Reminder: Meeting Today

[Rex Brooks <rex.brooks@ncoic.org>]

Hi Everyone,

This is a reminder that we have a meeting scheduled today. Even though I 
haven't had time to complete the next stage in the ValueList Ontology, 
we can continue our conversations on the merits of various kinds of 
ontologies, and I can relate how this effort reflects a number of other 
applications and capabilities being explored in NCOIC and locally in the 
FEMA Grant work for Marin County Fire.Chiefs Association. The fact that 
is that our work needs to extend over a wider domain that includes as-is 
data that conforms to no specific categorization or classification 
schemes.This is the same issue that affects the evolving domain of the 
built-environment, e.g. interior spaces, and the transition/interface 
from Geospatial to Building-specific information.

This is not a domain that any one group from the Contractors and 
Architects community to Real Estate Owner/Operators to Emergency 
Management is going to provide the end-all be-all standard. In fact, 
this is a direct challenge to our ValueList and Supporting Elements 
structure.

Cheers,
Rex
