Re: [emergency] FW: Suggestion: Add incidentKeyword tocontentObject

[Rex Brooks <rexb@starbourne.com>]

Hi Folks,

However, good a suggestion it might seem, I'm not 
sure the contentObject requires an incidentID, 
since it might not be related to any specific 
incident, or it might refer to several 
simultaneous incidents, and figuring this out is 
not going to be a trivial task.

Ciao,
Rex
