This is not a tool or technology issue.  It’s a
          methodology, approach and policy issue.  If implementers  wish
          to develop exchanges which interoperate only within a single
          project or partner implementation, there is no problem with
          that.  

      
 

      
It is the position of OASIS to educate user communities
           regarding broad interoperability objectives and integrity in
          application and use of its standards.  The demonstrated
          process breaks HAVE interoperability and perpetuates the
          perception that the outcome is conformant with HAVE-compliant
          exchanges, and this is inaccurate.  HAVE is widely implemented
          across the nation’s hospitals and by HHS, and OASIS will
          help to ensure that user communities are educated about the
          implications of methodologies which may introduce issues or
          render current HAVE-based exchanges useless.

      
 

      
We are working with NIEM to ensure appropriate
          integration, federation, policy and methodology when working
          with external public standards (specifically EDXL).  NIEM
          supports these efforts.

      
 

      
I’ll refrain from further emails on the topic as
          appropriate follow up is pursued.

      

        
Thanks,

                  Tim

Tim,

      

      

        
 

      

      

        
Contrarywise
            the new EIEM and BIEC specifications from NIEM NTAC are
            aligned with the demonstration.

Now
            of course individual communities are entitled to retain
            older techniques such as adapters - but the ability to
            define an EIEM for Emergency Management incorporating
            components from existing exchanges - and blending those with
            NIEM core components as BIEC permits - is enabled by the
            CAMeditor toolset.

Hi David,

            

            

              
The actual real-world problem and
                  misleading issue is that the video demonstrates an
                  invalid method of adding elements to HAVE (or any
                  other standard) for this purpose.  If the demonstrated
                  technique is used, it breaks the standard as noted by
                  Rex.  This perpetuates ongoing misconceptions in the
                  use of EDXL and NIEM.  Therefore, the EM-TC is
                  determining a formal position in response and for
                  outreach. 

            

            

              
 

            

            

              
A valid methodology has been
                  defined between EDXL and NIEM to accomplish the goal
                  of extending a public standard through the use of NIEM
                  adaptors.  This is the only technical approach that
                  may be utilized where the end product remains
                  conformant with the public standard.

            

            

              

                
Thanks,

                          Tim

Hi David,

                  

                  Work on HAVE 2.0 is underway, but in hiatus until
                  after SitReps 1.0 and DE 2.0 have been worked through
                  to Public Review, currently held up in overtaxed TC
                  Admin. I'm copying the TC list with this reply in
                  order to pass your reply along to those who have been
                  concerned.

Rex,

              

            

            

              

                
 

              

            

            

              

                
It's purely illustrative - for demonstration
                    purposes - hypothetical - assuming someone wanted to
                    add additional Aircraft information using NIEM
                    dictionary components - this could be how to do it. 
                  

              

            

            

              

                
 

              

            

            

              

                
Obviously there are many improvements that
                    could be made to HAVE to make it more flexible, more
                    aligned to NIEM, lessons learned from Haiti, and the
                    list goes on.

              

            

            

              

                
 

              

            

            

              

                
My membership of HAVE at OASIS is still
                    caught up in Oracle bureaucracy - so its going to be
                    several weeks more before I can rejoin the list and
                    comment.

              

            

            

              

                
 

              

            

            

              

                
I suggest people just relax until then.

              

            

            

              

                
 

              

            

            

              

                
BTW - is there new work on HAVE in
                    progress?  I cannot "see" anything right now - as
                    I'm not on the TC list.

                      Hi David,

                      

                      I don't know if you are associated with the video
                      on the oracle.com 

                      site: http://launch.oracle.com/?NIEM
                      but it is causing a problem with 

                      the EM TC because the end product breaks the
                      EDXL-HAVE specification, 

                      and while I am not the person to speak with, I
                      said I would borach the 

                      topic with you. I'm not working on HAVE so I
                      haven't followed this, but 

                      it should be dealt with through OASIS and NIEM.
                      The TC is moving to do 

                      this, so at least now you know.
