FeedbackFeedback

• Need for Training and Documentation !!!

• Good Model – Wide Domain Coverage, Object Based,

Flexible Structure, Code Tables, Namespace Orientation

• Challenges – Not Easy to Restrict, Some Common Elements

Difficult to Locate, Validation Performance Challenges (XML

SPY, etc.)

• Use Market Generated Tools, Avoid Development when

Possible


Operational Capability Release Plans• Initial Operational Release of Version 3.0 – January 15, 2004• Periodic releases thru 2004 (Focus on Adds – not Change)• Major releases permanently available (3.1, 3.2, 3.3, etc.)• Pre-releases stay available but won’t be updated• Preview of next Operational Release will be available (3.1x,

– Use employs only those parts (subsets) required for a specific application

– Absorbs Search Tool when full functionality achieved

– Available 2nd Quarter of 2004


Planned Capability• Context Search Capability

– Provides capability to search Dictionary using “Common Names” (Context Elements) as arguments

– Produces Data Model counterparts of “Common Names”– i.e., ArrestDate (not in Data Model); ActivityDate

(Property of ActivityType) within Arrest (ArrestType) gives same result

– Available Mid-Year 2004


Planned Capability• Component Selection List Schema

– An XML Schema for identifying GJXDM Components Required to generate a Subset

Envisioned Capability• Registry/Repository Capability

– Standards-Based Server containing GJXDM, Supporting Tools, Documentation and Reference Document Schemas

– Functions: Access, Navigation, Viewing, Retrieval

– Multiple Interfaces: Browsers, Web Services, etc.

– Convergence of Artifacts

– Aimed at Internet environment for optimal connectivity and access

– Availability (to be determined)


Planned Capabilities• Reference Document Schemas

– Application-Oriented

– Document “Instances”
