Subject: EDXL Definition and Mission
My thoughts:
What is EDXL?
* Acronym for Emergency Data Exchange Language
* An emerging set of National Incident Management System (NIMS)
compliant messaging data structures for use in emergency information
sharing
* Sponsored by Industry - Emergency Interoperability Consortium
(EIC) and the ComCARE Alliance
* Facilitated by Government - Department of Homeland Security
(DHS) Disaster Management Program)
* Vetted and standardized by the Organization for Advancement of
Structured Information standards (OASIS) though its Emergency Management
Technical Committee (EM-TC)
What is EDXL Distribution?
* "Distribution" is the first EDXL submission by the EIC/DHS
collaboration to OASIS.
* Its mission is categorization, message routing, and
identification of information content within a geographic area of
interest.
* It is not concerned with information content details. Content
will be the subject of future efforts of the EDXL development process.
EDXL Distribution Core Content
* Message Identification
* Reference Information
* Message Content Identification
* Message Categorization
* Intended Recipient Identification
* Geographic area of interest
