             Summary: ETL: Insert new section 4.6
                 Key: EMERGENCY-157
                 URL: https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/EMERGENCY-157
             Project: OASIS Emergency Management TC
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: EDXL-CAP 
            Reporter: Jacob Westfall


Insert this new section as 4.6, just prior to the "Other Lists" section which will now be 4.7

4.6 Other Word Forms

Other word forms of a term introduce other possible spectrums to consider. Plural forms, verb forms, ideological forms, etc..., all add extra meaning to a term. For example, âfloodsâ, âfloodingâ, and âfloodedâ all add context to the term flood. As a type however, they do not add to the base term flood. Additionally, the base term flood does not preclude the notion of multiple floods; nor does it imply the state of the flood during the event. These variations do not serve any benefit when comparing events except in exceptional cases. The EMTC is creating a list of event types for general comparisons, not exceptional cases.
