Subject: RE: [emergency] RE: EDXL-DE and misrepresentation in the market
Can we get some specifics so we can know
what we are dealing with? I know that Tim and I are always very careful
to describe where the DE is in the process… Thanks, Lee From: Tom Merkle
[mailto:TMerkle@capwin.org] I echo Carl's observations. This is
occurring in two different market segments and is creating a major obstacle in
trying to obtain consensus on the national level. We need to put a stop to this
or we will spend many hours untangling the confusion. Regards, Tom Merkle CapWIN: www.capwin.org Phone:

OGC Account [mailto:creed@opengeospatial.org] All - I hate to bring issues such as this up to the TC. However, it has come
to my attention that someone is representing EDXL-DE as an
approved OASIS standard in discussions and presentations. The representation as
EDXL-DE as an OASIS standard may not be intentional, just a result of
enthusiasm. Whatever the cause, this misrepresentation is causing confusion in
the market to the extent that they are potential policy implications. Such confusion and misrepresentation does a disservice to
both the draft EDXL-DE specification and the OASIS standards setting
process. Having worked for a standards setting organization for almost 5
years, I am especially sensitive to these situations. I can only ask that we all be careful in how we represent the ongoing
standards work in OASIS. Otherwise, we risk diminishing the effectiveness of
our collaborative standards setting process while at the same time creating
unnecessary conflict and confusion in the marketplace. Carl Reed, PhD The OGC: Helping the World to Communicate Geographically --------------------- This communication, including attachments, is for the exclusive use of addressee
