3. NIEM is many things to many people Cross-government information sharing Interoperable and reusable Cheaper better processes Easier services for citizens Safer society Effective healthcare

4. Rapid NIEM Development • What does it take to enable rapid development of NIEM exchanges? • Empowering business data and process analysts • They are the ones with the knowledge about the business requirements and implementation nuances • Empowering the XML developers tasked with delivering the software solution • Provide neutral methods that leverage existing skill sets and knowledge base – e.g. XML and SQL and minimize need to learn new technologies • Deliver the NIEM domain and core component sets in format that can be quickly adapted and reused

5. Summary Minimal learning curve for practitioners Deliver the NIEM domain and core component sets in format that can be quickly adapted and reused Provide technology neutral methods, tools and techniques Leverage visual metaphors – WYSIWYG This is the approach we are delivering today

6. CAMeditor.ORG Project Statistics • SNAPSHOT OF PROJECT ACTIVITIES50,000 CAMeditor.org page visits in one year • 130 countries have downloaded tools; • 25% of visitors are from U.S.; • 400+ downloads weekly • 2 or 3 students use online video training resource daily • 6 languages now available ‹#›

13. NIEM: Top Down Exchange Assembly Components Canonical Dictionary Collections Canonical XML Components Dictionary 1 XML User Inserts Navigation and Query Tools Relationship Lookups Component Associations and Couplings 2 Domains Reuse Library Exchange Templates and Rules 3 Artefact relationships Catalog Template Presentation Automatic Rendering Tools W3C Schema and Model Representations 4 Collaboration Services XML Schema Components Models Delivery Control, Messaging, Security Deployment Environments and Middleware 5 Testing Workbench, Rules Engine, Data Samples, Integration ETL Implementation Artifacts and Examples 6

14. Also need “Bottom Up” solution delivery Ingest existing application semantic artifacts – e.g. XML Schema, Database schema, Excel spreadsheets, Enterprise Data Models (EDM) Generate dictionaries of components Re-factoring of existing IEPD schema Example: SAR v2.0 work

15. Semantics Approach • Neutral formatted XML dictionaries • Contains core information on XML components • Representation subset of UN/CEFACT Core Components Technical Specification (CCTS) • Can generate OWL, XMI and more as desired (contains the vocabulary terms, definitions, purpose and content models)

17. Review and Value Proposition Automation tools to support NIEM IEPD process Testing and verification of your exchange XML examples Business rule checking Regression testing with batch processing Flexible deployment of XML validation framework Dictionary based approach Support for UML/XMI and Models Neutral approach leveraging open public standards – OASIS and UN/CEFACT

18. What are we working on? • Improvements • “CAM for web services” – currently exchange-centric • CAM v2.2 introduced JAXB and JAX-WS integration • Enhancing dictionary semantics and management • New features • Evaluation tools for dictionaries and components • Enhancing XML example generation with synthetic data • Semantic integration with OWL • Better support for UML/XMI and NIEM profile
