NIEM Announces Release of Conformance and IEPD Specifications and JSON Beta1 Release for Review

The National Information Exchange Model’s (NIEM) Management Office announces the final release of two specifications:

The Conformance Specification details NIEM general conformance guidance, principles, and rules. 

The specification provides normative rules and non-normative guidance for building NIEM information exchange messages.

NIEM JSON Specification 5.0 beta1 is available for public review and feedback through Friday, 9 April.
The JSON Specification establishes the technical basis for using JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) as a data format for exchange of information consistent with NIEM-conformant schemas and message specifications.

NIEM specifications provide rules and guidance to ensure design consistent and well-defined information exchanges. Specifications are managed by NIEM’s Technical Architecture Committee 

NIEM’s TechHub provides the developer community with resources and training. The technical repositories are simplified for ease of navigation and use. The landing page for NIEM Specifications includes “Announcements,” and identifies NIEM specifications ready for review.
