Subject: Re: [emergency] Groups - ICS-201-draft0.2.xsd uploaded
We can do that in XForms, but before we do anything, we need to find out if DHS thinks we should, and in fact, having worked on it, and having looked through the NIMS-90 document, I'm not at all sure we should take on this work unless asked. But as for the XSD v. XForms issue, I would recommend compatible versions of both within the same spec for a couple of reasons, mainly that it is almost guaranteed that there will be a need to dynamically update the information using a telephonic and/or wireless connection so conversion/translation into VXML and/or WML seems inevitable and ought to be included in the overall plan from the outset. That overall plan is for DHS to set forth, so I think we need to get in touch with Steve Cooper or someone at DHS on this. We have both a history with them, and a need for an ongoing connection/liaison with them. The question is what is the most appropriate approach to make contact and who should do this. That's both a personal contact and/or organizational jurisdiction question. I don't have an answer for that, but I suggest asking Jamie Tuesday, and also seeing if either Tom Merkle or Gary Ham can suggest a good approach. Ciao, Rex At 2:09 PM -0500 4/1/04, R.
