The ongoing goal of the Emergency Data eXchange Language (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 accomplishes this goal by focusing on the standardization of specific messages (messaging interfaces) to facilitate emergency communication and coordination particularly when more than one profession or governmental jurisdiction is involved.
The current roster of EDXL Standards includes:
· The Common Alerting Protocol v1.2 specification (EDXL-CAP)
· The Distribution Element specification v1.0 (EDXL-DE)
· The Hospital AVailability Exchange specification v1.0 (EDXL-HAVE)
· The Resource Messaging specification v1.0 (EDXL-RM)
The primary purpose of the Emergency Data Exchange Language Situation Reporting (EDXL-SitRep) Specification is to provide a set of standard formats for XML emergency response messages specifically aimed at transmitting timely situation reports. These situation reports are specifically designed as payloads of the Emergency Data Exchange Language Distribution Element (EDXL-DE). Together EDXL-DE and EDXL-SitRep are intended to expedite well-informed incident command decisions needed to respond effectively and adapt to emergency incidents, facilitating communication across various responding organizations and up the chain of command. The Distribution Element may be thought of as a container that provides the information to route "payload" message sets (such as alerts, hospital availability reports, resource messages or situation reports), by including key routing information such as distribution type, geography, incident, and sender/recipient IDs.
The EDXL-SitRep message is constrained to the set of pre-defined Report types contained in this specification. The EDXL-SitRep message is intended to be the payload or one of the payloads of the Distribution Element which contains it.
Through a practitioner-driven approach, the Command, Control and Interoperability Division (CID) within the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Science and Technology Directorate creates and deploys information resources to enable seamless and secure interactions among state, local, tribal, international, private entities, homeland security stakeholders and other federal entities. CID creates and deploys Information resources such as standards, frameworks, tools, and technologies.
CID is organized into five program areas: Basic/Futures Research; Cyber Security; Knowledge Management Tools; Office for Interoperability and Compatibility (OIC); and Reconnaissance, Surveillance, and Investigative Technologies.
Following voice interoperability programs such as SAFECOM, the OIC’s interoperable messaging standards program was initiated as one of the President’s e-Gov initiatives in 2001. The OIC mission is to serve as the standards program within the Federal Government to facilitate local, tribal, state, and federal public safety and emergency response agencies to improve emergency / disaster response through effective and efficient interoperable data sharing. OIC sponsors the process to facilitate practitioner requirements for the development of EDXL standards.
EDXL will accomplish this mission through the standardization of specific messages (XML messaging interfaces) which facilitate coordination and emergency communication between disparate software applications and systems - particularly when more than one profession or jurisdiction is involved.
The EDXL program is an open, public practitioner-driven process driven solely by cross-profession emergency practitioners through an OIC-sponsored Practitioner Steering Group (PSG) and Standards Working Group (SWG). The EDXL program is also a public-private partnership working with the EIC (Emergency Interoperability Consortium), Vendor communities, and OASIS (Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards), which develops and publishes the open, public EDXL standards free of charge.
The OIC-sponsored 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 of the DHS-OIC program. The group is comprised of representatives of major emergency response associations and organizations, setting priorities and providing recommendations regarding messaging standards development as well as the other facets of the OIC-EDXL program.
The PSG identified the EDXL Situation Reporting (EDXL-SitRep) Specification effort as the top priority standard by this group following the development of EDXL-DE, EDXL-HAVE and EDXL-RM. Utilizing standard process and governance, the requirements and specification effort was initiated by this group in partnership with industry members of the Emergency Interoperability Consortium (EIC) and the Standards Working Group (SWG). The EDXL-SitRep draft specification was developed based on explicitly defined requirements which were submitted to the OASIS Emergency Management Technical Committee (EM-TC) to begin work on this international EDXL-SitRep standard.
