Welcome to the CorDM Web Site Release 7

The Corporate Data Model for the Police Service

The vision for police service information systems in England, Wales and Northern Ireland is set out in the ACPO Information Systems Strategy for the Police Service (ISS4PS). The vision defines an integrated information environment to maximise the benefit of information management across internal police and other organisation boundaries.

One of the cornerstones of the ISS4PS was the development of a Corporate Data Model (CorDM). The scope of the CorDM is to cover all of the operational data within the Police Service. The CorDM, developed in UML (the Unified Modelling Language), provides structure, definitions and standards for the data. It also provides a link to the CLMS (Code List Management Service) web site and the CorDM XML (Extensible Markup Language) web site. The CorDM forms part of a business model of the Police Service.
