''NIEM currently includes the following domains: justice, intelligence, immigration, emergency management, international trade, infrastructure protection, and information assurance. As success is achieved in these domains, it is anticipated that other stakeholders, such as those in healthcare and transportation, may also use the NIEM framework for standards development.''

"With Crossflo's success in efficiently mapping data and implementing data exchanges for state and local law enforcement agencies, court systems, as well as healthcare organizations, we were able to transfer our expertise into a tool that agencies can use to map their data to N-DEx in conformance with all current standards," stated Mike Berman, senior vice president of Sales and Marketing at Crossflo. "CDX now fully leverages the use of LEX/N-DEx as well as NIEM schema structures including associations, substitution groups, and the XSD:ANY construct. These capabilities are critical in order to produce conforming and valid XML for NIEM and other new XML standards."

I think this is where we stand-out and why HP likes it.
