NIEM version 3.1 is Now Available
The final operational release of NIEM version 3.1 has been published and is now available. NIEM 3.1 is a minor release that incorporates user needs since NIEM 3.0 was launched in November 2013.
NIEM 3.1 is available here.
The NIEM model was designed to accommodate updates on a regular basis in order to adapt and evolve with user needs. The NIEM release cycle allows us to make these model updates on a predictable and sustainable schedule.
NIEM 3.1 highlights:
One new domain has added content to the model for the first time:
- Welcome, Human Services!
Six existing domains have updated their model content:
- Biometrics
- Children, Youth, and Family Services (CYFS)
- International Trade
- Justice
- Maritime
- Military Operations (MilOps)
Two core supplements that apply to NIEM Core 3.0 are included:
- Supplement 3.0.1 – Incorporates all U.S. State codes into U.S. Postal Service (USPS) code list—including Alabama (AL); previously omitted
- Supplement 3.0.2 – Incorporates the following updates:
