Description
At the April 19th, 2012 meeting of the Reference Information Model  subcommittee, the members discussed the following topics:

 1. TOPIC: Should we organize the RIM reference model ontology by  upper-level abstract concepts related to emergency management? (Answer:  Perhaps. High-level concepts, like ?Confidence?, might allow a user to  search or browse through important emergency management concepts and see  what EDXL standards implement that concept and how it is implemented in  each.)

 2. TOPIC: Should we extend the RIM ontology from a taxonomy of classes to  defining properties of those classes? (Answer: Probably. The definition of  classes based on properties would allow for consistency checking, i.e.  automatic analysis of the ontology to determine if there are any classes  whose definition can never be satisfied. )

 3. TOPIC: What is the latest on the Tracking of Emergency Clients work?  (Answer: The TEC work is moving forward with good progress, leveraging the  related work done for Tracking of Emergency Patients (TEP), extending to  other emergency clients. )

 4. TOPIC: Should we update our schemas to use the new official W3C Xlink  schema? (Answer: OGC is issuing a policy change to allow them to modify  their schemas to adapt to the now official W3C Xlink schema and it seems  like we should consider doing the same. Originally, the Xlnik specification  was issues without an official schema and OGC and others made one up, but  now for standardization, it's good to use the official version. (Jeff  updated the draft DE 2.0 after this discussion to use the new Xlink  schema.)