Tthe EDXL Situation Reporting standard defines five (5) separate and specific report types to support incident command decision-making across the emergency incident life-cycle. This includes preparedness, pre-staging of resources, initial, ongoing response, recovery and demobilization / release of resources and after-action analysis to identify needed improvements in ongoing preparedness.
The EDXL Situation Reporting standard document structure is defined using successively more detailed or constrained artifacts in the form of textual descriptions, diagrams, figures, tables and Appendices. The EDXL-SitRep XML Schema is provided separately. The overall structure of the EDXL Situation Report is first represented in an Element Reference Model (ERM). The ERM is the foundation from which individual constraint schemas (individual situation report types) are defined.
The structure of the EDXL Situation Reporting standard is defined in the following sections:
· Section 3.1, The Element Reference Model (ERM), shows the abstract structural relationships of the main components of the EDXL-SitRep.
· Section 3.2, Distribution of EDXL Situation Reporting, describes practitioner requirements which are met through the EDXL-Distribution Element (DE)
· Sections 3.4.2 through 3.4.6 define the five (5) individual EDXL-SitRep report types
· Section 4 The Data Dictionary, defines each element contained in the EDXL-SitRep standard message
These sections together define the message structure, message element definitions, optionality and cardinality.
The following descriptions provide a brief overview of each EDXL-SitRep component to assist with an overall understanding of this standard's diagrams, figures and tables.
The Non-normative Element Reference Model diagram in Figure 2 of Section 3.1 shows the abstract structural relationships of the main components shown as packages of specific message elements. The EDXLSitRepRoot ERM diagram in Figure 3 of Section 3.3.1 shows the structural relationships of the main Situation Report elements used throughout the individual situation reports.
1. The EDXLSitRepRoot element of the EDXL-SitRep message, containing elements used throughout each individual situation report such as IReport, MessageID, PreparedBy, and IncidentID.
2. A SituationInformation report type identifies and describes the incident with message elements such as IncidentName, IncidentLocation and IncidentType.
3. A FieldObservation report type provides a fast and flexible basic report of an observation in the field by emergency response & management professionals, as a textual description by human parties acting as mobile sensors. This report type is intended for standardized receipt of Field Observations, which may then undergo verification and/or integration into formal Situation Reporting.
4. A CasualtyAndIllnessSummary report type provides counts by responders and non-responders for various categories such as fatalities, missing and hospitalized over specified time periods. These data items may be collected as needed and combined in the manner required for specific reports or for decision making purposes.
5. A ResponseResourcesTotals report type contains responding resources and resource needs to manage and coordinate resource decisions. This report type keeps this information organized together for ease of reference and reuses the EDXL Resource Messaging Elements as needed.
6. A ManagementReportingSummary report type provides for the collection of data related to management concerns such as operational planning, damage and threat assessment, weather conditions, etc. It contains incident organization information where cross-profession or jurisdiction Incident Command structure is in place.
6.1. A SituationSummary package provides supporting information for ManagementReportingSummary or user-defined custom reports.
6.2. A DecisionSupportInformation package likewise provides detailed information supporting the ManagementReportingSummary report type or user-defined custom reports.
7. A Supporting Elements Model package provides the following:
7.1. A CommonTypes Package of elements organized separately to be reused as needed, including. a ValueListTypeInformation subset.
7.2. A ContactInformation Package of elements organized separately to be reused as needed, including the EDXL-CIQ Profile;
7.3. A LocationInformation Package of elements organized separately to be reused as needed including the EDXL-GSF Profile.
Table 1 in Section 3.3 provides a Situation Report Type Summary of the five (5) specific types of Situation Report messages. This provides a quick overview of the message types contained in this standard.
The key words “MUST”, “MUST NOT”, “REQUIRED”, “SHALL”, “SHALL NOT”, “SHOULD”, “SHOULD NOT”, “RECOMMENDED”, “MAY”, and “OPTIONAL” in this document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].
