Performance and Scalability Research
Research designed by stakeholder committee and conducted by the George Washington University
Raw validation is time consuming but post-testing deployment can be done without significant impact on infrastructure with adherence to development guidelines
Conformance guidelines are sound and ensure best performance
Examples of conformant GJXDM Deployment
Maricopa County CJIS
Automation of arrest and booking information exchange serving multiple disciplines
Phoenix Police Department, Maricopa County Sheriffs Office, Maricopa County ICJIS and the Arizona Department of Public Safety
Regional Information Sharing
Unified Port of San Diego, Los Angeles Port Police, Los Angeles County Sheriff share data with the San Diego Harbor Police Department (HPD)
Pulls information from 7 disparate data sources to share among agencies
Ohio statewide police network
Information exchange among 900 separate police information systems enabled by GJXDM—statewide interoperability
Funded by pooling DHS grant fundsNegotiated implementation making
COTS products conform to GJXDM with major vendors in Ohio
Tiburon-Emergitech-VisionAir…..
Syracuse PD
Mobile computer based incident reporting
17 cities, County Sheriff share information on criminal incidents
Fully conformant to the GJXDMReal time access to incident dataExpanding to other counties in
central NY
COTS Product Empowerment
Police and court case management software vendors adopt GJXDM as a no-cost standard offering
Non-compliant interfaces add extra cost
Industry View of GJXDM
Open standards such as XML and GJXDM will:– Radically reduce cost to governments– Reduce the risk to vendors– Expedite information sharing development– Increase customer satisfaction
Wide-spread adoption of XML-based exchange models is a national imperative
