Subject: RE: [emergency-adopt-events] Revised Draft Text for Emergency Interoperability Summit Announcement -- for review
Patrick,
My primary motivation for suggesting the removal of the term "data" was the insight that interoperability does not only require data standardization, but also protocols, i.e. agreed upon sequences of standardized data structures. Werner

Thank you for all of your work on preparation for the fall EI Summit.
I just now have finally had time to read through your draft of 12 June.
While I am all in favor of crisp, pithy title, I feel that the abbreviated sub-title loses some important information. You have cut it from: “Demonstrating Emergency Response Coordination through Open Data Standards” To: “Coordinating Response through Open Standards”
As has been stated before, In the Emergency Management arena, many of the government (fed, state, local) people and first responder people view interoperability as referring to the issue of interoperability of radios using different frequencies for transmission of voice dialog. Thus, it is important to emphasize that this event is focused on the issue of DATA interoperability. Thus, I would suggest that the word “data” be added back into the sub-title, so it would read. “Coordinating Response through Open Data Standards”
Also below: 1st para: why make a negative reference to a “fractured market”. We should emphasize the emerging market of interoperable solutions. See edits below.
Also, I added some US govt agencies and organizations to whom we should reach out.

Hello Everyone – below is the latest version of our fall event announcement. Please review and forward comments, as well as send around to potential members of the audience. Kind regards, Jane
Emergency Interoperability Summit: “Coordinating Response through Open Data Standards”
29 & 30 September 2009
This fall, OASIS will be launching the FIRST ANNUAL “Emergency Interoperability Summit”. This event, hosted at the (TBA facility), will take place on the 29 & 30 of September 2009. The Summit will showcase
At this event, industry experts will demonstrate that there is much to be gained from
The OASIS Emergency Management standards will be
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 a 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.
It's a great time to join the community and start making a difference. OASIS and the Emergency Management Member Section invite
