RE: CAP Developers' Forum, reply requested

>First, I would appreciate it those of you who are willing to 
participate would reply, it would be helpful for me to use in the 
discussion we will have of this in next Tuesday's Messaging SC 
meeting.

I'm in. My Yahoo IM is konfoo. 

I've attached a screenshot of the CAP client I'm developing (a picture
speaks a thousand words). This is a broadcast client - all data is
received without connecting back to a headend or retrieving data via the
internet. The streaming video window is black since it is an overlay.
Yes it *does* use the schema to parse data ;-) Some of the data is not
CAP related, so please ignore.

A few questions for other implementers:

1. Is anyone else working on data visualization of mass amounts of CAP
alerts (such as treemaps, hyperbolic graphs, spatial trees, or such)? 

2. I would be interested to hear from the GIS folks as to what formats
they are using for vector data importing/plotting. If no-one is
implementing GIS as part of an application, are there any guidelines for
supporting GIS file formats in CAP reception/parsing (or do we need
some)?

Cheers
Kon
