    Subject: EDXL-DE routing and valueListUrn


    ALL
    
    I have a reasonably mature strategy for creating valueListUrn lists and
    how they can be used to deploy a national architecture for Alerting and
    Warning.  I have been trying to develop this to support Chips Disaster
    Management efforts (e.g. EDXL-RM) and to allow for national sensor
    capabilities (e.g. DNDO) to have the EDXL-DE routing system (execution
    context) which provides the following capabilities:
    
    1. Allow for establishment of Communities of Interest (COIs) where
    appropriate authority can establish roles of entities, information
    routing rules between them and issue certificate to ensure
    authentication and authorization.
    2. Permit interaction between COIs to instantiate robust MOUs enforced
    by execution context allowing creation of national information grid.
    3. Permit secure delivery of multiple levels of sensitive information
    via signing, encryption and labeling within the EDXL-DE.
    4. Allow abstraction of the implementation details (what) so national
    planners can implement various operational concepts (documented in
    DoDAF, FEA etc.) with minimal confusion on "how" it is accomplished.
    
    I have tried to engage NIEM for over one year to explain these concepts
    without success.  There is finally understanding between the various
    standards organization on how important this is to major government
    implementations.  On the other hand, major information providers are
    claim our capabilities either don't exist or have never been
    demonstrated.  Both are not true and in fact the EDXL-DE is being used
    in an operational system within the DoD.  Unfortunately, it is not
    branded as EDXL-DE since we have not issued the EDXL-DE OASIS standard
    yet.
    
    I need as many of the organization implementing EDXL-DE to attempt
    sending outputs from your applications to the developing EDXL-DE routing
    capability at NuParadigm in Saint Louis or our capability at Sandia
    National Laboratories.  Also, a generic ability to wrap CAP messages in
    EDXL has been created and we need to discuss the security implications
    of doing this from local applications or by the "execution context" for
    legacy/warning-only CAP applications.
    
    I need to be able to list all the capabilities of your applications even
    if they use explicated routing (e.g. DMIS COGs) and have no security
    capability.  The design of our governments emerging national
    capabilities is moving at lighting speed and EDXL-DE capabilities needs
    to be a substantial portion of it.  Attached are two briefings present
    this past week on sensor routing.

    Yes, that is a good point.  I too want us to start coming up with these 
    "managed lists" knowing full well that NIEM wont be providing us
    anything 
    in the near term.  I had thought too that we could use the event list, 
    incident type, etc. that were provided in the original draft hand off as
    a 
    starting place.  Maybe we should put these in examples and put them in
    the 
    cookbook?  I too think the Govt agencies will not step up to this for
    some 
    time and I am glad the registry is being developed in the pilot.  We do 
    need another company though that can sign up for the "use" for the 
    committee specification phase.  I seem to be focused most these days on 
    jumping through the hoops for ratification.  Regards, Elysa
