Subject: Case Initiation Elements

I attach a Word table setting forth the case
initiation data elements that I have discovered to date.  They include input from the
Administrative Office of US Courts, ,
, , , , and .  The list includes case initiation data
for criminal, civil, bankruptcy, family, juvenile delinquency, juvenile
dependency, mental health, traffic and probate cases.



I am indebted to all who sent data elements to me.  



The exercise of putting this together convinces me that we
need to include some mechanism for easily extending our schema(s) to allow for
the exchange of additional data elements. 
After I had incorporated several criminal data element sets, I assumed
that I had the matrix well populated.  However, I found that each additional set
of elements from a new jurisdiction contributed several new elements not used
in the multiple element sets that I had already incorporated.



In short, I consider this a very substantial list of case
initiation elements that will impress our stakeholders of the breadth of our
inquiry.  But
I know it is not exhaustive, and, as Dallas Powell continually points out, it
cannot be made exhaustive no matter how much work we commit to the task because
of the unique data elements used and therefore required in different states and
different courts within some states.



I hope this is helpful to the reference document effort at
the end of this week.  I leave it to
Scott Came to determine if and how it can be used in
that exercise.