The term “Conditional” as used in this specification is to be interpreted that a message element MUST be used, according to specified rules, within a particular report message type (elements MUST be one of “Required,” “Optional” or “Conditional”).

Below are some of the guiding principles behind the development of EDXL-SitRep:
· Provide a standard message format for the Situation Report
· Separation of EDXL-SitRep message structure from routing header structure
· Provide separate specific formats for the distinct Situation Report Types in order to simplify implementation and use
· Enable dissemination of messages based on geographic delivery area
· Use and reuse of data content and models developed by other initiatives
· Business process-driven specific messaging needs across emergency professions
· Supporting everyday events and incident preparedness, as well as disasters
· 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
The initial requirements submitted to the Technical Committee by the DHS-OIC sponsored EDXL Standards Working Group (SWG) described in Section 1.2 can be reviewed at:

Note: The following examples of usage scenarios were used as a basis for development of the practitioner requirements and messaging specification document which was submitted to OASIS. These scenarios are non-normative and not intended to be exhaustive or to reflect actual practices.
This scenario follows the detection of a train derailment either by a GPS system or by a citizen report via 911/PSAP. An early use case, this specific case illustrated a number of areas where a clarification of the system needs to be made.
Full use case available: http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/32043/EDXL_use_case_Train_Derailv1.5final.doc.
This scenario includes subsequent developments in a traffic accident and biohazard incident.
Levee Break and Evacuation with Law Enforcement Focus
The National Weather Service is reporting that there is no let-up in sight to the rain storm that has been drenching the area for the last 36 hours. An unprecedented amount of rain has fallen. A levee next to a local town is threatening to break.
Estimates of engineers indicate that the levee will only hold for another 2 hours. This is the time frame in which the initial response must take place. Emergency Management has notified local law enforcement: that the 2,000 residents at risk must be evacuated immediately. 200 are elderly, of which 50 are non-ambulatory.
Rising water levels also threaten to cause two major rivers, one flowing through a major neighboring town to the west, to overflow their banks and cause massive flooding across the region. These floods will impact areas of the original town not affected by the impending levee break.
If these rivers do overflow their banks, then an additional and much larger number of people will need to be warned and evacuated.
Full use case available: http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/32042/EDXL_use_case_LeveeBreakEvac_v1.1final.doc.
This scenario takes place in Bayport on a coastal island across a bridge from Fisherville on the mainland. The nearest large city is Central City which is 40 miles away and has two hospitals. The first, Faith Hospital, is a regional cardiac catheterization and care center. Central City Hospital is a level 1 trauma center and operates a medevac helicopter service called Med Flight-1. Fisherville has a small community hospital with a physician-staffed ER. Fisherville Hospital runs a health clinic in Bayport, staffed by a physician assistant. The Bayport EMS (BEMS) staff supports the physician assistant, as well as Central City and Faith Hospital physicians who have patients in Bayport, by working in the clinic

Section 3 of this
Standard is normative unless otherwise stated. If any differences are found
between any XML schema and its associated model, diagram, table or other
artifact or text, then the XML schema shall always take precedence and the
other artifact(s) must be changed to match the XML schema.
Note: Please report any such errors to OASIS.
This section shows the EDXL–SitRep Element Reference Model (ERM). The purpose of the ERM is to define the SitRep structure and the relationships between the main entities and their elements. Using the Unified Modeling Language as a means to illustrate the relationships, the ERM is not strictly normative. It is important that the ERM is not used as an implementation model. The exact semantics and structure are captured in the subsequent sections in the specific predefined EDXL Situation Report Message Types.
The ERM is organized into a top level views first and then in groups of related elements with relationships between those groups and the report type in which they are used.
The Supporting Elements Model package is not specifically associated with any report type or group of elements because these sets of elements are common to all EDXL messages and may be used in any EDXL SitRep message to which they apply.
