Thanks Paola,
I appreciate being kept up to date on this. I should be in touch
Renato shortly. I just got back from giving a talk on Service Oriented
Architecture to investment community executives at Princeton, NJ and I
have 5 days to finish up a major proposal to the US Army Medical
Research and Materiel Command Telemedicine and Advanced Technology
Research Center (USAMRMC, TATRC) that is in this area.
I prefer Emergency Response Management, but that tends to lead to
another Three Letter Acronym (TLA), so I stay with Emergency
Management for a short term, though my concerns cover preparation,
first response, logistics and mitigation (which can include extended
recovery, too).
Cheers,
Rex

Rex and all
I met Renato Iannella a couple of weeks back, and we have had informal
chats as to how to proceed with this project, and we are now exploring
possibilities. Today he is inviting W3C members
to join this task, I ll pass this onto this list in case someone is
interested in helping with this effort.
( come in please!)

Rex,
We have suggested to Sahana's project leads to set up tests for EDXL
within Sahana, will let you know if something happens of it
(I am still not happy with the term 'disaster management' but I guess
that's a formality that can be dealt with later?)
Cheers

Thanks Paola,
Testing is the intent. That's exactly what we want for the
specifications. Testing the Reference Information Model will be a bit
more challenging since its usefulness lies in being the source of
common abstract components for the EDXL family. As such it will always
be evolving, as will the individual specifications. We are well into
the first stages of collecting requirements for the next version of
CAP and EDXL-DE, though, to be honest, I really hope we keep bringing
in more fresh recruits, with more energy than some of us who are now
working on their fifth and sixth and seventh specifications seem able
to muster. I've got about two or three more specs left in my tank, and
then I will seriously need a break.
Cheers,
Rex
Well
I cant think of a better way of giving feedback on a standard
than trying it out
I was thinking some kind of user test
of course in addition on any other input that people may have off the
top of their heads

I can't speak for the TC, but getting this far was a big
hurdle, so I
don't want to make it seem like the TC is ready for further steps,
even if I personally happen to be in favor of such testing.
