What XML Can Do For You: A Better Way to Share Criminal Justice Data

October 2007

NIJ does not exercise control over external Web sites. Read our Exit Notice.

Having trouble sharing data electronically? Many systems are innately incompatible with each other; even similar systems can have difficulty sharing when data itself is not identically structured.

Extensible Markup Language (XML) is an increasingly adapted IT standard being used globally. XML is already improving the way criminal justice information is exchanged, but its potential is far from fully realized. In this online event, sponsored by the Government Innovators Network and the National Institute of Justice, a panel of experts presented an accessible overview of the IT behind data sharing. They highlighted best practices, lessons learned and the latest implementation projects.

This panel discussion is moderated by the Honorable Deborah Daniels. Panelists include Paul Embley, Paul Wormeli and Col. Bart Johnson.
