RE: Public Safety and XML (WAS RE: [xml-dev] Schema fragments fo r everyday stuff)

Thanks Joe.  I will.

Also note: public safety is somewhat larger than criminal 
justice.  For example, permits are managed 
by the police and not all CFS events are crimes.  Fire 
may be arson but it may just be a lightning strike.  Even 
if crime dominates, this information is all handled in the 
same systems.  A police RMS is a very large GUI.  If the  
scales larger than that, web services are imperative, 
say for example, the ability to share maps and other 
information among the police and the utilities systems 
given well-configured policies.

9/11 changed a lot of minds and priorities.

I'll give those questions more thought (learning more every day about
the justice domain) - but in the meantime you might like to check out
the Justice Information Exchange Model (JIEM) project [1], which is
related to the processing modeling aspect (you may already be familiar
with it). There's a one-page exec summary [2] that gives a good
overview.
