Subject: RE: [emergency] FW: Inter-Governmental Information Sharing Standards: Meeting March 8
Art,
The only way (from my limited point of view) to leverage the other
standards is to compare them against each other. This will enable us to
identify areas of conflict and any gaps between the standards. I'm not
suggesting we make any determination of which definition is correct but
rather raising the flag of an issue between two or more standards for a
particular term. While the comparison work may be outside the realm of
scope for the EM TC, it is certainly within my responsibility as a
member of NIJ CommTech and CapWIN to ensure the various disciplines can
have data interoperability based on accepted standards.
My findings will be shared with all interested parties so a dialogue may
begin to harmonize (if possible) any uncovered issues. As of this moment
no one has a good view of standards overlap or gaps. I'm sure there are
political and turf boundaries that WILL be crossed. My focus is for the
ultimate end user (first responder) and the well being of the public
that they serve.
Regards,
Tom Merkle
