Data driven investigation and registration at the Dutch National Police

The Dutch National Police is one of the largest governmental organisations in the Netherlands, with over 65.000 employees. Currently, we are undertaking the effort to redesign and realize the new ad-ministrative information system that should support the day-to-day processes of most of the common police agents ‘on the street’. As we are using RDF technology, this will arguable create one of the larg-est online transaction processing software solutions using RDF. The current software production cycle is performed using SAFE en Agile methodologies by more than a dozen high-performance teams. As one might expect, the modeling of this database is a huge effort, which needs to be managed accordingly.
The department of Data Use and Data Management of the Dutch National Police is using the MIM 1.1 standard to generate company wide semantic models to ensure semantically correct data integration in the business. Application designers use the conceptual models to generate application specific logical and technical models. Speeding up the police process requires semantically clear data on subjects and the highest data quality possible. The Semantic Model of the Police enables a registration process that in-tegrates applications, departments and even strategic goals of national security.
