John,

Thank you for your answer. Our proposals for v5 may be seen as a first step in that direction, and we can continue working on this.

Regards,

Certainly 520 can be used for media communication although we always envisaged that it would need to be extended or other schemas developed to meet those needs, as Johan says because they may require additional information. At the time we didn't have any clear requirements for this so left it for future consideration. These extra needs may be very different from country to country and therefore may have to be local extensions. However perhaps if you and Johan could copy your versions to the TC we could see how much commonality there is and consider that for the next release of EML.

Bernard,

For the Flemish we used EML520 for communication to the media, but we added some specific EML documents containing documents for aggregations and comparisons. I would not think that EML520 was only intended for "internal" usage. As you state Media need other views on the results. Maybe EML can be extended to accommodate for this.

But while we are at this, we used EML520 on 2 levels a partly result and a complete result, and as far as I can recall it was not intended for that either.

John,

A question from my colleagues here: can we confirm that communication of the results to the media is also in scope of EML, by using the 520 schema? I would think so, but I'd prefer to check with you.
The question comes from the fact that the media appear to have other information needs about the elections (comparisons with previous elections for example) than those of governments.

Thank you in advance for your feedback.

Bernard
