1        Introduction

1.1 Purpose

As detailed in the EDXL_DE Specification the goal of the EDXL project is to facilitate emergency 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. EDXL will accomplish this goal by focusing on the standardization of specific messages (messaging interfaces) to facilitate emergency communication and coordination particularly when more than one profession jor governmental jurisdiction is involved.

The primary purpose of the Emergency Data Exchange Language Resource Messaging (EDXL_RM). Specification is to provide a set of standard formats for  XML emergency messages. These Resource Messages are specifically designed as payloads of Emergency Data Exchange Language Distribution Element- (EDXL_DE)-routed messages. Together EDXL_DE and EDXL_RM are intended to expedite all activities associated with resources needed to respond and adapt to emergency incidents. The Distribution Element may be thought of as a "container". It provides the information to route "payload" message sets (such as Alerts or Resource Messages), by including key routing information such as distribution type, geography, incident, and sender/recipient IDs.

 

The Resource Message is constrained to the set of Resource Message Types contained in this specification. The Resource Message is intended to be the payload or one of the payloads of the Distribution Element which contains it.

 

1.2 History

Disaster Management (DM) is a communications program in the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Office for Interoperability and Compatibility (OIC) and managed by the Science and Technology (S&T) Directorate.  The program was initiated as one of the Presidents e-gov initiatives.  DM’s mission is to serve as the program within the Federal Government to help local, tribal, state, and federal public safety and emergency response agencies improve public safety response through more effective and efficient interoperable data sharing. The DHS DM program sponsors a Practitioner Steering Group (PSG) made up of represenations of major emergency response associations.

 

The DM Practitioner Steering Group (PSG) governance was formalized following publication of the EDXL Distribution element.  It plays a key role in the direction, prioritization, definition, and execution, and of the DHS-DM program.  The group is comprised of representatives of major emergency response associations, setting priorities and providing recommendations regarding messaging standards development as well as the other facets of the DM program.

 

The PSG specified messaging standards-based systems interoperatility as the #1 priority for the DHS Disaster Management program.  The EDXL Resource Messaging Specification effort was identified as the top priority standard by this group following the EDXL-DE.  The requirements and specification effort was initiated by this group in partnership with industry members of the Emergency Interoperability Consortium (EIC) in a Standards Working Group (SWG).  That group developed a draft specification which was submitted to the OASIS Emergency Management Technical Committee to begin work on this EDXL-RM specification. 

 

The process remained the same as with the EDXL_DE specification with the exception that the Technical Committee requested that the initial candidate specification submitted by the expert group be recast as a formal Requirements Document according to a template that the Technical Committee provided to the expert group.  The candidate specification was then resubmitted along with this requested requirements document.

1.3 Structure of the EDXL Resource Message

The EDXL Resource Message specification applies to 16 separate specific message types related to the major communication purposes involved in the allocation of resources pertaining to preparation for, response to and remediation of emergency incidents.

The non-normative abstract reference model diagram in Figure 1 in Section 3.1 shows the abstract structural relationships of the main components:

·         Resource Message: The overall Type of EDXL Payload;

·         Message: The specific message, primarily of Request or Response general types, but with signficant other subtypes;

·         Party: Organizations and Individuals connected with the message;

·         Resource: the actual referrent of the message, which can be equipment, material substances such as water, people with certain skills, etc;

·         Schedule: Temporal information such as when requested, when needed, when arrived, etc., associated with the message;

·         Assignment: Instructions relative to the displosition of Resource or Resources referred to in the message usually related to geospatial and jurisdictional information.

The Element Reference Model in Figure 2 in Section 3.2 gives a more concrete view of the structure common to all Resource Messages.

Table 1 in Section 3.3  provides a Resource Message Type Summary of the 16 specific types of Resource Message.

Figure 3 in Section 3.3 illustrates the three primary types of behavior which Resource Messages enable :

·         Discovery;

·         Ordering; and

·         Deployment.

Table 1: in Section 3.3 provides a Resource Message Type – Element Matrix where each row represents a specific message element grouped by functional categories and each column represents a specific message type. Thus one can determine whether any combination of message element and message type is Required, Conditional, or Optional.

Each specific message type is fully described in Sections 3.3.1 through 3.3.16

2.2 Example Usage Scenarios

Note: The following examples of use scenarios were used as a basis for design and review of the EDXL Resource Messaging Specification. These scenarios are non-normative and not intended to be exhaustive or to reflect actual practices.

