Attached are slides
from the briefing on application of EDXL Distribution to the National Alerting
Framework. Since we have an evolving Publication/Subscription
infrastructure, I need to work with Tom Merkle how to explain the theory/best
practices and not over explain implementation details.
In the slides you will
see color coding of EDXL-DE elements and how they are proposed to be used by
Alerting Framework.
- Yellow is only
important for Time to Live and Reply messaging.
- Orange means being
applied at the edge to restrict delivery to authorized
recipients.
- Pink means being used
to assemble Collections of Interest (COI) for core message routing
fabric.
- This is a work in
progress and we have significant findings on valueListUrn creation and
usage.
- Light Blue means a
special case for external distribution systems (e.g. e-mail) or special
Alerting Framework Web services routing (design in progress).
- Dark Blue means
actual Payload (may need to pick a different color).
- The Green is still
being evaluated for functionality (e.g. contentDescription is being used be
Alerting Framework for GIS hover display of in route EDXL DE
contentObjects).
As you can see, the
green IncidentID and incidentDescription have not functionality in either
explicit of Pub/Sub distribution. In fact, if we could predict incidents
in advance and add them to a valueListURN/value pair for determining
distribution during incidents, the TC should go to Las Vegas and win enough
money to retire.
IncidentID should be
assigned by appropriate authority during actual Incidents and used in Payloads
distributed by the EDXL-DE. I believe this was Art’s comment when we added
it.

I'm quite sure everyone is hoping for no more changes to
the EDXL-DE schema at this point. However, as I have begun to work
with the schema in our resourcing prototype, I have observed that
while there are incidentID and incidentDescription elements in the
contentObject, there is no provision to classify the incident using a
valueListURN/value pair.
This would seem to be necessary for
consistency. In other words, if it is a good idea to have an
incidentDescription and incidentID in the contentObject, there should also be an
optional incidentKeyword to classify the incident.
