Justice DHS launch draft data-sharing model

http://www.gcn.com/online/vol1_no1/41358-1.html

The Homeland Security and Justice departments today took the wraps off a test version of their model for sharing information about natural disasters, terrorist attacks and other crises. The model comprises an Extensible Markup Language-based schemata that agencies could use to code their data in a standard format for more efficient communication, database searches and coordination. The departments first announced their plans to cooperate on the NIEM project in March 2005. The “beta” or test version of the National Information Exchange Model is designed to help federal agencies cooperate with other government organizations during disasters, as well as support the agencies’ day-to-day work, the departments said.
