Description
Utilizing the proper OASIS template, this Working Draft 01 EDXL Extensions  provides a basic introduction to the techniques for adding local community  information into existing EDXL standards.  EDXL Extensions serve four  important purposes: (1) to allow local communities the flexibility to  incorporate their own needed additional information to support emergency  needs; (2) to provide a structure and process for incorporating additional  information in a manner which enforces reusability and appropriate  information management; (3) to enable communities to explore and document  their emergency terminology; and (4) to serve as a glide-path toward more  formal standardization of emergency information. With EDXL Extensions,  communities can use their own lists of roles or keywords, and their own  user-defined sets of additional terms and values to standards such as  Tracking of Emergency Patients and the EDXL Distribution Element.
Communities can add additional ?layers? of business information, such as  Event information, or domain-specific information, such as Earthquake  information, to traditional EDXL messages. The goal is not to replace any  portions of the more standardized EDXL messages, but instead to allow  ?extended? information as appropriate to address specific community needs.  This paper describes the two major techniques, ValueLists and the Extension  element, for extending EDXL standards with examples. After reading this  short paper, the reader will be ready to begin using the EDXL Extensions.