The EDXLSituationReporting XML Schema is provided separately and included in Appendix B. The top level element (<SitRep> aka <EDXLSitRepRoot>) contains the elements shown in Figure 1. In particular it contains a report-type dependent element report (<report>) of type <IReport>. <IReport> is an Abstract Type that serves as the basis for the five different SitRep report types as shown in Figure 2.
<report xsi:type="FieldObservationType">
Where FieldObservationType references <IReport> as follows:
<xs:complexType name="FieldObservationType">
<xs:complexContent>
<xs:extension base=”IReport”>
...
</xs:extension>
</xs:complexContent>
</xs:complexType>
Figure 1: SitRep TopLevel Structure
This is explained in more detail in the Data Dictionary Section.
Note: the code above declares the Report type based on <IReport> from the XML Schema shown below:
<xs:complexType name="IReport" abstract="true"
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name=”extension”
type=”ext:ExtensionType”
minOccurs=”0” maxOccurs=”unbounded”/>
</xs:sequence>
/>
The EDXL Extensions Section elaborates on the “ext:ExtensionType” extension mechanism of EDXL.
Figure 2: EDXL–SitRep Element Reference Model (ERM) – top level
The SitRep-ERM shows the element-level details for the main entities in EDXL-SitRep overall. The semantics for each of the elements is defined in Sections 3.3.2 through 3.3.5.
The primary purpose of the Emergency Data Exchange Language Situation Reporting (EDXL-SitRep) Specification is to provide a set of standard formats for XML emergency messages containing information pertaining to the situation with which the message senders and recipients are involved. These EDXL-SitRep Messages are specifically designed as payloads of the EDXL-DE. Together EDXL-DE and EDXL-SitRep are intended to expedite activities associated with reporting on various situation and response activities. As set forth in Design Principles, routing and distribution information is found only in the EDXL-DE and not in the EDXL-SitRep.
While the EDXL-SitRep is designed to be an EDXL-DE payload, other routing mechanisms may be used to distribute EDXL-SitRep content if the message metadata is provided in the same form or if the sender specifies specific recipients of the payload.
EDXL Distribution Element (EDXL-DE) V 1.0 was approved as an OASIS standard in April 2006. The EDXL-DE provides a flexible message-distribution framework for data sharing among emergency information systems using XML. The EDXL-DE may be used over any data transmission system, including, but not limited to, the SOAP HTTP binding.
The primary purpose of the Distribution Element is to facilitate the routing of emergency messages to recipients. The Distribution Element may be thought of as a container. It provides the information to route "payload" message sets by including key routing information such as distribution type, geography, incident, and sender/recipient IDs. Messages may be distributed to specific recipients, to recipients in a geographic area, or based on codes such as agency type (police, fire, etc.).
The following subsections describe practitioner requirements which are met through the EDXL-Distribution Element (DE).
The Requirement for identifying the “Message Type” of the EDXL-SitRep is handled by the <distributionType> element of EDXL-DE v1.0. This is distinct from the “Report Type” of an EDXL-SitRep message. It is expected that most EDXL-SitRep messages will be of <distributionType> “Report” shown below.
The <distributionType> element defines the function of the message and this functional name for the EDXL-SitRep “Message Type” takes the form of an XML enumeration where the value must be one of:
· Report - New information regarding an incident or activity.
· Update - Updated information superseding a previous message.
· Cancel - A cancellation or revocation of a previous message.
· Request - A request for resources, information or action.
· Response - A response to a previous request.
· Ack - Acknowledgment of receipt of an earlier message.
· Error - Rejection of an earlier message (for technical reasons).
It is important to note, as will be detailed later, that identifying a text message as a “Request” for a Situation Report is handled by the EDXL <distributionType> element.
The Requirement for identifying the “Message Sender” of the EDXL-SitRep is handled by one or two elements of EDXL-DE v1.0.The EDXL-DE v1.0 <senderID> or an element with the identical definition and properties MUST be present in the EDXL-DE or other routing mechanism used to distribute an EDXL-SitRep message. The <senderRole> or an element with the identical definition and properties MAY be present.
