Hi Folks, We have a meeting scheduled for tomorrow. The PIN in the Calendar for the event should work. I think we should concentrate on the current set of candidates for the CommonTypes other than Estimate and Remarks which we know are set to be included.I'm copying Werner's table on their occurences, and I think we should also consider the logical consequences of the evolving EDXL model for these elements. I don't suggest we attempt to make a decision tomorrow but to look at them from as many viewpoints as we think are needed to give them a fair hearing. If we get through that, and approving previous meeting notes, we can move on to the samples Jeff sent us from CAP v1.2 wrt EDXL Data Model. I had hoped I would have had a chance to build the foundation for the logic of components I was hoping to, but unless I manage to roll out of the rack early tomorrow morning, that's unlikely. We should also use this as an opportunity to fine-tune the process Werner has laid out for this. From Werner's email on the topic: Here are the documents that I [Werner] reviewed: a) Don's DefaultValueList b1) SitRep spec. b2) SitRep schema c1) CAP 1.2 spec. c2) CAP 1.2 schema d1) DE 2.0 spec. d2) DE 2.0 schema e1) RM spec. e2) RM schema Looking for the following terms (data elements): Urgency, Priority, Confidence, Certainty, Severity. This table lists the occurrence of these data elements in the considered documents Urgency Priority Confidence Certainty Severity a) y n n n y b1) y n ReportConf. n y b2) y n y y c1) y n n y y c2) y n n y y d1) n n n n n d2) n n n n n e1) n n n n n e2) n n n n n So here are some interesting points/questions - Priority does not appear anywhere. Is Priority = Urgency ? So should we rather consider adding Urgency to CommonTypes? - Confidence appears only in SitRep, as ReportConfidence , so is Confidence = ReportConfidence? If not, why the urge to add it to CommonTypes - Is there any correlation between Confidence and Certainty - note that Certainty appears in the SitRep xsd, but not in the data dictionary - Although we have not talked about it yet, Severity has all the good signs for a CommonTypes candidate, just like Urgency Conclusion: before we proceed with adding any of these elements to CT, let's clarify their roles and mutual relationships, at least in the context of the documents reviewed. Cheers, Rex
