Patti,

I tried sending this message to the group, but the list server rejected my message. Could you forward, please?

I'm quite sure everyone is hoping for no more changes to the EDXL-DE schema at this point. However, as I have begun to work with the schema in our resourcing prototype, I have observed that while there are incidentID and incidentDescription elements in the contentObject, there is no provision to classify the incident using a valueListURN/value pair.

This would seem to be necessary for consistency. In other words, if it is a good idea to have an incidentDescription and incidentID in the contentObject, there should also be an optional incidentKeyword to classify the incident.

Regards,

Mark Carlson
