The FOIA XML Schema

Federal agencies publish FOIA information in accordance with guidelines prepared by the U. S. Department of Justice Office of Information Policy. These guidelines, available here, describe the format and meaning of FOIA annual report information. In addition, a FOIA Annual Report XML schema has been developed allowing agency FOIA annual report information to be represented and exchanged in a standardized format. This XML schema closely follows the structure and terminology of the guidance document, and conforms to the NIEM standard (http://niem.gov). 

All agency data available through reports and graphs on the http://foia.gov website is also available for public download as XML documents conforming to the FOIA Annual Report XML schema at the link below. This enables any kind of offline processing, storage, comparison, or mashup which may be desired.  

The XML schema files are available at the NIEM IEPD Clearinghouse.
The entire IEPD package may also be downloaded directly by clicking on the following link [Download IEPD].
