How often are new Global JXDM operational releases published?
Our intent is to publish new Global JXDM releases only as needed. To stay abreast of the latest information regarding the timing of a new release, refer to the OJP Information Technology Initiatives Web site or sign up for the Global JXDM Listserv. The releases (distribution schemas and documentation) can be downloaded or referenced using the URL that is the namespace of the version you need. Each version has a different target namespace distinguished by its three part version number. The namespace for the most current release version 3.0.3 is www.it.ojp.gov/jxdm/3.0.3. Releases will always remain available and are all organized under the directory www.it.ojp.gov/jxdm. Releases within a series are forward compatible. This means that instances written to validate with version 3.0.0 schemas will also validate with versions 3.0.2 and 3.0.3 schemas. Please note that, backward compatibility is not supported (i.e. instances written for 3.0.3 schemas may or may not validate with versions 3.0.
