Geo-GIS Subcommittee Call

 

Tom, Carl, Dave, Doug, Rex

 

Discussion of the where "elements" for CAP. Doug described the work going 
on in Canada where CAP messages can be seamlessly translated into GeoRSS Simple, 
KML, etc. Suggests that the perhaps we need a richer geometry set for CAP as 
well as some guidance/best practices on how to integrate CAP content into larger 
workflows that "transform" from CAP to other encodings for say public alerting 
using GeoRSS.

 

Discussion of the need to differentiate between location/where elements for 
presentation (such as event location) as opposed to content (such as a 
building footprint).

 

Discussion on security/authentication. Discussed the results of the OGC Web 
Services 6.0 in terms of alerting and security/authentication. Perhaps a source 
of more use cases. After next week's OGC meetings, a number of presentations, 
videos, and engineering reports to share and provide a basis for discussion in 
the next meeting.

 

Discussion of event layer element for CAP 2.0. The issue is driving CAP 
from a situational awareness perspective and not just the alerting 
perspective.
