Emergency Management Adoption TC Report/Discussion

We had a quorum, and approved Meeting Notes from 12-06-2016 as amended.

We reviewed the outline of a Value Chain Analysis for the EDXL-StratML EDXL promotion for the new year in the context of considering the use of StrategicLearningApp.com.

 Research (working out what standards are needed and what problems EDXL solves) -- This is something we have done for each of the EDXL specifications, so we have a well-worked out methodology of sub-processes. o Consult with Practitioners/Government Sponsors/NGO Consortia o Gather requirements from above (formal requirements/candidate specifications)  Standard Development o Define Scope from Requirements o Define Vocabulary and Data Model o Write Specification  Standard Approval (getting OASIS EM TC Committee Specification Approval, OASIS Standard Approval)  Standard Versioning uses overall process in sequence based on feedback from implementors/users  EDXL Family-wide Promotion o Provide overall UML class model with each specification included along with supporting elements o Provide StratML-based Strategy for overall EDXL family . Breakdown of audience/markets and needs/motivations for each in relation to EDXL . Breakdown of SOA v. Microservice Architecture for EDXL software implementations . Breakdown of Platforms, DBMS, Application Delivery Systems--mobile devices, cloud-based data persistence -- needs much more work . Breakdown of Key Technologies (XML vs. JSON for inter- service messaging/communications)  EDXL Individual Standard/Committee Specification Promotion o Provide individual database schema for each specification and supporting elements (Based on overall UML Datamodel)?  Technology vendor marketing and sign up  Vendor product development

We discussed setting up a tutorial session on Jan. 26, 2017. All were available.

Elysa said that the CAP Workshop is scheduled for Rome on September 20th and 21st and that leaves the 22nd for an EDXL Day if we can drum up support.

Elysa also mentioned that she would like to see validators for the EDXL standards and specification similar to the Google CAP Validator mentioned in the RIM SC meeting today.

Tom said he could ask BCG what would be helpful to them in the way of an EDXL Toolkit/Framework.

There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
