Title: XML2004-Proposals4Multiple, Interrelated
Presentations
Fellow List Members:
First let me apologize for the inevitable
duplication which some of you with similar interests will find in your
inboxes as a result of this post. As the addressee list shows, I am
targeting a fairly wide audience for this message. So, if you know of
relevant potential participants that might be interested, feel free to
inform me of that even if you are not personally
motivated.
This is a request for potential partners for developing some
independent but interrelated papers-presentations-demonstrations
featuring combinations of standards working together in ways that
demonstrate the principle of added value through mutual reinforcement
in addition to the interopeability of vocabularies and data.
The motivation for this stems largely from my own current
participation in OASIS, as well as past and future participation in
the other standards bodies. I hope that by providing information on
what I am specifically doing, the more general request for more
combined presentations-papers-demonstrations which leverage the
overall concept of "Connecting the Dots" will be more
clearly understood.
The first venue for my own presentation is currently not determined,
since I need to get a better idea of whether this will be a single
presentation or two or even three. For me, personally, it will be only
one, but there very well may be enough response to this call for
partners that it will need to be expanded. This will be made clear
momentarily.
Regardless, I will attempt to secure a first venue for a possible
early initial presentation and demonstration at a monthly meeting of
the xml.gov working group in the range of July-Aug-Sept or one of the
several related cross-discipline workshops and conferences currently
fueling the Federal Enterprise Architecture Program in general and the
Emerging Technologies Components field in particular.
The second venue, which needs abstract submissions by May 7 is XML2004
in Washington, D.C. in November.
I am definitely NOT asking for any kind of one-size-fits-all approach.
What I would like to see is simply a leveraging of the interrelated
standards available today or those standards close enough to being
submitted for approval such that it is not necessary to emphasize that
this or that particular specification already has or does not have
approval as a standard. I am personally using approved standards
because I am emphasizing that point, but I do not want to be
misunderstood about this. I think it needs to be shown that more is
coming as well as what has been achieved to date. So at least one of
these presentations might do well to emphasize the on-going and
evolving lifecycle of specifications and standards.
However, let me be specific.
The presentation I am working on and hope to present will be featuring
CAP, the Common Alerting Protocol, which OASIS will announce has been
approved as an OASIS standard next week. It would be appreciated
if mention of this outside this addressee list were held back until
after OASIS issues its traditional press release. This announcement
coincides with the yearly OASIS Symposium in New Orleans. The
Symposium's theme is "Reliable Infrastructure."
In addition to CAP, which I worked on from the time that the Emergency
Management TC was formed, I also will be highlighting Portal-Portlet
technology through my similar soup-to-nuts participation in the
development of WSRP, Web Services for Remote Portlets, written by the
WSRP TC and approved as a OASIS standard last August.
My presentation, paper and demonstration will include participation by
(subject to change, with the understanding that 'perhaps' means 'not
confirmed') and/or demonstration of:
* the Interoperability Testing Service of DHS Science and
Technology Office's Disaster Management Interoperability Service,
DMIS, and how its services are being developed;
* two mid-tier IT vendors
with specific applications employing the specifications being
highlighted;
* perhaps one or possibly more top
tier providers of platform level, integrated, web services-based,
enterprise-wide IT solutions depending on the usual list of suspects
for such collaborations (NDAs, developer program terms,
etc.);
* perhaps the
Web3D Consortium's Medical Working Group or members of such
representing themselves or their affiliated organizations;
* members of the OASIS Emergency
Management TC, the WSRP TC, the HumanMarkup TC; and,
* Humanmarkup.org, Inc., a Non-Profit
501 (c)(3) Corporation.
* security through SAML. XACML and
WSS;
* discovery and registration through ebXML Registry
Information Model with
Registry-Repository and UDDI; as well as,
* WSA, Web Services Addressing,
from WS-I, with perhaps the Basic Profile of WS-I.
This message demonstrates that several other potential partners are
also being contacted, so if your work fits anywhere within this
framework and you would like to participate, I would appreciate it you
to reply to this message (and to have both patience and perseverance
since I will be wrestling with the abstract for this over the next
week or so).
The current working title of this demonstration, paper and
presentation is: "Soup to Nuts, Connecting the Dots for Emergency
Responders." It will feature an Emergency Incident(s) Scenario
with multiple CAP messages showing some connection among simultaneous
or nearly simultaneous incidents as well as some causally-related,
subsequent, compounding incidents.
It will show how:
* Emergency
Managers can use CAP in their operations to respond to the emergencies
and get primary basic information to its responding personnel in the
field;
* It will show how this can be coordinated
with public alerts;
* It will also show follow-on information
provided by third party vendors and participants, specifically to
demonstrate a "Common Operational Environment, COE" with
various presentation layer components such as:
-
multiple views of maps arranged as overlays on a common base map,
(especially using a common emergency symbology currently being
developed),
- 3D conversions of map systems,
-
real time information flow to responders along with real time update
of on-scene information from responders quickly but carefully applied
to updating the COE.
In addition to the COE, we will endeavor to show a medical informatics
system which can aid in remote diagnosis and treatment, and even
simultaneous remote chart entry for individuals being treated. This
component may not be available in a fully functional application by
the time of the presentation and will be indicated in the abstract as
an option subject to those conditions.
I will also be adding a brief plug for recruiting participants in the
HumanMarkup TC's work on Human Physical Charateristics Description
Markup Language, HPCDML Subcommittee, hopefully highlighting some of
the work of North Dakota State University's Archeology Technologies
Laboratory, http://atl.ndsu.edu through James Landrum's work, and
their Xj3D viewer used in the Digital Archive Network for Anthropology
and World Heritage, DANA-WH. James is co-chair of HPCDML SC which aims
to provide crosswalks and interoperability reconciliation among
anatomical systems, archeological and anthropological systems, medical
informatics, and other disciplines as well as mundane descriptions of
humans by public health and public safety-related agencies and
enterprises.
The Theme for XML2004 is "Solution to Syntax." My personal
interest is to show everything live online, although the scenarios for
CAP will, hopefully, not be live.
To see a 60-slide presentation on an earlier phase of this development
given to the Enterprise Architecture Collaboration Expedition Workshop
#30 sponsored by GSA 9 Dec. 2003:

Yes, it is ambitious, but it is time to connect the dots.
Regards,
Rex Brooks
