Title: [emergency-gis] RE: Revised EM Symbology
Requirements
Thanks for the this terrific and timely work, Carl,
I think this gives us a good jump start. I think a slight
addition at the start to include "...consistent national and/or
international..." would be a good idea to introduce the full
scope of our work at the outset. It should then be apparent that our
first priority is working on what we can get our hands and minds
around right now, so it shouldn't be necessary to add more than
that.
Overall I'm very happy with this, to the extent that I think it
would now be a good idea if next week we take it to the TC and say
that we would like to start distributing it, perhaps even at the
Conference in D.C. to get feedback from the groups we want to be
interoperating with in the EM field.
In particular I would like to see if we can nudge some of the
features we mention in our use cases into operation sooner rather than
later, even if on an ad hoc basis momentarily. There is a simultaneous
meeting elsewhere in D.C of the xml working group which Russell, whom
was the designated presenter for our COG at the DMIS CAP Demo before
we decided to pull out due to lack of time and overcommitment. He will
be making contacts that should prove valuable in the governmental
sector.
However, I did want to note that our demo is still scheduled to
proceed forward, so that my use case may be able to demonstrated, with
appropriate maps in the not-too-distant future. We are taking
advantage of our delay to assemble a more long-term and full-strength
team for this work. We look to be fielding some fairly impressive
resources if all goes well, and I see no particular reason why it
shouldn't. It is just too good a PR opportunity, and I will saying
more about that next week, too. We are in one area of the economy
where I doubt that there are any political pitfalls for outreach, so
whoever we approach can be assured that this is a win for everyone all
the way around.
Now that I am emerging from under the avalanche of meetings and
work and that stupid cold, I am discovering that we seem to have
landed in a right nice little patch of opportunities.
Ciao,
Rex
