I just returned to work after a week in San Diego working with fellow members of the OASIS Emergency Management Technical Committee. Lots to do to catch up. Proposals to write. Presentations to make. Very busy, yet planning for change.
The new OASIS Emergency Data Exchange Language Resource Messaging (EDXL-RM) Specification is being released for public comment this week. Since I am part of the development team for the specification, I can obviously be of assistance to those who wish to implement. I also have a complete understanding of the EDXL Distribution Element Specification and how it is used as a transport wrapper for EDXL-RM. The final kicker is FEMA’a new Integrated Pubic Alert and Warning System (IPAWS). It will use the EDXL-DE as its mechanism for message transport. I will be among the first to prototype its operational capability. The obvious project I would like to put first in my queue is to help a government agency at any level or a private company in the emergency management software space be IPAWS ready with both alerting and resource messaging capabilities.
