Dave,

 

I agree. I was just passing along the 
suggestion.

Attached are slides 
from the briefing on application of EDXL Distribution to the National Alerting 
Framework.  Since we have an evolving Publication/Subscription 
infrastructure, I need to work with Tom Merkle how to explain the theory/best 
practices and not over explain implementation details.

 

In the slides you will 
see color coding of EDXL-DE elements and how they are proposed to be used by 
Alerting Framework.

  
Yellow is only 
  important for Time to Live and Reply messaging. 
  
Orange means being 
  applied at the edge to restrict delivery to authorized 
  recipients. 
  
Pink means being used 
  to assemble Collections of Interest (COI) for core message routing 
  fabric. 
  
    
This is a work in 
    progress and we have significant findings on valueListUrn creation and 
    usage. 

  
Light Blue means a 
  special case for external distribution systems (e.g. e-mail) or special 
  Alerting Framework Web services routing (design in progress). 
  
Dark Blue means 
  actual Payload (may need to pick a different color). 
  
The Green is still 
  being evaluated for functionality (e.g. contentDescription is being used be 
  Alerting Framework for GIS hover display of in route EDXL DE 
  contentObjects). 

 

As you can see, the 
green IncidentID and incidentDescription have not functionality in either 
explicit of Pub/Sub distribution.  In fact, if we could predict incidents 
in advance and add them to a valueListURN/value pair for determining 
distribution during incidents, the TC should go to Las Vegas and win enough 
money to retire.

 

IncidentID should be 
assigned by appropriate authority during actual Incidents and used in Payloads 
distributed by the EDXL-DE.  I believe this was Art’s comment when we added 
it.

Patti,

 

I tried sending this message to the group, but the list 
server rejected my message.  Could you forward, 
please?

I'm quite sure everyone is hoping for no more changes to 
the EDXL-DE schema at this point.  However, as I have begun to work 
with the schema in our resourcing prototype, I have observed that 
while there are incidentID and incidentDescription elements in the 
contentObject, there is no provision to classify the incident using a 
valueListURN/value pair.  

 

This would seem to be necessary for 
consistency.  In other words, if it is a good idea to have an 
incidentDescription and incidentID in the contentObject, there should also be an 
optional incidentKeyword to classify the incident. 

 

Regards,

 

Mark Carlson
