[Overview of NIEM]
The National Information Exchange Model (NIEM) was launched in 2005 as a
partnership between the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and Department
of Homeland Security (DHS) to address information sharing across
Federal, state, local, tribal, and private sector organizations. It is
designed to develop, disseminate and support enterprise-wide information
exchange standards and processes that can enable jurisdictions to
effectively share critical information in emergency situations, as well
as support the day-to-day operations of agencies throughout the nation.
NIEM breaks down barriers to information sharing by establishing a
standard for information sharing between Communities of Interest (COIs)
at all levels of government. The NIEM program is designed to:
- Bring stakeholders and COIs together to identify information sharing
requirements in day-to-day operational and emergency situations;
- Develop standards, a common lexicon and an on-line repository of
information exchange package documents to support information sharing;
- Provide technical tools to support development, discovery,
dissemination and re-use of exchange documents; and
- Provide training, technical assistance and implementation support
services for enterprise-wide information exchange
