IPAWS-OPEN Has “Connections”
The real blessing of standards is that they can make interoperability between lots of different systems possible. IPAWS-OPEN uses EDXL-CAP, and EDXL-DE in a standard SOAP Web Services environment with WS-Security. So far we have developers who have proven their interoperability using .NET, Java (Axis2 with Rampart), Java (Spring Framework), Ruby On Rails, and, as of yesterday, PHP. So, they will all be able to share vital alerting information with each other, and with the public via EAS, CMAS, and NOAA Radio. It is not easy, but it is coming together.
Still looking for the C, C++, and/or Objective C client application. 🙂
