Validate and provide recommendations to enhance National Information Exchange Model (NIEM) 3.0 architecture related to the Intelligence Community (IC) data encoding specifications (i.e., ISM, NTK, and TDF) aligned to Open Geospatial Consortium's (OGC) Testbed 9 work.

Provide recommendations to enable full-round-tripping from NIEM information exchange packages (IEP) to Geography Markup Language (GML) features and back to provide a comprehensive view of NIEM and GML capabilities and to document NIEM architectural gaps. 

Interconnect RISSafe, Case Explorer, and SAFETNet instances to create a nationwide event deconfliction system.

Leverage existing system implementations and use of information sharing standards (NIEM, LEXS).

This effort plans to address cross-border information sharing between Canada and US emergency management mission partners. Standardized information sharing will provide the mission partners across the borders to maintain and reach back into the situation awareness information, and where conditions match, a standardized message generated and sent based on pre-defined policies (rules). The goal of the project is to validate and enhance the IEF architecture.

Enabling the free flow of information. The Maritime Information Sharing Environment (MISE) as defined in the National Maritime Architecture Plan enables secure, standardized sharing of maritime information among a wide variety of federal, state, and local agencies as well as international participants.

Providing secure access to information. The design of MISE interface security has followed a number of patterns used in the U.S. Department of Justice’s Global Federated Identity and Privilege Management (GFIPM).

Current systems that are implemented to support the emergency management community are typically developed using proprietary data models that may inhibit information sharing. The IMIS Framework recommends an architecture where standard information encodings and standard data services are implemented in the IMIS-compliant systems to support the necessary data exchanges and improve overall interoperability between systems holding information and systems supporting consumers of the information.

The primary goal of the combined project is to develop, test, and implement a standards-based offender information sharing capability between departments of correction and community service providers and government agencies who seek to reduce recidivism and victimization and who are tasked with providing support and supervision of adult offenders during reentry, with particular focus on offenders with mental health and substance abuse issues.

• Enabling the free flow of information in support of statewide law enforcement, homeland security, and emergency management missions to prevent, mitigate, respond to, investigate, and recover from all man-made and natural hazards.
• Providing secure access to information and actionable intelligence for participating agencies, across the public and private sectors, to better assure the safety and security of New Jersey communities.
