    Subject: EDXL/CAP Survey


    Something to chew on.   This week I received 
    a COMCARE survey for information on EDXL/CAP 
    implementations, customers, populations served, etc. 
    I have to reply that as of this time, we have 
    no information about that to be released. 
    
    As mentioned previously, public safety is an 
    RFP-driven business.   Requirements that don't 
    show up in at least three separate RFPs aren't 
    likely to be implemented soon if ever.  How 
    is this group and its supporters in government 
    working to see to it that these specifications 
    and standards are introduced commercially to 
    the public safety industry through procurement 
    processes?
    
    Are there papers that explicitly illustrate where 
    these standards fit into the product mix that an 
    agency would be acquiring when purchasing say 
    Dispatch, police, fire and EMT records systems?
    
    Who declares a situation that would result in 
    an EDXL/CAP message being broadcast?  Who receives 
    it and under what jurisdiction?
    
    We've discussed some of these topics briefly in the 
    past, but I think that before we will see these 
    standards in more than one or two very large 
    procurements, the procurement officials need help 
    with the requirements language.  I see mentions of 
    GJXDM but little of EDXL/CAP.
