NIEM Functional Overview Graphic 
* Use NIEM UML to tie your logical model to government systems * You don't have to use XML Schema if you don't want to * NIEM UML is a technology agnostic, lowest common denominator model which the exchanging parties can build upon, using their preferred technologies (JSON, CSV, web services, linked data, you-name-it) * Adapter classes in logical model * A lot of potential tie-ins between I&R and NIEM are at the client data level * example: Linking human services to Justice is "excarceration". A community human services agency is notified that a person in the prison system is being freed within 45 days, since they are completing their prison sentence (Orange County, FL is/was building such an exchange). A path from a human services model to a NIEM model would be very useful in such work for harmonizing terminology, before the exchange project even started. * another example: integration between county funded community behavioral health, schools, and law enforcement. This is a way school shootings can be prevented. * as the NIEM Human Services Domain, NHSIA, and the NIEM Children Youth and Family Service develop, the potential tie-ins will increase * HHS Connect in NYC uses NIEM to specify Human Services exchanges http://www.acf.hhs.gov/nhsia-definition NHSIA Conceptual Model Graphic