2.2.1 Safecom Explosion

This scenario follows the detection of a noxious aerosol substance leak at a demical plant that produces toxic  materials, including evacuations, requests for hazmat teams and the evolution of the incident into an explosion that destroys the leak sit and an adjacent building with casualties requiring emergency healthcare teams, full incident command establishment, responses of various kinds and clean up

Full use case available: http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/14410/EDXL_use_example_SafecomExplosion%20060805.doc

2.2.2 Cedar Fire Incident

This is an actual use case that follows the events of the “Cedar” fire incident inlate October and November 2003 in San Diego County, California. Operation Center (EOC) has been activated, and requests the agencies to be on alert. This follows the lack of radio interoperability and poor coordination of mutual aid in the area due to several other fires during the period and previously

Full use case available: http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/14411/EDXL_use_example_Fire061005.doc

2.2.3 Hurricane

This scenario modeled a category 5 hurricance several months prior to the start of the 2005 hurricane season in earnest, and follows many different kinds of resource requests and evolving situations as a widespread incident with mass casualties and damage occurs.

Full use case available: http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/14412/EDXL_use_example_Hurricane061005.doc

2.2.4 Pandemic Influenza

This scenario models  an Influenza Pandemic outbreak at Phase 6 (Increased and pre-sustained transmission in general population) as determined by the State Health Agency/Public Health Department. It includes such activities as requesting medical facilities to take stock and determine what resources are readily available and on hand (inventory of available supplies). It includes a wide range of resource messages such as requests for vaccines and anti-.virals.

3        EDXL Resource Messaging Model (Non-normative)

3.1 Abstract Reference Model

Figure 1 below shows the Resource Messaging Abstract Reference Model (RM-ARM). The purpose of the RM-ARM is to highlight the high-level structure of the RM framework and the relationships between the main entities.

The Resource Message contains either one of two major message categories: a Request or a Response message;  or  a minor message category type, a Report message;.These two major and one minor message categories form the underlying framework for all messages. The Resource Message also contains information on the Party (person or organisation) that plays a significant Role in the message transaction. Funding information can also be specified.

 

Figure 1: Resource Messaging – Abstract Reference Model

 

The core of any message is the Resource. A Resource contains information about its Identity, Description and its Status. A Resource owner can also be identified.

A Resource may also have a schedule which includes Temporal and Spatial details. For example, the expected arrival time and place for a specific resource. There are a number of types for Schedules.

A Resource may also have information about its Assignment including the identified Incident and Instructions related to the incident assignment.


3.2 Element Reference Model

Figure 2 below shows the EDXL–RM Element Reference Model (ERM). The purpose of the ERM is to highlight the low-level structure of the RM framework and the relationships between the main entities and their elements.

It is important to note that the ERM should not be used as an implementation model as the exact semantics and structure is captured in the subsequent sections on the Resource Message Types.

 

Figure 2: Resource Messaging – Element Reference Model

The RM-ERM shows the element-level details for the main entities in the RM. The semantics for each of the elements is defined in Section Error! Reference source not found..

3.3 Resource Message Types

The general RM framework is based on a Request/Response model. Most of the Request messages expect a Response, and in some cases, messages are used to notify others of changes or offers of resources.

This two-way communication is characterised by two classes of primary actors. The Resource Consumer is an actor that needs or requires resources to undertake response to an incident. The Resource Supplier is an owner, or distributor, or manager of resources that can meet the needs of Resource Consumers.  There may be more than one actor of each class for a given sequence of message exchanges, and there may also be other classes of actors besides these two primary types.

There are 16 resource messages defined in this specification, which are summarized in Table 2 below.

Response to Request Extended Deployment Duration

Message used as the response to “Request Extended Deployment Duration”. [ResponseToRequestExtendedDeploymentDuration]

Resource Supplier

 

The remainder of this section is informative only.  It is included to show how the resource messages might flow between the Resource Consumer and Resource Supplier during resource management.  Note, however, that this specification does not prescribe the sequence of message exchanges, except for some dependencies between messages which are described in Section 3.3.1.

The Resource Messages can be used in three phases of resource management:

·         Discovery,

·         Ordering, and

·         Deployment, as shown in Figure 3.

