    That is clear.  Thank you, Paul.
    
    We work in a world of overlapping specifications, thus 
    mixed requirements.  Wherever a specification is cited 
    as a procurement item, the Record of Authority to govern 
    that procurement must be cited in the contract (likely 
    by URI and a versioning mechanism).  
    
    If such citation incurs confused requirements, 
    the procuring authority must govern the resolution and 
    amend the ROA.
    
    Given the depth of our XML specifications and the likelihood 
    of overlaps, that can be a hard job.  I note the W3C is working 
    the versioning problems for XML and others are working versioning 
    problems for ontologies.

    As far as grant specific guidelines, since I don't work directly for OJP I
    don't feel qualified to answer.
    
    That said, here is my opinion (which only matters to my dog).  Re: someone
    implementing CAP without OJP funding, there isn't any compliance with JXDM
    to discuss.  If someone implements a system with CAP and JXDM, compliance is
    optional for those doing the implementation, unless funding is coming from
    OJP, then the implementation is governed by the grant guidelines unless
    specific exemptions are granted.  Not sure I answered the question, but
    hopefully this is clear.
    
    I believe most of the public safety companies, especially those involved in
    the Integrated Justice Working Group (iwg.ijis.org) have determined it is
    easier to build their systems to be fully compliant than to do one compliant
    and another not.

    So:
    
    Grant money requires JXDM compliance and CAP is not JXDM 
    so compliance with JXDM is not required when implementing CAP?
    
    Public safety companies want to know.  The lack of objections 
    does not close the requirement for compliant deliverables. 
    Of the documents posted, which are the Records of Authority 
    governing the procurement transactions?

    Hey Gary (et al),
    
    Allen is correct about the fact that the CAP effort is not funded by OJP.
    Some/many (can't recall off the top of my head how many) of the efforts
    utilizing CAP receive some amount of OJP funding, and I've not heard of any
    who have objected to the grant language.  I know for most of those grants
    the language was the old "OJP *may* require compliance" vs. the newer
    language which I believe is less vague.
    
    Both Ken Gill (OJP) and I have been discussing that we need to do a better
    job of reaching out to the CAP community.  Your e-mail gives us reason to do
    more than talk about it, so appreciate you monitoring and reaching out to
    the CAP community.
    
    Also wanted to note that Art's message is correct as well.  We started from
    the same base, then didn't remain as active in each other's efforts as maybe
    we should have.  Nothing that can't be resolved with better communication.
    
    Thanks again!

    I believe you've missed the point. They have defined compliance in the
    context of how a schema is constructed and stated that this someone will
    promote interoperability. They then require "compliance" for all OJP funded
    projects that use XML. In effect, if you don't follow their guidelines for
    constructing a schema based upon the jxdm, you are not compliant.

    There may have been CAP implementations funded by various groups, but 
    
    the efforts of this Technical Committee at OASIS is funded by no one 
    
    other than the members dedicating their time and any resources they so 
    
    do choose. In short, we are an open standards committee that is not 
    
    directed by any other group.
    
    Good question though - Allen
