CAP in Taiwan

Dear TC -

Last week I had the opportunity to visit the Taiwan National Science and Technology Center for Disaster Reduction (NCDR). They provided a presentation on 2015 development plans. They are looking to integrate the use of CAP into their alerting infrastructure. They have developed a Taiwan profile for CAP – partly driven by the need to support additional coordinate reference systems (CRS) beyond WGS 84. I suggested that they join the OASIS discussion on the current CAP revision requirements and thoughts. Some in the Government also want to use CAP for messaging applications beyond alerting. I suggested that would probably not be a good idea given the original requirements and use cases for CAP.

Cheers
