Subject: (Corrected) Minutes of 6/10 Notifications SC meeting
Emergency Management Technical Committee Notifications, Methods and Messaging Subcommittee Meeting Tuesday, June 10, 2003 Attendees: - Ory Warshenbrot - Brian Pattinson - Jerry Weltman - Thomas Bui - John Aerts - Art Botterell Meeting Notes - CAP Element Definitions: The group accepted the reformatting of definitions as proposed by Eliot Christian for ISO 11179 compliance. The group also agreed in principle with some element name changes, and with providing for multiple event category values (pending further discussion of the categorization scheme, see below.) Eliot's definitions incorporate the recommendations from the GIS committee re the area element. Art will circulate an updated data dictionary reflecting those changes. - CAP Event Categories: The group reviewed the issues surrounding an event categorization scheme at some length. Several use cases were identified: - A sensor system generating an alert within its domain - A human operator generating an alert - A message routing system determining correct message delivery - An archival system offering a categorical index of past messages - A minimal text display Various complexities and constraints were identified, including: - Need for simplicity for humans at both input and output - Limits of detailed knowledge about the subject event at time of alert - Apparent (if surprising) lack of a standard all-hazards typology Jerry Weltman volunteered to draft a refined categorization scheme for discussion by the group. Next Meeting The next meeting will be on Tuesday, June 17th at 9:30am PDT/12:30 EDT Dial in: 1.800.453.7412 Access Code: 604776 Respectfully submitted, Art Botterell, SC Chair
