Subject: Re: [emergency] Proposed agenda items for our next TM TC meeting 3-15-14
Just a thought . . .
Since a revision to CAP is being considered, I would encourage thinking
about making CAP more consistent with all of the work done in the IETF community
(http://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/geopriv/)
that has now been accepted by NENA as part of the i3 architecture standards
suite (NextGen 911). Specifically, what is called the Location Object (LO). The
LO supports both civic (e.g. address, mile marker) and geodetic (coordinates)
locations. The IETF GeoPriv community and now NENA have invested considerable
time and consensus building to also develop RFCs (standards) for encoding and
expressing location determination, and so forth. The IETF LO encoding
model and mechanism for coordinates is also consistent with NIEM and the
EDXL/OASIS GML Simple Profile.
A simple description of i3 is here: http://psc.apcointl.org/2012/10/25/designed-from-scratch-a-laymans-description-of-the-nena-i3-end-state-architecture/
A very detailed i3 architecture and standards document is here:
Check out how points are encoded.
Hope this is helpful!
Cheers

Subject: [emergency] Proposed agenda items for our next TM TC
meeting 3-15-14 I have the following items I'd like to propose for discussion at our next
EM-TC meeting:
The current EM-TEC
Client Registry Exchange spec already supports the ability for automated tools
to be able to input the last known location of a client in WGS84 coordinates. To
make this clearer, updated the language of the last_known_location field, as
follows (changed to the original text in bold):
last_known_location (Unicode string,
optional):
A free-form description of the last known location
of the person, which can be expressed as geographical coordinates.
To specify geographic coordinates in this field, give the latitude in decimal
degrees (positive for north), then a comma, then the longitude in decimal
degrees (positive for east) . If this field is present, the text field of this
note (the next field listed below) should describe HOW the person's
location was determined .
text (Unicode string, required):
Free-form text description of the person's current
condition, situation and location details, where they were last seen,
corrections to other information, and so on. In entry forms, a multi-line text
box is appropriate for this field.
Note that we ask all members to send written comments on this issue
to the list to emergency@lists.oasis-open.org (you can reply response to this
email). These comments will be copied to JIRA, which will collect all comments
prior to a final vote on an issue by the TC.
Thanks,
Tony Mancuso |
