        Description

        At the July 10, 2014 meeting of the EMTC Reference Information Model

Subcommittee, the members discussed the following topics: 

1.	TOPIC: What is the status of the NIEM Adapters? Brian is developing and

gathering the current NIEM adapters. We should have a complete set within

next few days.  

2.	TOPIC: What is the status of the EDXL Overview white paper? Jeff

discussed the goals of the paper, including having relevance to a wide

audience and showing applicability of the standards to the common person.

Jeff will prepare a more detailed outline for next time.

3.	TOPIC: What are the remaining technical questions regarding the SitRep

schemas? (a) When we have multiple geographic areas for

ExtentOfContamination, should we specify how these relate (e.g. Union,

Intersection) as we do in DE 2? Yes. (b) In several places, an element is

specified with a set of subelements but all are specified as optional,

shouldn?t one be required? Brian will consult with a subject matter expert,

e.g. Don McGarry, and find out which, if any of the elements, really is

required. (c) There is an element that allows any xml to be inserted, but

should that only be allowed at the end of the specification or perhaps

relegated to the DE? Better to use DE for extra xml, since inserting

arbitrary xml into the middle of an EDXL standard is problematic; (d)

Should we use EDXLString more regularly? Yes.

4.	TOPIC: What is the status of the new version of Common Types? Werner is

preparing this and will report out after he finishes CIQ.

5.	TOPIC: Should we consider proposing an Emergency Services Playbook?  Rex

is considering proposing to the Collateral and Documents subcommittee a

project to write an Emergency Services Playbook that could be a game rule

book or reference volume.
