Description
This paper provides a basic introduction to the Distribution Element 2.0
(DE2), one of the important OASIS EDXL standards for emergency management
and response. As with the earlier version, the DE2 serves the same two
primary purposes: (1) the DE2 allows an organization to wrap important
pieces of emergency information into a single easy-to-distribute XML
"package", and (2) the DE allows an organization to "address" the package
in flexible ways to support intelligent routing, including specifying
recipients by role, by geographic area, or by keywords. With the DE,
organizations can use standardized lists of roles or keywords, or their own
lists for additional flexibility and tailoring. This version of the DE
expands the ability to use local community-defined terms, uses a profile of
the Geographic Markup Language (GML), follows best practices for naming
conventions, provides the capability to link content objects, and is
reorganized for increased flexibility and reuse of common types.
Fortunately, the DE is a simple, concise standard. This paper describes
the DE version 2.0, highlighting changes from the original version. After
reading this short paper, the reader will be ready to begin using the DE.
