1      Introduction

[All text is normative unless otherwise labeled]

This document describes common components and component types for describing persons and organizations that can be reused across the suite of Emergency Data Exchange Language (EDXL) standards. These particular components are derived from the Customer Information Quality (CIQ) standard.  See http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=ciq#overview for more information about CIQ, including the quick summary provided here:

The objective of the OASIS CIQ Technical Committee (formed in 2000) is to deliver a set of XML Specifications for defining, representing, interoperating and managing "PARTY (Person or Organisation) CENTRIC INFORMATION" that are truly open, vendor neutral, industry and application independent, and importantly "Global" (ability to represent international data formats such as different types of party names and addresses used in 241+ countries).

The CIQ family of specifications are designed to represent party data (e.g. name and address) independent of any culture, geographical location, application or industry at an abstract (simple representation of data - free text format) or detailed (complex representation, i.e. breaking the data into its atomic elements - structured format) level from a data integrity and quality perspective and therefore, is truly a "global" (International) specification for representing party information.

The Emergency Management Technical Committee has the need to represent basic person and organization information across its standards and has chosen to reuse the important work performed by the OASIS CIQ Technical Committee; however, to make this reuse easy and understandable, the EM TC has authorized the development of this “profile” which is a set of schema which utilize only a portion of the entire CIQ schema and which create XML fragments which validate against those schema.

This document is intended for internal use by the Emergency Management Technical Committee and its subcommittees as they develop specific standards utilizing these types.The goal is to enable reuse of components which are commonly used in specifications and which have been designed based on lessons learned from the development of the Common Alert Protocol 1.1, the Distribution Element 1.0, Hospital Availability and Resource Messaging. The first use of this CIQ profile is intended to be in Situation Reports 1.0 and the Distribution Element 2.0. The components will be used and expanded as needed for future EDXL specifications.

2      Design Principles & Concepts (non-normative)

2.1    Design Philosophy

 

Below are some of the guiding principles of the EDXL CIQ Profile:

1.             Provide a method to capture and reuse xml types and elements for representing persons and organizations which are commonly needed across multiple EDXL standards.

2.             Provide flexible mechanisms to update the EDXL CIQ Profile efficiently, without slowing down the EDXL standards development process.

3.             Allow for easy updates to capture fixes or improvements.

4.             Ease the reuse and understanding of the basic CIQ person and organization elements and types important for emergency management.

5.             Speed the development of EDXL Standards through reuse of common components and thereby improve information sharing and data exchange across the local, state, tribal, national and non-governmental organizations of different professions that provide emergency response and management services.

6.             Support the integration of data elements from profiles which enables efficient and effective reuse of other important open standards.

2.2    Structural Summary

About multiplicity notation: “[l..h]” designates range from lower bound l to higher bound h, with both l and h Natural numbers, 0 ≤ l ≤ h, plus option “*” (unbounded) for h.

About notation: “(.., ..)” lists attributes.

Comments

The Type attribute indicates which part of number or identifier this element contains. Some "numbers" are as simple as 42 and some "numbers" are more like complex aplhanumeric identifiers as Postcodes in UK or Canada, e.g. M2H 2S5. It may be necessary to separate the "number" into sub-elements and indicate what type of information each of them contains.

Usage

Definition

The postcode is formatted according to country-specific rules. Example: SW3 0A8-1A, 600074, 2067. This element can also be used to define the semantics of what each code in the post code means

Comments

The Type attribute indicates which part of number or identifier this element contains. Some "numbers" are as simple as 42 and some "numbers" are more like complex aplhanumberic identifiers as Postcodes in UK or Canada, e.g. M2H 2S5. It may be necessary to separate the "number" into sub-elements and indicate what type of information each of them contains.
