HAVE draft comment posted

All,

 

I and others on and off the OASIS EM-TC
would like to post a recommendation that the National Information Exchange
Model (NIEM) Naming and Design Rules (NDR) be adopted and applied to the HAVE
committee draft.  My understanding is that, although a consistent
convention was used to name the elements, no formal NDR has been followed for
HAVE or for Resource Messaging (RM). 

 

Please note that not adopting the NDR does
not prevent use of NIEM to
develop exchanges using EDXL standards; however, the difficulty for
practitioners may be increased otherwise.  I realize that this feels
Federal government-driven, but I don’t see a down-side since the particular
semantics applied should not negatively impact the International community. 

 

Benefits:

·        
Use HAVE
as the starting point to begin applying a published and consistent naming convention
across the EDXL standards

·        
Promote
reuse and facilitate simpler and more seamless use of NIEM for the development
of IEPD’s and implementation of exchanges using the EDXL standards.

·        
Provide a
straight-forward avenue and mechanism for state and local organizations to comply
with grants language which specifies NIEM and EDXL

 

We do not feel that the specification
should be held up; HAVE should proceed into the 60-day comment period with this
and other comments that have been posted.  If adopted by the TC, recommend
that the NIEM NDR be adopted for the draft Resource Messaging and subsequent standards,
and possibly to the Distribution Element when a successive version is put forth.

 

I welcome any comments or feedback. 
I will be on the call Thursday at 4:45.  Because HAVE is pending committee
vote, I don’t know where this comment should be formally posted.  Please
advise and I will ensure that gets done.

 

Sincerely,

Tim Grapes

quorum - Thurs 11/2 4:45PM EST

 

Dear EM-TC Members,

We did not have a quorum for our meeting yesterday and we would like to get the
HAVE moved forward to public comment, as well as review/approve the meeting
notes for the past few meetings.  We had our meeting which is summarized
in the notes that will be uploaded for review but without a quorum, we were not
able to do any business.  We will plan to have a short meeting on Thursday
just before the Msg/Not meeting on Resource Thursday evening at 4:45PM
EST.  The EM-TC part of the meeting should only last 15 minutes if
everyone can be prepared to vote on HAVE.  If you have any issues on the
draft as it is posted or corrections to the meeting notes for the Sept and Oct
meetings, please post them to the list as soon as possible.  

Thanks!  

Elysa Jones, Chair
