We are pleased to announce that the IJIS Institute will be hosting a virtual NIEMOpen Reveal Summit on November 13th, 2025, from 9AM to 4PM EST. This one-day summit will highlight Use Cases from the Field where developers have adopted NIEM to solve contemporary information exchange problems at Federal, State and County levels.

While the final agenda is still a work-in-progress, several topic areas will be addressed:

1. The “New NIEM”

   • The NIEM Data Model is now expressed in a Common Model Format that is technology-agnostic, supporting representation in XML, JSON, or OWL and potentially other formats and providing translation between these various formats.

2. New Model Version 6.0

3. New Naming and Design Rules 6.0

4. New Tools including Common Model Format Tool and API 2.0

   • To support the Common Model Format architecture, new tools are being released to automate the creation of message exchange specifications. The 6.0 release also includes a new API that provides additional functionality for using NIEMOpen in exchanges and for creating ontologies in knowledge graphs.

5. Support for AI, Ontologies and Knowledge Graphs

6. NIEMOpen Excellence Awards

   • NIEMOpen will present individual, group and team awards recognizing achievements, innovation and contributions advancing the NIEM model and providing NIEM solutions to community data and information sharing requirements.

We invite all to register and join us in celebrating the “New NIEM” as well as the 20 Year Anniversary of NIEM!
