LegalXML Member Section XML Court Document
--version 1.1 DTD--
Joint Technology Committee

This Electronic Court Filing XML Standard version 1.1 DTD is the current recommended standard of the COSCA/NACM Joint Technology Committee.  Although this document is available for your use and consideration, we strongly recommend that you use the Justice XML Data Dictionary version 3.0.

Justice XML Data Dictionary v3.0

  • The NCSC has been working with the various XML initiative (for e-filing document and information exchange) since this all started in about 1999.  The most important thing to remember about this new technology is that XML will allow us to send and receive documents and court case information electronically.  To do that, however, we MUST first all agree on standards.  Without standards, XML will be extremely difficult to implement.  The first court standard adopted was the LegalXML e-filing DTD 1.0 inthe year 2000.  Then the US DOJ, through their GLOBAL initiative asked all agencies that were developing XML tag standards to join forces to compile one national standard.  The Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) was asked to work with all agencies to help build a Justice XML Data Dictionary v.3.0.  GTRI used the Legal XML e-filing DTD v1.1 along with other material to build this new v3.0 and then used staff from all agencies to review and edit the material.  The review and editing process is now complete.  The Justice XML Data Dictionary v3.0 is now available for review and comment.

  • Please go to <http://it.ojp.gov/jxdm> to read and review this very important information.  Please review the release information, and provide your comments to the feedback page <http://justicexml.gtri.gatech.edu/feedback>.  This material represents all agencies, but you should only review material that is court related.  We need your comments.
