Subject: Re: [sia-pilot6] [emergency] EDXL-DE routing and valueListUrn


I don't think Carl misunderstood that different valueListUrns are 
possible. Of course, I could be wrong, but I doubt it. I think Carl's 
concern is that some people may think that Dave's proposal was for a 
single valueListUrn. I do not think Dave is doing that. I think Dave 
is responding to the call for various groups to start producing, 
publishing and maintaining these necessary valueListUrns so that we 
can start using them in EDXL_DE routed messages.

All of the international groups and constituencies mentioned need to 
be informed that it is now incumbent upon them to provide these 
semantic resources so that their systems, be they SensorNets or 
weatherAlerts, can be properly connected through our Emergency 
Response Networks.

Ciao,
Rex
