Children, Youth and Family Services NIEM Domain Training
The Children, Youth, and Family Services (CYFS) Domain, part of the NIEM, has an extensive training program available. It includes an introduction to the CYFS domain, plus an entirely reworked version of the existing NIEM training. This new version is customized for the CYFS community and contains CYFS-specific examples and exercises. It covers advanced technical concepts regarding the NIEM, as well as the process of developing IEPDs and creating schema-based artifacts. While not a replacement for a full course in XML and XML Schema, the videos do give a whirlwind overview of these topics.
The training is video-based and hosted on YouTube for easy access from any YouTube-enabled device. The videos are high-definition, ensuring readable on-screen XML for examples and exercises. There's over six hours of video instruction, broken and organized into manageable sections of 15 minutes or less. This training is conducted by the NJISI’s Technical Lead, Tom Carlson of Tom Carlson Consulting.
This training was developed in coordination with the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) and the National Juvenile Information Sharing Initiative (NJISI).
