JIEM 4.1 Tool released August 27, 2008!
The release of JIEM 4.0 on the Eclipse platform proved to be a great success. SEARCH continues to enhance features and functionality of the JIEM Tool through the release of JIEM 4.1.
New features and functionality included in JIEM 4.1 now allow JIEM users to:
- Collect information exchange requirements in a more efficient manner through improvements to the user interface
- Capture Access Control and Performance metadata for each exchange
- Capture Service details used when designing services within a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA)
- More explicitly and accurately define the content on information exchanges through a complete makeover to the Information Dimension
- Produce additional reports based on the information they have collected about information exchanges
JIEM Modeling Tool
The JIEM Modeling Tool is an easy-to-use software package that enables justice system practitioners to build a model of their "as-is" and "to-be" information exchanges.
Using the Tool, practitioners apply the JIEM Methodology, documenting requirements for electronic information sharing, capturing both the information content and business context of information exchanges.
JIEM includes access to the JIEM Reference Model, a set of standard exchanges that occur in the adult felony environment and that are similar to the data exchanges occurring in most locations. Through leveraging the Reference Model, a site can perform JIEM analysis much more quickly and with results that are more consistent with those of other jurisdictions.
More detailed information on the JIEM Tool is available in these documents:
Using the JIEM Tool
The JIEM Tool is available at no charge to the justice community through funding from the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance.
Access to the JIEM Tool is restricted to individuals who have (1) attended a 1 ˝-day SEARCH training course, and (2) taken and passed an on-line certification exam. The exam can be taken in conjunction with the training, if desired.

Important Note about Converting Web JIEM Site Databases
SEARCH believes that practitioners who invest their resources in capturing information exchange requirements in JIEM should remain in control of that information while it resides on SEARCH's servers. As such, if a third party (e.g., consultant) wishes to request conversion of a Web JIEM site database for use in JIEM 4.x on behalf of a practitioner or justice agency, we require that the practitioner (or a representative of the practitioner's agency) submit a request for the conversion that authorizes our disclosure of the information to the third party. The request should be sent via email and should identify the web JIEM site database(s) that SEARCH is authorized to convert.

This one-page flyer makes a great hand-out and describes the features and benefits of the JIEM resource.
- JIEM Conceptual Framework - August 2008
This document defines and illustrates the five dimensions of information exchange (processes, events, agencies, conditions, and information), and explains how the individual dimensions are brought together to form meaningful exchanges of information.
- JIEM Reference Model
This business reference model for justice information exchange contains almost 700 key exchanges common to most jurisdictions. It is a reference manual for analyzing information exchange as a part of an integrated justice initiative, and aids sites in using JIEM effectively and economically. If you are a current JIEM 4.0 or 4.1 user, you can obtain a copy of the JIEM Adult Felony Reference Model that you can import and use within the tool. Please consult the “Reference Models” page on the JIEM Community Site for more information.
