Description
At the Feb 20, 2014 meeting of the Reference Information Model
Subcommittee, the members discussed the following topics:


1.TOPIC: NIEM Adapters ? Is there an easy way to reuse external standards
like EDXL CAP 1.2 in the National Information Exchange Model (NIEM)? Answer
? Yes. Lizzie presented slides describing the NIEM Adapter, which is a
simple and flexible mechanism for integrating external standards into NIEM.
Rex and Jeff will follow the example provided by Lizzie to create NIEM 1.2
and DE 2.0 adapters to discuss at the next RIM meeting.

2. TOPIC: EDXL Role-Playing Game ? Is there interest in developing a
role-playing ?game? that would educate and train people on the importance
and use of the EDXL standards? Answer: Yes. Rex described the ongoing
discussions with NCOIC and other partners interested in pursuing this
opportunity. Selection of an appropriate game engine is a key next step.
Brian will consult with Mitre?s game engine experts and provide any
information or recommendations gleaned from their experience.

3. TOPIC: EDXL in Smart Devices White Paper ? What are the next steps for
developing a white paper describing the importance and benefits of the
entire family of EDXL standards to the everyday person impacted by an
emergency? Answer: Rex explained that the Adoption and Best Practices group
is ready to assist with this effort. Jeff recommitted to providing an
initial draft by next meeting which could jumpstart this work.

4. TOPIC: Reference Information Model Next Steps ? What should be our next
steps for advancing our Reference Information Model? Answer: Rex suggested
the OASIS SOA Reference Model could be a guide and a free mind-map tool
might be appropriate to get started. Jeff had previously mentioned the HL7
RIM as an example. Before our next meeting, everyone should consider these
examples as needed and be prepared at our next meeting to share any
insights or recommendations on tools or approaches.
