Disclaimer: This post speaks from an outsiders perspective. My interactions with this initiative have been from a regional implementers standpoint and I am not privy to any of the decisions that led to the OneDOJ initiative. This perspective comes from actual project work and reviewing open source information regarding the broader initiative. One of my first web service projects involved implementing a service from a WSDL provided to us by the federal partner in charge of a regional data sharing...

One of the goals of a large state-wide multi-agency data sharing project my organization is participating in was to start with a partner designed WSDL and then implement it in the underlying technology of the partner's choice.

This is the second time I had started with a WSDL and then created a conformant service. My organization was one of the few that actually...

There are several publicly available tools to search the NIEM 2.0 reference model and generate schema subsets that you can bring into a project.

My name is Chris and I spend most of my days for my employer working on a myriad of projects and systems in the criminal justice arena. I work mainly in .NET (VB to be specific) but I am no longer afraid of things like C# and Java. Somewhere along the line I told someone I knew something about XML too. Most of my days are split between being a "product/project leader" for one of our mobile solutions and also as the interfaces guy. I get to spend a lot of my interface guy time lecturing about SOA,...