<senderRole> is expressed in an XML ValueList and Value.
· The list and associated value(s) is in the form:
<senderRole>
<valueListUrn>valueListUrn</valueListUrn>
<value>value</value>
</senderRole>
· Where the content of <valueListUrn> is the Uniform Resource Name of a published list of values and definitions, and the content of <value> is a string (which may represent a number) denoting the value itself.
· Multiple instances of the <value>, MAY occur with a single <valueListUrn> within the <senderRole> container.
The EDXL-DE v1.0 <dateTimeSent> element is used to established the date and time the EDXL-DE package containing the EDXL-SitRep message is sent.
· DateTime elements are represented consistent with previous EDXL standards (24-hour clock):
· The date and time is represented in [DateTime] format (e. g., "2008-06-11T16:49:00-07:00" for 11 June 2008 at 16:49 PDT).
· Alphabetic time zone designators such as “Z” MUST NOT be used. The time zone for UTC MUST be represented as “-00:00” or “+00:00”
The message payload of an EDXL-DE package is a <contentObject> identified as <xmlContent> with a <contentDescription> of the EDXL-SitRep Report Type, i.e. FieldObservation, SituationInformation, ResponseResourcesTotals, CasualtyAndIllnessSummary or ManagementReportingSummary.
The Requirement to carry multiple SitRep reports / report types in the same ‘message’ is handled by the the EDXL-DE v1.0, which can carry multiple content objects. Each <contentObject> MUST be well-formed <xmlContent>, or <nonXMLContent>. The EDXL-SitRep is designed to be well-formed XML for routing using the EDXL-DE.
Note: EDXL-DE 2.0 is expected to change the names ‘xmlContent’ and ‘nonXMLContent’.
The Requirement to carry a SitRep “map” or “sketch” as an object or image is handled by the the EDXL-DE v1.0 <nonXMLContent> object. The map or sketch may, for example provide information about the total incident area or total area of operations.
A graphic representation for the IncidentCommandStructure detailed in the SitRep may be optionally provided as an aid to understanding the hierarchy of a given organization’s or agency’s position roles. This should be provided in the form of a graphic image carried by the EDXL-DE message header as separate content object.
A digital version of a signature may optionally be included to provide the authority that authenticates a particular Situation Report. A digital signature must be provided in the form of a graphic image carried by the EDXL-DE message header as separate content object.
The Requirement for identifying the “Sensitivity” or “Releasability” of an EDXL-SitRep is handled through the EDXL-DE v1.0 elements <Confidentiality> and <combinedConfidentiality>.
EDXL-DE has a top-level element <combinedConfidentiality> that indicates the confidentiality of the combined "Content Object" sub-elements. Generally the combined confidentiality is the most restrictive of the confidentiality elements in the "Content Object" element, but it can be more restrictive than any of the individual "Confidentiality" elements.
The <combindedConfidentiality> element MUST be present if a "Confidentiality" element is present in any of the “Content Object” elements.
"Confidentiality" elements are specified in ValueList structures and are used to meet the EDXL-SitRep requirements for "Sensitivity Text" approximately equivalent to a set of values like "Top Secret," "Sensitive, and Classified" and "Sensitive, but Unclassified."
"Confidentiality" elements are also used to meet the EDXL-SitRep requirements for "Releasability Level" which might also be approximately equivalent to a set of values above, but which might also be different, even within a single jurisdiction. So each jurisdiction should establish its own published ValueLists and policies governing these issues.
Several Element Types, such as incidentStartDateTime, borrow re-usable elements from the EDXL Common Types that apply to and support multiple areas of the SitRep messages. For instance incidentStartDateTime relies on the EDXL-CT for a common date/time format.
