Q&A: Q&A Session for The National Information Exchange Model and Semantic-Driven Development
Attachment: NIEM-Slides-v2.pdf (2.36 MB)

Since 2002, several US federal agencies have been deploying XML standards for the exchange of complex data sets. Led by a large project at the US Department of Justice and homeland security, there are now hundreds of states and vendors supporting an emerging XML standard called the National Information Exchange Model or NIEM. This presentation will look at the NIEM processes and show how they are being used to promote semantically precise data exchanges as well as promoting transparency in government. We will compare ISO-based NIEM processes with RDF and OWL and show how they complement each other.

The slides for this session are available to registered members of Semantic Universe only. Please sign in to the site, and a link to download the slides will appear. If you are not a member, please consider joining today. Membership is free.
