Information Exchange Modeling The information exchanges represented in Figure 1 have been modeled using the Justice Information Exchange Modeling tool (JIEM), developed by SEARCH. A separate report is being prepared documenting the specific exchanges contemplated in this HIP Project. Mapping of Information to the Global Justice XML Data Model The first tier in the process of mapping information that will be exchanged for the HIP project has been completed, i.e., information from the OBTS/CCH Arrest Report, which is automated in the Green Box booking system, has been mapped to GJXDM. The GJXDM mapping of booking information is presented in a separate report. A second tier of analysis must now be completed by technical staff in each of the participating agencies to whom information will be pushed from the IJIS Broker, i.e., ISC, Third Circuit Courts, Hawaii County Prosecutor and HCCC. Technical staff (or their solution providers or technical consultants) representing each of the agencies will need to map the GJXDM data to their intemal/native information system to ensure accurate transformation of booking information into formats that are consistent with and interpretable by internal agency information systems. Three alternatives exist to facilitate information exchange between native agency information systems and the IJIS Broker: 1. Agency systems map their intemal data to GJXDM standards and all exchange with the IJIS Broker is completed in GJXDM-compliant standards; 2. Agency systems push/pull information with the IJIS Broker in native format, and the IJIS Broker actively transforms the data into GJXDM-compliant standards, maps the information to meet individual agency reporting formats, and pushes data to each agency in a format that is consistent with, and interpretable by, the internal information systems of each participating agency; and 3. An external solution provider is contracted to provide adaptors for each agency system, which will actively transform native data from agency systems into/from GJXDM, so that the IJIS Broker deals only with GJXDM-compliant data and participating agency systems receive information in native format. Alternative 1 is the preferred option from both cost and future development perspectives. Mapping agency information to GJXDM standards will in all likelihood be more efficiently accomplished by agency technical staff and their solution providers given their extensive knowledge of current systems and data. In addition, mapping agency systems to GJXDM standards will facilitate the more extensive information exchange contemplated in further implementation of the IJIS Broker, which will extend beyond the OBTS/CCH Arrest Report. Next Steps Several additional activities should be undertaken immediately: 1. This document has been distributed to each participating agency to: a. apprise them of the status of the HIP project, b. validate the information exchanges presented above, HORIZONTAL INTEGRATION PILOT 10/IO/2005 PAGE 8
