Title: First Working Draft of HM.Requirements
"The Primary Base HumanML Schema MUST
include a HumanIdentifier Element that is compatible with and interoperable with
the U.S. Federal Government standards, standards accepted by a majority of
Public Safety Institutions, Federal, State and Local Law Enforcement
practices,HR-XML specifications, American Medical Association standards and any
standards so designated by the OASIS HumanMarkup Technical Committee. Thus, all
HumanML modules should be compatible with and interoperable with these standards
and recommended practices."
Beginning at the turn of the last
centurythe process of identification in many public
agencies relies not much on pure physical
characteristics (See Bertillon System - anthropometric identification). It relies
typically on
fingerprints and DNA where identification must be absolute. In other
cases, simple processing may rely on a combination of
a current
photo and physical characteristics. The process of identification is
typically matched to the need for correct identification.
There are very precise definitions
extant and publicly available for live scan fingerprint systems and the
information they are required to support. DNA
systems are quite a bit more
complex.
So our
human identifier code elements have to be fairly limited in the primary
schema. Physical characteristics for LE systems will also be a
small
set and not nearly as detailed as they would be for say, medical applications
and perhaps even the VR systems.
Even
the seemingly obvious and simple means such as recording names become
complicated if inherited in a module that has a cultural
component. Anthropometric means are better and biometric means are
best.
