    Subject: GJXDM vs EDXL Distribution isses


    The GJXDM subschema generator is up again today so I ran another
    difference against it
    
    EDXL Distribution has an element "eventType" that is type as an
    enumeration.  
    
    GJXDM has an Type "EventType" wich is a data type for multiple kinds of
    events and has the subelements of EventDate, EventDescriptionText,
    EventName, EventStatus, Event Time, and Event Type Text
    
    These are fundamentally different.  GJXDM uses Type in its naming
    conventions almost exclusively for organizing a data type and not for
    categorization.  
    
    In general the GJXDM uses "code" for ennumerated value sets of all kinds
    and CategoryCode  or TypeCode for classification such as we have in
    EDXL.  This is true even if the code instances are complete words.
    
    To be GJXDM compliant we would probably have to change the "eventType"
    to something more akin to "EmergencyEventTypeCode"
    
    There is probably more of this to come. Your thoughts..............?
