Default values for ValueListURIs

On the last call I volunteered to do a quick audit of all
ValueListURN elements in the EDXL-DE 1.0 spec and make a spreadsheet so we
could collectively suggest default values (if appropriate) for 2.0.

 

There really is not that much to look at because there are only
6 elements that are currently ValueLists and to simplify even more:

 

4 are all related to “Role” (senderRole,
recipientRole, originatorRole, and consumerRole) 

2 are related to “keywords” (keyword, and
contentKeyword).

 

The spec makes mention of NIEM RoleType in the comments
section of consumerRole. I did a quick search through NIEM 2.1 but could not
find any RoleType lists, only data structure to define a role. If anyone has
more background on what thinking went into this comment please let me know. 

 

I believe that one well specified Emergency Management roles
list would serve as a good default for all 4 Role ValueLists. If we can’t
find one, we should make it a mission to create one because it’s clearly
needed. I know of many event types and object type lists but no role type
lists. If we made the role type list numerical then we could translate it into
multiple languages (or rather someone else could do that over time).
