Subject: RE: Draft Copy for Review...
|
Hi Jane, Great job! Just a few nits: I’d remove this line ‘While we
will never leave anyone behind” In
this line, ‘Come witness real-world interoperability demonstrations and
listen to the experts on what interoperability actual means to the public.’
Change actual to actually.’ In this line add, “* national and
international government officials” Add ‘policy maker and legislators’ to Audience list. Shouldn’t we add ITU to list of orgs to include? W3C and
IETF have working groups involved in emergency standards; do we want to reach
out to them? Thanks,
From: Jane Harnad
[mailto:jane.harnad@oasis-open.org] Hello – I haven’t received any comments
from anyone yet. I’d like to have a final draft ready to be reviewed by
the other committees by this Friday. Please send comments before out next
call, if possible. Thank you, Jane From: Jane Harnad
[mailto:jane.harnad@oasis-open.org] Hello Everyone, Below is the
promised draft announcement copy for the upcoming event. Please review
and forward any and all comments no later than COB Monday. Thanks, Jane Emergency
Interoperability “Coordinating
Response Through Open Standards” 29 & 30
September 2009 This fall, OASIS will be launching
the first annual “Emergency Interoperability Summit”. This event, hosted
at the NIST facility in At this event, industry experts will
demonstrate that there is much to be gained from their interoperability, not
only in terms of cost and operational effectiveness for the EM community, but
also in terms of marketability and access to a broader market for tool
developers. To achieve mutual connectivity, tools must adhere to agreed upon
rules about protocols and data formats, with clearly defined semantics. To
facilitate wide scale interoperability, such rules must be defined by
independent bodies and must be accessible publicly as open standards. Highlighted will be the work being
done by OASIS, as part of a coherent framework for EM interoperability in an
effort to incite members from the world wide EM community, industry,
institutions and government agencies to join our on-going standardization
efforts. This work includes: l
the Common Alerting Protocol (CAP),
an Open Standard for Alert and Warning Messages in any medium; l
the Emergency Data Exchange Language
(EDXL) Family, a set of Open Standards for Emergency IT that provides an
workable interoperability framework through: a
Distribution Element (EDXL-DE) Specification that makes packaging and
distributing any kind of Digital Emergency Communication Payload or set of
payloads possible in a uniform way; a Resource
Messaging (EDXL-RM) Specification that provides the means for a uniform method
of arranging and accounting for logistical operations that allows responders to
do their jobs while the resources are managed as automatically as possible; a Hospital
AVailability Exchange (EDXL-HAVE) Specification that provides the means for a
uniform method of reporting a snapshot of available healthcare facilities,
equipment and personnel during emergencies; and, work is
underway on a Situation Reporting (EDXL-SitRep) Specification that will provide
the means for a uniform method of reporting critical information for EM
decision making in the most timely way. It's an exciting time to join a new
kind of movement and community dedicated to continuously improving Emergency
Management throughout the entire lifecycle of emergency incidents: l from
planning and preparations through l response
operations and l remediation
operations to l after action
analysis and evaluation leading to a new cycle of l improved
planning and preparations and so on. While we will never leave anyone
behind, it's a great time to join the community and start making a
difference. OASIS and the Emergency Management Member Section invites all
levels of government organizations internationally along with emergency
managers and those from the vendor community to join us this fall at our
first annual Summit. It is important for OASIS to help bridge the gap
between first responders, government agencies and the vendor community. This is
a chance for all to see what is in development and a chance for stakeholders to
express their actual needs. Come witness real-world interoperability
demonstrations and listen to the experts on what interoperability actual means
to the public. Draft Audience List
– by job title… * disaster planning and preparedness managers Any others? Maybe something reaching those in
the international community? Not sure about… ****volunteers, firefighters,
