Subject: RM elements - Ross/Jon Skeels
All, I completed some research on the 4 “OwnerInfo”
elements in the RM design. The background information below is presented from
the Wildland Fire / ROSS system perspective. It appears that all 4 elements are “organization”
information. I recommend that “Owner” and “OwningJurisdiction”
be combined into one element as they represent the same thing. “HomeDispatch”
and “HomeUnit are distinct enough to keep. Documentation frequently
uses the term “dispatch unit” generically. “Owner” / “OwningJurisdiction”
Resource Owner Organization.
The organization (government or private) who owns the resource. HomeDispatch Resource Home Dispatch Name - The description used to
identify the dispatch unit that has primary responsibility for maintaining
information on the resource (e.g., (although it’s not totally clear, this element also
appears to be organization info) HomeUnit Resource Home Unit - The description used to identify the
office, district, etc. (organization),
where the resource typically works out of (e.g., Manti-Lasal National
Forest/Sanpete District). •
e.g. When released from the detail
assignment, the resource’s “release-to location” will
be the location designated by the resource’s home unit. •
E.g. Status of “Released”
- The assigned resource has departed the event and has been released to the home unit or reassigned unit. OTHER RELATED INFO - FYI Organization: A company,
office, or agency referenced in ROSS. Includes government and private
organizations. •
Organization has: •
Unit Identifier Code (State
Code + 4-Letter Unit ID) •
Organization Name (e.g. •
Organization Location (City,
State) •
Organization Contact Info (Address,
Phone, Email, FAX, etc.) •
Organization Type (Federal,
State, Private) •
Organization Administrative
Affiliations •
Organization data includes Agency
and Unit Name. Dispatch Organization •
The dispatch office responsible for
obtaining resources to support the incident/project. •
Dispatch Organization (Who
has resource ordering responsibility) •
Requestor The
originating dispatch office •
Provider The
dispatch office with whom the request is placed and/or assigns the resource. --------------------------------------- On the side in reference to our “ResourceMessage”
“Status” – this is how Request Status - A
description of the current state of a request. •
Open Request has been
logged; no action has been taken. •
Pending Request
has been reviewed by the decision maker and some activity has occurred. •
Cancelled The
request has been cancelled by the requestor prior to assignment. •
Selected A
resource has been selected to fill the request, but has not departed. •
Filled-Closed A
request has been filled with a supply item that does not require further
tracking. •
Filled A resource
has been dispatched to fill the request and request will remain active until the
resource has been released. •
Released The
assigned resource has departed the event and has been released to the home unit
or reassigned unit. •
Unable to Fill The
request was not filled due to lack of resources based on availability or management
priorities. Final disposition; request is considered
“closed”. Request Status - Selected vs. Filled •
When a resource is selected to fill
a request, the Request Status is set to “Selected”. The
request status is changed to “Filled” when the resource departs for
the assignment. •
Once Request Status is
“Filled”, the resource is considered “committed” to the
incident and must be released before being selected for another assignment. •
This feature allows the resource to
be shown on an availability list in cases where the reporting date of the first
request is in the future and a second request’s ending dates are prior to
that reporting date. Evolution
