designed to develop, disseminate and support enterprise-wide information exchange standards and processes that can enable jurisdictions to effectively share critical information in emergency situations, as well as support the day-to-day operations of agencies throughout the nation.”

The purpose of the Justice Reference Architecture (JRA) focuses upon “(s)olving interoperability challenges (that) continue to be a significant problem and a high priority for the justice and public safety community. There are approximately 100,000 justice agencies that have the critical need to share information across their various information systems, and this variety creates multiple layers of interoperability problems because hardware, software, networks and business rules for data exchange are different. The need for information sharing has lead to this interoperability strategy and the Global Justice Information Sharing Initiative (Global) Justice Reference Architecture (JRA).”
