Description
This paper provides a basic introduction to the Distribution Element 2.0  (DE2), one of the important OASIS EDXL standards for emergency management  and response. As with the earlier version, the DE2 serves the same two  primary purposes: (1) the DE2 allows an organization to wrap important  pieces of emergency information into a single easy-to-distribute XML
package , and (2) the DE allows an organization to  address  the package  in flexible ways to support intelligent routing, including specifying  recipients by role, by geographic area, or by keywords. With the DE,  organizations can use standardized lists of roles or keywords, or their own  lists for additional flexibility and tailoring. This version of the DE  expands the ability to use local community-defined terms, uses a profile of  the Geographic Markup Language (GML), follows best practices for naming  conventions, provides the capability to link content objects, and is  reorganized for increased flexibility and reuse of common types.
Fortunately, the DE is a simple, concise standard.  This paper describes  the DE version 2.0, highlighting changes from the original version. After  reading this short paper, the reader will be ready to begin using the DE.
