Friends -
Just FYI... the Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) Working Group has
posted a data dictionary and an object-model diagram for the latest
draft of the CAP alert message format. The version 0.7 documents are
online at:
<http://www.incident.com/cap/docs.html>
An XML schema for the new format is in the works. Meanwhile, work on
refining the format through a combination of expert analysis and
field demonstration continues. Information on the Working Group's
open discussion email list appears on the webpage.
