Subject: Re: [emergency] Implementation Guide Outline


Title: Implementation Guide Outline

For the implementation guide does the group see a need for section that would provide guidance and examples on integrating other groups standards, application or content within a CAP message. This would be the equivalent to a CAP binding and profile. For example the OASIS standard on Application Vulnerability provides the ability to create a uniform way of describing application security vulnerabilities. How could such a message be incorporated within a CAP message. I am sure that there are others as well derived from our Category element. This would ensure that CAP is used correctly and provide further examples on its usage.

Does the group also see a need to perhaps provide alternative representations of the CAP standard. We currently use XSD Schema but other standards are also in use such as RELAX NG an OASIS standard. RELAX NG and others (RELAX NG Compact, Schematron for example) are gaining in popularity and may meet the needs of certain implementers. Please find enclosed a RELAX NG first version of the CAP standard.

Subject: [emergency] Implementation Guide Outline

Hi Folks,

This is a first draft, strawman for the implementation or implementer's guide. So please view it as a point of departure. I left out tentative contacts from the justice/law enforcement community that I have already tried to arrange, and our recent discussions on XML examples on the list.

Common Alerting Protocol Implementation Guide Outline

(Note: the first question we need to ask is "What does this audience of implementers need to know?" It is suggested that getting answers from this community is the best way to determine this, so it is also suggested that a method for that be adopted.)
