CAP also facilitates the detection of emerging patterns in local warnings of various kinds, such as might indicate an undetected hazard or hostile act. 5. A statement regarding the relationship of this specification to similar work of other OASIS TCs or other standards developing organizations The only known relationships to other standards are inclusions and references noted in the Normative References section of the specification, and the expectation that in the future CAP may become a component of a larger framework, such as the Emergency Data Exchange Language. 6.
