- Time facts 08:00-04:00 equals 07:00-05:00. Counter intuitive, but true (the minuses are offsets from GMT). #

- DM-OPEN's EDXL-DE broker is a Java web service, BPEL on the back end, carries #NIEM content, and has a .NET friendly interface. #
- A primer on the EDXL-DE http://bit.ly/iqOwA #
- I screwed up. The previous link to the EDXL-DE Primer is an OASIS only link. Will send corrected link ASAP. #
- @NIEMify You may have the Twitter Name NIEMify, but I claim prior prior use. #

Remembering the Original Vision for Disaster Management Interoperability Services
The italics below contain a Facebook entry by Neil Bourgeois to his friends, repeated with his permission:
Remembering those who sacrificed all on 9/11. Also remembering everyone who made DMIS Fastrack happen after that. You would be pleased to know that the next generation DMIS and INTEROP has a bright future, which was built off a firm foundation that many of you worked so hard to put in place. Also remembering Charlie Bell, he would also have been pleased to see how far things have gone.
Charlie Bell was the original Marine Corps Program Manager for what is now FEMA’s DM-OPEN and DM-Framework. Charlie died before he could see his vision fully operational, but it was his vision that started the program, even before 9/11. Charlie, your vision became our passion on 9/11. It is now well on its way to becoming a national asset. You can be proud. We miss you, but we know you are watching.

- @chucka_nc Thanks. Standards make puzzle pieces fit together more consistently, but do not remove the need to solve the puzzle #
- Special thanks to Lee Tincher at Evotec for his help work programming the #NIEM content in DE example. The word is getting out. #

NIEM Content in an OASIS EDXL-DE (Recorded Live Demonstration)
DM-OPEN in particular is designed to be a great enabler for NIEM and NIEM based messaging. DM-OPEN is based on the EDXL-Distribution Element (DE) which is a NIEM approved external standard for “packaging” content for distribution. The following link is to a recorded presentation from 19 August 2009 (last week) to the DM-OPEN Special Interest Group SIG. This recorded presentation is from a live demonstration of the use of DM-OPEN to transport NIEM IEPD defined content from an originator to a separate display application. It also shows how (when a NIEM IEPD also has the associated style sheet that is now part of NIEM IEPD requirements) that the NIEM content and is associated presentation can be shipped in the same message to recipients. The recording is 40 minutes long. The recording is a little rough in spots, but the content is both illustrative and thought provoking.

The new DM-OPEN (out this fall) will be even more useful as it will allow queries using NIEM compatible keyword and type structures within the DE’s ValueListURN structure (a categorization scheme for metadata about message content). This will make retrieval and re-distribution of NIEM Content more practical and more efficient for DM-OPEN participant applications.

- @NIEMExecDir CAM as a flattening tool for NIEM IEPD building makes some sense. #
- Even NIEM "skaters" (shortcutters who use their own structures as the primary option) can document their exchanges as IEPDs. #

Presenting the EDXL-DE: Sending NIEM Content AND Custom Format in the Same EDXL-DE Message
A raw demonstration of a very usable capability.
The DE offers implementers a unique opportunity: the ability to send message content within one contentObject tag and an XSLT for displaying that content in the originator’s desired format in another, all within the same message. On Wednesday August 19, I will demonstrate how this works on line to the DM-OPEN Special Interest Group (SIG) at noon Eastern Time via Microsoft Live Meeting. I will retrieve a DE created by the folks at Evolution Technologies from DM-OPEN, and then display it in a browser as the sender intends it to be seen. This is brand new to me so I will not have written all of the code to do it all “automagically.” (I may have it done by then but do not promise.) So, you will have to put up with some cut-and paste and manual file creation, but I will be doing it live so you can see the process and visualize for yourself how you might automate it in your system. And guess what? The content is from a NIEM IEPD.
(I sure hope I do not have a Bill Gates Moment! 🙂 )
