Description
At the September 27th, 2011 meeting of the Emergency Management  Infrastructure Framework (IF)

Subcommittee, the members discussed the  following topics:

 1.  TOPIC: Do we have an updated version of the DE 2.0 schema and  specification?
(Answer: Yes.  A new version of the schema with examples  and specification has been uploaded. It's now time to get more eyes on it.  Please review, add your initials onto the end, make any edits as needed,  and then Jeff will merge. The specification is at
http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/emergency-if/download.php/43676/EDXL-DE-v2.0-wd01f.odt  and the zip file with examples is at  http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/emergency-if/download.php/43675/DE_2.0_schema_ver09_HAVE_Examples.zip  )

 2.  TOPIC: As we review the updated specification and schema, are there any  particular issues we should consider?
(Answer: No major issues, but a few  things to consider include: (1) Are the urgency, severity, and certainty  defaults ok?  (2) We need to revisit the COId and refCOId elements which  seem to have been dropped in this latest version; (3) It would be nice to  have an xslt stylesheet or other example of how to parse and show benefits  of the xlink capability to link content objects and descriptors; (4) Jeff  will reorder the data dictionary alphabetically by element within major  sections; (5) What is our explanation to new users as to what goes into the  ExplicitAddressScheme element? (6) Consider the intro sections where  wording was kept from original DE, any changes needed?)

 3.  TOPIC: Will OASIS have a solution for providing checksums or other  means to ensure that downloads are valid?
(Answer: Yes. Martena made the  good suggestion and Robin Cover responded that OASIS has a requirement to  provide such a capability. Other EM TC members expressed their support and  Werner sent an email to Robin on behalf of the RIM subcommittee asking  Robin if he would like to lead this initiative. We'll discuss and follow-up  at the next RIM meeting.)
