NIEM is the future of human services data exchange
With the recent addition of the Family Services domain to NIEM, and plan for further expansion, NIEM looks like our best bet for achieving integrated human services delivery.
NIEM has a basic messaging framework (LEXS), widespread adoption in Justice and Law Enforcement already http://www.niem.gov/organizationsMap.php,
and a well-document process for adding new formats (like HMIS, DCDS, AIRS) to it.
