A series of videos are now available online that provide training and illustrate various aspects of NIEM information exchange development.
Learn how to build a working XML query/response system with SQL
database accessing and XML components from example NIEM schema and
dictionary.
Software development practitioners, business analysts and managers will find the materials accessible and
valuable in showing the decision making processes that go into
constructing a working XML exchange.
Materials
are focused on practical implementers, after viewing the instruction
material you can use the open source tools and apply to your own
SQL to XML use cases and information exchange projects.
All the SQL and XML code, editor tools, dictionary and instructions that accompany the
tutorial videos are also available for download so you can try
everything yourself.
See the NIEM Training Videos site to access the NIEM training resources.
And the open source project web site (sponsored by Oracle) contains the tools, downloads and supplemental technical materials and quick guide manuals.

CAMV and TEAM Engine (Test, Evaluation, And Measurement) suite development
The CAMV engine is ideal for rapidly developing Test, Evaluation, And
Measurement (TEAM) test suites for XML information exchanges. The
concise CAM rules syntax leverages XPath v2.0 capabilities. This means
that rules are declarative along with acting directly on the XML
structure and hence this dramatically simplifies rule assertions.
Coupled to this is the ability of the CAM Editor visual IDE to automate much of the tasks involved in test suite and Compliance and Interoperability Testing development and implementation. This includes automatic harvesting of rules from existing XSD schema definitions, automatic generation of XML test instances with realistic test data hints, and generation of HTML documentation of the business rules. Then rule entry wizards simplify the task of rule entry and are accessible via a "right click" popup menu tool directly from the XML instance structure viewer in the CAM Editor IDE. Compliance test rules are implemented in XPath language syntax that can be run interactively in the CAM Editor IDE against XML test instances and results visually diagnosed.
Completed rules templates may then be deployed via ANT scripts as automated test suites for validation of arbitrary XML information exchange samples. The ANT scripts support use of drop folders, so any test cases dropped into the designated folder will then be inspected and validated against the applicable rules templates.
For more information on utilizing these techniques and tools, along with sample Test Suites please see the Sourceforge.net resources site for the CAM tools - and the CAMV Test Suites link.

CAM XML Editor version 2.2.1 now available
CAM Editor v2.2.1 release is now available. Lots of nice enhancements, CAMV performance boost and important bug fixes for DoD, NIEM and LEXS schema.
Download is available from the CAM XML Editor Resource Site.
The CAM editor is the leading open source XML Editor/Validation/Schema designer for rapidly building and deploying complete XML information exchanges. Provides a visual WYSIWYG structure with rule entry wizards and drag and drop dictionary components.
Will import, analyze and refactor existing XML Schema.
Oracle is a proud sponsor of the project and its use on the NIEM.gov initiative.
Creates XSD schema + JAXB bindings, Mindmap or UML models (XMI), XML test suite examples, HTML documentation + spreadsheets (NIEM IEPDs). XSD schema export in default, flatten, NIEM, and OASIS modes. Generates canonical component dictionaries from schema sets, ERwin models, or spreadsheets.

CAM v2.2 release with multi-lingual support taking NIEM international
New release now available with French, Spanish, Russian, Norwegian, Chinese and Japanese support from http://www.cameditor.org
Complete highlights include the following:
o International localization language support for menus and screens
o JAXB binding and ConTessa support for XSD schema export
o Better XSD schema importing and exporting
o Dictionary collection manager wizard
o Better dictionary namespace handling
o Better UML physical model export to XMI 2.1.2 (now works with popular UML tools)
o CAMV validation engine support for W3C DOM and extended API options
Notice the Dictionary Collection Manager tool uses enhanced namespace techniques. Please download the latest NIEM dictionary pack from Sourceforge files to take advantage of these.
