[OASIS Issue Tracker] (EMERGENCY-35) Area Type Designation

[OASIS Issues Tracker <workgroup_mailer@lists.oasis-open.org>]

     [ https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/EMERGENCY-35?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Tomer Petel updated EMERGENCY-35:
---------------------------------

    Proposal: 
Add a "type" attribute to the <area> element that will indicate if this area is the incident area or the targeting area. 

For example, if I have a fire at area designated by polygon P1 but I want to notify people in area polygon P2 about it  (and still convey information about the location of the incident), I could do as follows:

<area type="impact"> <polygon>P1</polygon></area>

<area type="targeting"> <polygon>P2</polygon></area>

Processing software will know that it needs to alert people in P2 and convey information that the fire is happening in P1

> the <area> block in CAP may either refer to the area where the incident is taking place or affecting, or it may refer to people we want to notify about the incident (area we are targeting in the alert). 
> Often times the same area we want to target is also the area of the incident. But sometimes we want to target people who are not in the incident area, but still convey knowledge about the incident area.
