New Mexico District Court XML Interface (XCI)

XCI ('Extensible Markup Language Court Interface' or 'XML Court Interface') is a new initiative which "will allow attorney software provided by vendors or law offices to 'plug in' to a court's electronic filing system." This initiative has been developed through The U. S. District Court, District of New Mexico, with support from The U. S. Bankruptcy Court in New Mexico and New Mexico State Courts. Broadly speaking, it is a technical initiative "designed to facilitate court, law office, attorney, and vendor participation and to substantially increase the volume of electronic filings." In this design, "Messages to and from the court will be in XML (Extensible Markup Language) format. Messages going to the court will be called 'request' messages and messages from the court will be called 'response' messages. These messages will be wrapped in an 'envelope' for delivery, also in XML format. The envelope contains the message which specifies either a request or a response. The envelope is used to authenticate that the message is from a filing attorney (or other submitting authority) that is recognized by the court and doesn't become a permanent part of a filing. The response will also be enclosed in an envelope signed by the court." See the documentation and a press release.

XCI is also "based on New Mexico's current electronic filing system Advanced Court Engineering (ACE) which utilizes Internet web browsers. It requires the electronically submitted document, authentication, security, and minimum identifying information so the document can be indexed and published immediately on the Internet. A good example of a highly successful standard interface is the one used by Internet web browsers (hypertext transport protocol) to unlock global access to information."
