The Justice XML schemas and data dictionary will
have these in some fashion. How much actual use
they are getting is questionable, but just as they
did with CALS and 28001, Federal grant money is
being attached to them for public safety systems.
See www.it.ojp.gov
Where the 80/20 point here is questionable. These
are designed for databases that have a high degree
of associativity among the elements. To understand
these, one has to understand the master index types
and how NIBRS is fed from local to Federal agencies.
One must also understand the differences among
operational and organizational statistics.
Almost everyone who has any kind of employee database
will have those fragments. The justice systems
will also have the aka/alias relationships, history
tracking for locations, alerts, and so on.

Schema fragments to document & validate. Clearly a lot of people must
have written these fragments... -Tim
