PMBusiness Process Modeling Revisited for IEPD Development and Deployment

Joe Mierwa, Patriot Data Solutions Group

The presentation discusses the usage of the Business Process Management Notation (BPMN) and the Justice Information Exchange Modeling (JIEM) tool as orthogonal components for information sharing project development and deployment. The underlying basis of any project is a good understanding of the relevant business requirements. In addition, the type of project for which information must be exchanged will have an impact on how much value each of the relative modeling approaches will impart to the success of the overall project. The needs of different project types also demonstrate the justification for using multiple tools for capturing all of the relevant information and thereby present the case for being able to share the underlying models between tools and the method by which this interchange can be realized. The topics to be presented are Brief Overview of BPMN Versus JIEM Concepts; Overview of Different Development Approaches, Top Down (Business Driven) and Bottom Up (Architecture Driven); The Case For Tool Interchange; An Introduction to the XML Process Definition Language (XPDL); Interrelations Between the BPMN and XPDL; How It Fits With the JRA; and Interrelations Between the BPMN and Business Process Execution Language (BPEL).

Case Study: Implementation of NIEM 2.0 for the MIOC Federated Query

Winfield Wagner, Patriot Data Solutions Group

A discussion on how the reuse of the LEX\SAR IEPD was implemented to provide the Michigan Intelligence Operation Center with a standardized view of information gathered though federated query-and-response services. The use case covers how varying query service data requirements and standards (GJXDM, NCIC, local APIs, etc.) and response formats and content were captured and normalized to generate a single business object repository. The repository provided a mapping for transforming the variations into a common data model to provide the end user with a single view of the information.
