These rely on XML-based transactions. Deatils and the DTD are online. I am home and do not have that URL. It is particularly at the pass-points of heterogeneous systems such as typify city and state operations that XML can be applied. Different pots of money procure these systems, so selling a complete system to any area is as much a matter of multiple customers under the same roof as anything else. Then there are the issues of getting each nested venue to accept the standards for passing the information. At this time, the best work is in the Federal area and there are large grants available to municipalities who apply these standards. Solving the security and authentication problems, and getting the approval of the legislatures to use this are the critical issues to using XML for so-called, public safety systems. Currently, we field an application, I-NetViewer to enable privileged users access to the PS databases and to conduct a restricted set of transactions. We would like to advance to use of XML and are closely watching progress in the areas mentioned above. The food chain of information providers based on standards such as NIBRS is very very large and very much in need of the ability to use BeyondDelimitedASCII transports. There are some challenges with the existing practices and applications of relational systems (the usual drill or ricebowl and entrenched vendors). len xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers.
