  • 1.  CAIRNS - Initial Open Source Release

    Posted 08-18-2008 03:45

    Dear colleagues,

    CAIRNS (Cooperative Alert Information and Resource Notification System), one of the outcomes of work done within the SAFE project [1] at NICTA, has been released today as Open Source under the BSD licence.

    CAIRNS is a demonstrator of technologies that can be used to construct an interoperable CIMS (Crisis Information Management System) architecture. Specifically, CAIRNS implements the following XML-based emergency messaging standards
     - EDXL - Distribution Element
     - EDXL - Resource Messaging
     - Common Alert Protocol (CAP)

    CAIRNS documentation [2] and source [3] are available now.


    Cheers...

    Thanks Renato,
    
    Congratulations!
    
    I will certainly make sure this is announced in the various 
    communities I work with.
    
    I'm about to announce my own EDXL-RM open source project on SourceForge.
    
    The collaborative grou I've been trying to build, the Integrated 
    Response Service Consortium (IRSC) is involved in a Collaborative 
    Expedition Workshop Oct. 7 at NSF in DC. I will include mention of 
    CAIRNS in that venue. Would you like to send a small set of slides, 
    with a script, or, better, would you like to participate? While this 
    is a US-centric, federal inter-agency community, I would like very 
    much to show how the OASIS specifications are gaining international 
    traction. However, the report would need to be short, like a press 
    release or newsbrief to fit in the whole workshop. I think it would 
    be an excellent note to strike, but I would have to get agreement 
    from the convenor, Susan Turnbull of General Services Administration. 
    I'm copying the IRSC group.
    
    Congratulations, Again,
    Rex

    Hi Renato,
    
    Can you, for NICTA if you're not the OASIS representative, give the 
    EM TC a "Statement of Use" for EDXL-RM? We need three of these to 
    move forward to the OASIS-wide approval process?
    
    Cheers,
    Rex
