4. Discussed the upcoming FOSE Interop demo opportunity.
OASIS will provide a free booth to participants. Each participant
will be charged $750. That will cover the Internet connection,
literature that is put in all attendee bags, sign-age, etc. Details
about the OASIS support for this can be found at
http://www.oasis-open.org/who/interop_demo_policy.php.
Anyone interested in participating should contact Elysa by 28
Feb.
5. Elysa represented the TC at three meetings in DC Feb 11-17 and a
summary was provided. A presentation was given to the NEMA
Preparedness Committee. This included a description of the
DHS/EIC/OASIS EM-TC requirements to specification process. The MOA
that was signed in January between DHS and EIC was also
highlighted. The current work of the TC was briefed. Several
"outreach" sessions were held during the conference to promote
the work of the EM standards development process during the NEMA
conference. The second meeting was the monthly EIC meeting.
The status of the EDXL Distribution and CAP 1.1 efforts were
presented. The DHS(DM)/EIC is working on the next set of
requirements for EDXL. These are in draft form now and concern the
resource issue. They are identifying the questions to be
asked when a resource is needed in a response situation. They are
also studying the ways resources are typed and trying to build on work
already done in this area. The third meeting was a two day meeting
with persons representing other standards efforts and included DHS (DM)
as well DoJ personalities. The meeting was hosted by DHS(DM) and
was entitled Technical Messaging Discussion. Several members of the
TC were present in addition to the chair, including Sukamar and Tom that
were on this call and Paul Embley. I think we all understand this
is a long term coordination effort that is not the scope of this TC
although we certainly need to stay in touch with the efforts. When
the final minutes of the meeting are available, they will be sent to the
list.
6. CAP 1.1. This document is still being worked.
Everything in the document has already been discussed and agreed to but
the formatting and such details are still underway. As soon as it
is complete, it will be posted for a ballot. Art suggested that
everyone pay particular attention to the description of the digital
signature and encryption sections that have been added to section
3.3.3. We need to determine the schema needs to be adjusted to
reflect these changes or is it ok to keep these comments as an
implementation note.
7. EDXL. Rex submitted the "EDXL Vocabulary Report,
Based on CAP experience with GJXDM" to the list prior to the
meeting. He stated that there seems to be nothing to keep us from
moving forward with the EDXL distribution element as a result.
Elysa will put the specification document together with the changes we
agreed to previously in the routing block section and get this out for a
committee approval vote as soon as possible. Art was concerned
about having both CAP 1.1 and the EDXL spec both in review at the same
time. This was discussed and it was agreed that having the two out
should not be confusing and in fact may help people understand their
uniqueness. A tentative meeting was scheduled for the afternoon
of March 4 for the EDXL working group.
8. Other topics. Dave Ellis expressed concern about systems
using CAP that have many sensors publishing data for the same event and
how that might be handled. There was some discussion of how
applications track these type of items internally. Paying
particular attention item name selection may help confusion.
All were reminded to make their plans to attend the OASIS Conference the
last week of April in New Orleans. Two days of EM-TC face to face
meetings are scheduled (April 27 & 28). If there are any
liaison meetings that may be appropriate to coordinate during that time,
please let the chair know.
9. Tom made a motion to adjourn at 12:00 and Rex
seconded.
Respectfully submitted,
Elysa Jones, Chair
OASIS EM-TC