The Discovery phase enables Resource Consumers to find out about available resources, including their costs, and offers of resources from Resource Suppliers.

The Ordering phase enables Resource Consumers to explicitly requisition Resources from Resource Suppliers.

The Deployment phase enables both actors to find about the current status of resources in the field, request extensions and returns.

It is important to note that this specification does not mandate an exact order and workflow of Resoruce Messages. For example, the Ordering phase may actually only require the Commit Resource message for some actors.

Table 3 summarises all the Message Types and their element contents. The specific details on each of the Message Types are outlined in the following sections.

3.3.2 Response to Request Resource Message

3.3.2.1 Overview

The Response to Request Resource message is used by potential resource suppliers (e.g. mutual aid partners, equipment suppliers, etc.) to respond to Request Resource messages from Logistics Coordinators or others with logistics responsibilities. The response may identify availability, limitations and other pertinent information related to resources in the original request.

3.3.2.2 Element Reference Model

Figure 5 below shows the EDXL–RM Element Reference Model (ERM) tailored for the Response to Request Resource Message. The ERM shows the element-level details for the main entities in the RM.

A Response to Request Resource message MAY be followed by a Requisition message from the Resource Consumer.

 

The message may be canceled or updated through the ResourceMessage:MessageRecall element.

3.3.2.4 Message Example

Below is an example of a Response to Request Resource Message. This is an example response to the original request shown in Section 3.3.1.4 . In this example, the three requests have different responses:

·         The “Small Animal Sheltering Team” (idref=001) has Conditional changes to the request. In this case the Schedule information is different from that requested.

·         The “Patrol and Surveillance Helicopters” (idref=002) is Declined.

·         The “Electrical Power Restoration Team” (idref=003) is Accepted.

3.3.4 Commit Resource Message

3.3.4.1 Overview

The “Commit Resource” message is used by a Resource Supplier to confirm that resources have been committed to a Resource Consumer request. Usually, the Commit Resource is in response to a Requistion Resource, or even a Request Resource. In some (rarer) cases, the Commit Resource may be the first message sent to confirm a resource allocation from Resource Suppliers to Resource Consumers. The Commit Resource is the only message used to indicate the resources have been allocated to an assignment/incident.

3.3.4.2 Element Reference Model

Figure 7 below shows the EDXL–RM Element Reference Model (ERM) tailored for the Commit Resource Message. The ERM shows the element-level details for the main entities in the RM.

The schema for a Commit Resource message can be found in Appendix A.6.

3.3.4.3 Message Flow

The Commit Resource message is sent by a Resource Supplier in response to an either a Request Resource or Requisition Resource message sent by the Resource Consumer.

The potential responses to this message include:

·         Acknowledgement

·         The EDXL-DE is used for a message acknowledgement.

 

The message may be canceled or updated through the ResourceMessage:MessageRecall element.

3.3.4.4 Message Example

Below is an example of a Commit Resource Message. This is an example Response to the original Requisition Resource shown in Section 3.3.3.4. In this example, the two requests have different responses:

·         The “Small Animal Sheltering Team” (idref=001) is Accepted. In this case the Schedule information is updated with Committed and Actual Departure dates.

·         The “Patrol and Surveillance Helicopters” (idref=002) is Declined.

3.3.5 Request Information (RFI) Message

3.3.5.1 Overview

One use of the “Request Information” message is to ask questions about specific resources.  In this case, the message can be the initial message sent from the Resource Consumer to the Resource Suppliers, or it can be a follow up message seeking further information after the Resource Consumer has sent a Request Resource or other resource messages.  A Request Information can be used in this manner even after a resource has been committed and/or deployed; however, if the request is related to the status of a deployed resource, the Request Resource Deployment Status message MUST be used instead.

A second use of this message type is to provide a general description of the sender’s situation and needs, with the expectation of receiving responses suggesting suitable resources.  This is useful when the Resource Consumer is not able to issue a specific Request Resource message because of a lack of knowledge about the resources that would be most appropriate for the situation.

3.3.5.3 Message Flow

The Request Resource message is sent by the Resource Consumer to any number of Resource Suppliers, and may follow earlier resource messages.

The potential responses to this message include:

·         Response to Request for Information (See 0)

·         This includes Accept, Decline, and Conditional responses

·         Report Resource Deployment Status

·         Acknowledgement

·         The EDXL-DE is used for a message acknowledgement.

