I am working on creating a National level
Alerting system. The more “non” Distribution elements we put
in the EDXL Distribution Element the more likely a organization might try to
use them for routing and message could be misrouted or rejected.
Additionally, I am trying to use set
theory to validate distribution aggregation/dis-aggregation. Adding
addition element which some organization uses for classifying messages causes
the number of validation matches to increase significantly and creates
significant delays delivering life saving time-sensitive warning messages.

Add incidentKeyword to contentObject
David,
I am not able to post messages to the group so will just reply to you and
Patti.
My proposal was to add an incidentKeyword with valueListURN/valueList pair that
would be used to classify the incident, not to use the valueListURN/valueList
pair to identify the incident. If it makes sense to have incidentID and
incidentDescription, then adding a way to classify the incident also makes
sense and adds value. I am working on a resourcing application in which
different business logic / routing rules will apply based on incident
type. Sure, I can design a contentObject payload that contains
incidentID, desription and keyword information, but as the ID and description
are already present in the DE, that is counter-intuitive. I'm not convinced
incident fields belong in the DE, but if they do, then a way to categorize the
incident seems necessary.
Regards,
Mark Carlson
