RE: [emergency] OJP requirement to use the jxdm

["Bullard, Claude L (Len)" <len.bullard@intergraph.com>]

So:

Grant money requires JXDM compliance and CAP is not JXDM 
so compliance with JXDM is not required when implementing CAP?

Public safety companies want to know.  The lack of objections 
does not close the requirement for compliant deliverables. 
Of the documents posted, which are the Records of Authority 
governing the procurement transactions?

Hey Gary (et al),

Allen is correct about the fact that the CAP effort is not funded by OJP.
Some/many (can't recall off the top of my head how many) of the efforts
utilizing CAP receive some amount of OJP funding, and I've not heard of any
who have objected to the grant language.  I know for most of those grants
the language was the old "OJP *may* require compliance" vs. the newer
language which I believe is less vague.

Both Ken Gill (OJP) and I have been discussing that we need to do a better
job of reaching out to the CAP community.  Your e-mail gives us reason to do
more than talk about it, so appreciate you monitoring and reaching out to
the CAP community.

Also wanted to note that Art's message is correct as well.  We started from
the same base, then didn't remain as active in each other's efforts as maybe
we should have.  Nothing that can't be resolved with better communication.

Thanks again!

I believe you've missed the point. They have defined compliance in the
context of how a schema is constructed and stated that this someone will
promote interoperability. They then require "compliance" for all OJP funded
projects that use XML. In effect, if you don't follow their guidelines for
constructing a schema based upon the jxdm, you are not compliant.

There may have been CAP implementations funded by various groups, but 

the efforts of this Technical Committee at OASIS is funded by no one 

other than the members dedicating their time and any resources they so 

do choose. In short, we are an open standards committee that is not 

directed by any other group.

Good question though - Allen