3.3.5.4 Message Example

Below are two example Request Information messages.  The first is intended as a follow up message to the Request Resource and Response to Request Resource messages shown in Sections 3.3.1.4 and 3.3.2.4, requesting further information about the third resource that was requested (two electrical power restoration teams).  The second message is a general request for assistance with assessing and repairing a damaged bridge.

3.3.6 Response to Request Information Message

3.3.6.1 Overview

The “Response to Request Information” message is used by Resource Suppliers to respond to an original Request Information message from Resource Consumers.  If the original Request Information message contained one or more ResourceSummary elements, the response MUST Accept or Decline each ResourceSummary element with a separate ResponseSummary element; however, accepting here only entails agreeing to supply the requested information, not agreeing to supply resources.  If the original request did not contain any ResourceSummary elements, one or more ResponseSummary elements MAY be included in the response message (and, in this case, each ResponseSummary element MUST contain the “Accept” element).

3.3.6.2 Element Reference Model

Figure 9 below shows the EDXL–RM Element Reference Model (ERM) tailored for the Response to Request Information Message. The ERM shows the element-level details for the main entities in the RM.

4.1.13.2.1 Imported Type Definitions

Type

geo-oasis:WhereType

Usage

Used for as the type value for TargetArea elements

Definition

WhereType provides a mechanism for defining location.  It allows the target Area to be defined as a choice of one of the following:

  • gml:Point
  • gml:LineString
  • gml:CircleByCenterPoint
  • gml:Ploygon
  • gml:Envelope

It also allows the use of a set of attributes (oasis:whereAttrGroup) defined for “WhereType.” More detailed definitions for geo:oasis:WhereType can be found in the geo:oasis proposed specification

Comments

§         Specific usage structures for the choices above to be used in the RM specification are found in definitions included later in this section.

§         Use of the oasis:whereAttrGroup is not covered by this standard. While oasis:whereAttrGroup can be used, its particular use should  be regarded as a proprietary extension of the Resource Messaging standard, meaning that an understanding of its use cannot be guaranteed by implementation instances of the standard.

5        Distribution of EDXL-RM (NON-NORMATIVE)

 

EDXL DISTRIBUTION ELEMENT (EDXL-DE)

 

The EDXL Distribution Element (EDXL-DE) V, 1.0 was adopted as a standard in April 2006. The DE provides a flexible message-distribution framework for emergency information systems data sharing among emergency information systems using the XML-based Emergency Data Exchange Language (EDXL).  This format may be used over any data transmission system, including but not limited to the SOAP HTTP binding.  The primary use of the EDXL Distribution Element is to identify and provide information to enable the routing of encapsulated payloads, called Content Objects. It is used to provide a common mechanism to encapsulate content information.

 

The primary purpose of the Distribution Element is to facilitate the routing of any properly formatted XML

emergency message to recipients. The Distribution Element may be thought of as a "container".  It

provides the information to route "payload" message sets (such as Alerts or Resource Messages) by

including key routing information such as distribution type, geography, incident, and sender/recipient IDs.  Messages may be distributed by specific recipients, by a geographic area, or by other codes such as agency type (police, fire, etc.). 

 

EDXL RESOURCE MESSAGING (EDXL-RM) DISTRIBUTION

 

The primary purpose of the Emergency Data Exchange Language Resource Messaging (EDXL-RM) Specification is to provide a set of standard formats for  XML emergency messages.  These Resource Messages are specifically designed as payloads of tbe EDXL-DE.  Together EDXL-DE and EDXL-RM are intended to expedite all activities associated with resources needed to respond and adapt to emergency incidents.

 

The EDXL-DE is designed to carry one or more “Content Objects”, and each Content Object may be in the form of well-formed XMLContent, or NonXMLContent.  EDXL-RM is designed to be compatible as well-formed XMLContent for routing using the EDXL-DE.  Metadata (i.e. the “codes” mentioned above) for routing / distribuion is found only in the EDXL-DE, and not in the EDXL-RM.  Therefore, other routing mechanisms may be used to distribute EDXL-RM content if this metadata is provided in the same fashion.  Alternatively, other routing mechanisms may be utilized for “directed distribution”  of EDXL-RM content, meaning the sender specifies specific recipients of the payload.  The EDXL-DE also supports directed distribution through its “explicitAddress” element.
