Hi Renato,

I wish this were an isolated instance, but NIEM is not the first or only place that unfinished OASIS TC specification work has turned up before a TC or working group (OASIS-wide, not just our EM TC) have approved a final document as a standard. One of the problems we are all working through is that the process of standard-writing and the requirements of the end-products are both still moving targets, and the recent addition of a Conformance Section requirement in OASIS is a case in point.

Sigh,
Rex

NIEM is based on the Dublin-Core metadata descriptions (which specify normative definitions) and it has a well defined set of Naming and Design Rules (NDR).   Why do we need to continually re-invent the wheel? 

NIEM 2.0 is a bit confusing!

I looked at the XSD for Emergency Management [1] Domain Schema and can see a lot of the HAVE and RM
elements/attributes already in there.

How did they get in there "so quick" when we have not finished?
