——————————————————————————–
OASIS invites you to attend a free, 1 hour webinar on the Emergency Data Exchange Language (EDXL) suite of standards including Common Alerting Protocol (CAP).
Thursday, 15 July, 15:00 UTC/GMT:
8:00 am San Francisco
11:00 am Boston
4:00 pm London
5:00 pm Berlin
The webinar will provide an overview of EDXL and how implementation can enhance interoperability and information sharing capabilities in the emergency management and response domains. The presentations will highlight the CAP and EDXL Distribution Element (DE) standards with specific implementation examples. This webinar will also provide an overview of the NIMS Supporting Technology Evaluation Program which evaluates products for the EDXL suite of standards and publishes reports on the Responder Knowledge Base website. During the presentation there will be an opportunity for Q&A with a panel of experts.
Who should attend?
Anyone with an interest in interoperability and information-sharing within the emergency management and response domain including:
* Implementers seeking to identify relevant technical standards
* Developers with questions on how to best implement the standards
* Experts in the design and implementation of XML-based standards
With great applicability to a myriad of sectors (critical infrastructure, urban planning, facilities, special events, crisis mapping, immersive gaming, special effects, etc.), this technology is truly the ‘missing link’ between our various satellite/aerial ortho (top down) sensors, obliques (Pictometry), flat and contentious Google Streetview and the highly accurate, but slower HDS & BIM (Building Information Models) realms. Make sure to see their booth and team at the 2010 ESRI UC in San Diego. Bravo and well done, Earthmine…
Sometimes CSPAN can be a sobering thing : ) I am sure the GIS modeling folks at the PDC or East West Center in Honolulu could enlighten our Congressman.
