Description
At the January 26th, 2010 meeting of the Emergency Management Reference  Information Model Subcommittee, the members discussed the following  topics:

 1. TOPIC:  How is the work going on the Tracking of Emergency Clients?  (Answer:  Lew explained that the Requirements document for a potential EDXL  standard ?Tracking of Emergency Clients?  is nearing completion. This  requirements work is performed through DHS with stakeholder involvement.  The requirements then eventually come to OASIS for potential standards  development.  The current work is building upon the previous  ?Tracking of  Emergency Patients?. Emergency ?clients? are those who are being evacuated  but do not have specific medical issues. The goal is to be able to locate  people displaced during an emergency for a variety of purposes including  allowing people to find loved ones.)

 2. TOPIC:  Is there a potential process for streamlined tool/application  development from our EDXL specifications? (Answer:  Yes. One path forward  is to develop UML models which can be used in data modeling tools to  generate code and a database definition language, which then need to be  cleaned up and offered as open products for the community. Rex has  generated an initial UML model for the DE 2.0, which could be the basis of  such work for the DE. Rex previously did this work for Resource Messsaging.  Lew may be doing similar work, generating a UML model, as part of his  efforts on Emergency Clients. The consensus was that these types of  products and tools, as developed by members with existing project  resources,  should be encouraged, aligned, and shared, if possible, with  the community to, as Rex succinctly stated, ?make interoperability  unavoidable.? )

 3. TOPIC 3:  Is there a useful engineering report on data modeling that we  could leverage? (Answer: Yes. The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) has  developed a domain modeling handbook. This will be a great resource and is  one of the engineering reports resulting from the OGC Web Services Testbed  #8. Lew will notify us when the report is available for review. )
