Subject: Issue: Layers for DE 2.0


One issue/comment raised for the DE 2.0 is whether to include Layers.  (A short description of the Layers concept is found here: https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/emergency/201206/msg00020.html  and a broader description is here: https://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/emergency-rim/download.php/46833/Draft-Environment-Canada-Layer%20(2).doc) 

"Layers" have been proposed as an extension mechanism for EDXL standards. (A draft document summarizing the use of Layers for extensions is found here: https://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/emergency-rim/download.php/47583/EDXL_Extensions_Draft_ver_1.doc and the topic was discussed at the RIM Meeting whose minutes are found here: https://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/emergency-rim/download.php/47603/DRAFT-EDXL-RIM-SC-Mtgnotes-11-29-12.doc)

The suggestion is that "Layers" could serve as an extension mechanism for the DE 2.0 and their use should be considered in addition to, or perhaps in place of, ValueLists. Where ValueLists allow local communities to replace default enumerations with local lists of values, Layers would allow for local values to be included as additional information rather than overriding default enumerations.
