Global Justice XML Data Dictionary
Version 3.0 Prerelease

Purpose of the Prerelease

The prerelease of the Global Justice XML Data Dictionary (GJXDD) version 3 is intended to solicit review and feedback from the justice and public safety communities. GJXDD v3 has been reviewed by the Global Justice Information Sharing Initiative (Global) Infrastructure and Standards Working Group (ISWG). The Global ISWG committee, the XML Structure Task Force (XSTF), that developed the GJXDD v3, would now like to open review to a wider audience of technical experts and practicianers in the justice and public safety domain. The XSTF will review all feedback and decide which modifications to incorporate into future releases. New prereleases will be posted to this website along with change files and supporting documentation. From this website, users will be able to monitor updates.

Please use the GJXDM feedback page to provide comments, questions, and suggestions. Please read the supporting documentation before providing feedback.
