The National Information Exchange Model (NIEM) Program recently released NIEM 3.2 Beta for public review and comment. To ensure that the final NIEM 3.2 Beta best meets users’ evolving needs, NIEM is calling for reviews and feedback to be shared by April 15, 2016.
NIEM 3.2 will be a minor release that incorporates content identified since NIEM 3.1 was released in May 2015. The NIEM release cycle allows the team to make NIEM model updates on a predictable and sustainable schedule.
NIEM 3.2 incorporates significant changes to several existing domains and a new Surface Transportation domain to include:
- Existing domains updating their model content:
- Emergency Management
- Biometrics (including enhanced alignment to ANSI/NIST-ITL developments)
- Military Operations
- Justice (including new Corrections content)
- Human Services
The 3.2 Beta model is available in both NIEM-conformant XSD and Microsoft Excel formats.
Download NIEM 3.2 Beta package at https://release.niem.gov/niem/3.2/. This package contains both the XSDs and the spreadsheet format.
Submit your NIEM 3.2 Beta comments by April 15, 2016, to niem-comments@lists.gatech.edu. All domain specific feedback will be reviewed by the lead developer and the associated domain(s). Feedback received outside the scope of NIEM 3.2 Beta will be reviewed for future releases, as appropriate.
NIEM expects the final operational release of NIEM 3.2 Beta in the June 2016 timeframe. Please stay tuned for updates.
Helpful Hint: To see a list of changes that have been made from 3.1 to 3.2 Beta, please download NIEM 3.2 Beta and refer to the change log spreadsheet in the zip folder where you can filter on specific domains.
For those who use the NIEM Subset Schema Generation Tool (SSGT): If you are interested in testing, searching, or trying subsets, our staging server is now running with NIEM 3.2 Beta. Please note, the staging server may seem a bit slower than the production server as it does not have the same computing power. Access this version of SSGT here.
