The XML-based Emergency Data Exchange Language (EDXL) Situation Reporting specification describes a set of standard reports and elements that can be used for data sharing among emergency information systems, and that provide incident information for situation awareness on which incident command can base decisions. This is an OASIS deliverable, completed and approved by the TC and fully ready for testing and implementation.

The Emergency Data Exchange Language (EDXL) is a broad initiative to create an integrated framework for a wide range of emergency data exchange standards to support operations, logistics, planning and finance. This draft specification joins the other EM-TC standard efforts including: - EDXL Common Alerting Protocol (EDXL-CAP) - EDXL Distribution Element (EDXL-DE) - EDXL Hospital AVailability Exchange (EDXL-HAVE) - EDXL Resource Messaging (EDXL-RM) - EDXL Reference Information Model (EDXL-RIM) - EDXL Situation Reporting (EDXL-SitRep) - EDXL Tracking Emergency Patients (EDXL-TEP) URIs: The prose specifications and related files are available here: Editable source (Authoritative):
