RE: [emergency] EDXL Schema and Test message

["Ham, Gary A" <hamg@BATTELLE.ORG>]

Title: Message

Couple of minor errors:

 

"Payload"  should not be a schema element.  It sould be "cap:alert" for cap messages at that point and "x:whatever" for other content.

We will need to add the targetArea portion of the schema.  Did we decise to go with exactly the same structure as CAP or ????

Since I left early, I created an EDXL Distribution Schema and a sample message.  This was a useful exercise and it pointed out several issues which we need to discuss in the next EDXL Emergency Management TC meeting.  If the DTRA money does not show up soon, I am concerned management will not see the value of my continued Oasis participation.  This is the fourth trip this year on PD funding and DTRA is yet to fund my efforts.  This is particularly troublesome since anyone can use the CAP 1.1 schema and I have been representing DoD interests for the last five months without DoD funding.  Please post these to the appropriate TC EDXL document area and maybe Tom Merkle, Rex Brooks or Kon Wilms could check these out with there schema validating software.  I use Visual studio 2003 to create them.
