SAN DIEGO, July 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Patriot Data Solutions Group, Inc. ("PDSG"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Patriot Scientific Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: PTSC), announced today that two papers authored by PDSG employees have been selected for presentation at the 2009 NIEM National Training Event in Baltimore, Maryland in September.

The National Information Exchange Model ("NIEM") was launched in 2005 as a federal, state, local and tribal interagency initiative providing a foundation for seamless information exchange using a common lexicon and an on-line repository of information exchange package documents. It leverages the global data exchange standards efforts and extends the Global Justice XML Data Model (GJXDM) to facilitate timely, secure information sharing across the whole of the justice, public safety, emergency and disaster management, intelligence, and homeland security enterprise. More information may be found at http://www.niem.gov.

Summaries of the papers are as follows:

"Business Process Modeling Revisited for IEPD Development and Deployment"

A discussion of 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. In addition, a discussion on the relative value for each modeling approach for various project types will take place. The needs of the different project types also demonstrate a need for using multiple tools for capturing all of the relevant information necessary 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.

"Implementation of NIEM 2.0 for the MIOC Federated Query"

A discussion on how the reuse of the LEX\SAR IEPD was implemented to provide the Michigan Intelligence Operation Center, 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 a single view of the information.

The NIEM event will be held at the Hilton Baltimore from September 30 to October 2, 2009 and will provide valuable guidance, tools, and resources via concurrent sessions covering subjects of interest to executives, program managers, system architects, and implementers to assist them in their efforts to share mission-critical information. The event will include presentations, best practices, panel discussions and workshops of interest to both government and industry. Papers were sought from practitioners, private sector and educators that support the nationwide implementation and use of NIEM in a variety of domains, including justice, public safety, homeland security, health and human services, maritime, courts, and corrections.
