Assignment

We  are going to address the interoperability of computer systems by looking at standards. A core standard for data exchange is the National Information Exchange Model (NIEM). NIEM evolved from a need to exchange criminal justice data. For this assignment you will write a one page (maximum 1 page) single spaced typed paper (12 point font, standard margins) which describes (1) A case study of an organization that uses NIEM, (2) how they use, and (3) what elements of NIEM they use.