The Supporting Elements Model distinguishes three groups of elements: CommonTypes (EDXL-CT),
Contact Information (EDXL-CIQ) and Location Information (EDXL-GSF). In this Specification, only the EDXL-CT elements/types are being used directly; yet some elements in EDXL-CT depend on EDXL-CIQ (e.g. ct:PersonDetailsType) or on EDXL-GSF (e.g. ct:EDXLLocationType).
The following elements are used in this specification and can be found at the locations cited in the normative references in Section 1.6 above.

SitRep supports supplemental inclusion of community-defined sets of name/value pairs, referred to here as “Community Extensions” or simply “Extensions” for short. For example, if you send a DE message with an alert or image about an earthquake, you might want to include some specific earthquake data, like the magnitude and depth of the earthquake. There are no earthquake-specific fields in the DE; however, your community can extend the DE to include that information which you represent as a set of parameter elements specifically designed to represent earthquake data. The “Community Extensions” concept solves several major problems for improving information sharing and developing standards for the emergency management community. First, the nature of emergencies is that the unexpected will happen and emergency managers need flexibility to send whatever information is needed. Second, an emergency begins and often stays local, so local authorities and users need control to send the information they decide is important to address the current emergency. Third, communities need the opportunity to explore potential new standards. The parameter name/value extension mechanism, along with the registration and best practice guidance, provides an on-ramp for communities to determine what works well for them. Those Community Extensions which are most successful can be incorporated formally into future standards. (For more detail see Appendix C.2: EDXL Extensions).
As further described below, the EDXLSitRepRoot element is the top level element of the EDXL-SitRep message, containing elements used throughout each individual situation report. This section describes the primary components of EDXL-SitRep including the Root element and the five (5) Report Types.
The SitRep framework is based on a report model. In this model messages do not expect a Response, although a situation report can be requested. There is no inherent message exchange protocol represented in this standard.
A SitRep message MUST be carried as the payload of the EDXL-DE or any other distribution mechanism that satisfies the DE required parameters: distribution type values of Report, Update, Cancel, Request, Response, Ack and Error.
For example, the acknowledgement of a SitRep message is handled by the distribution mechanism. When a message recipient receives a SitRep message, it uses the EDXL-DE DistributionType value of “Ack” as an acknowledgement. An acknowledgement is intended to inform the sender that the SitRep message has been received.
EDXL-SitRep communication is characterized by two classes of primary actors An “Incident Command” is an actor that needs or requires a situation report to undertake response decision(s) during an incident. An “Incident Command System” is an owner, or distributor, or manager of situation reports that can meet the needs of Incident Command. These actors need not belong to the same jurisdiction or organization.
EDXL-SitRep provides five (5) situation report messages defined in this standard, which are summarized in Table 1 below.
Table 1: Situation Report Message Type Summary-- informative only. It shows how situation reports might flow in incident command

EDXLSitRepRoot elements are the collection of elements shown in the Element Reference Model below. The SitRepRoot is at the top of SitRep structure. These elements are common to all EDXL-SitRep Report types, and each of these elements can appear in any report. In contrast to the Supporting Element Types which are common, re-usable elements applicable across the Emergency Data Exchange Language standards, SitRepRoot elements are specific to EDXL-Situation Reporting.
Figure 3: EDXLSitRepRoot Elements
It is of particular significance to note the relationship of the <fromDateTime> and <toDateTime> elements to their parent element <ForTimePeriod>. In this case, while both child elements are REQUIRED whenever the parent element is present, the parent element itself is REQUIRED, making the entire ensemble REQUIRED.
The “FieldObservation” report type is used as a basic report that describes an observation that is directly observed by the reporter (an emergency professional), consisting of only four elements.
Figure 4 shows the FieldObservation report type Element Reference Model. The ERM shows the element-level details for the main entities in this fundamental report message type.
The schema for a FieldObservation message is supplied separately at http://docs.oasis-open.org/emergency/edxl-sr/v1.0/os/ and can be found in Appendix B.
Figure 4: EDXLSitRep ERM for FieldObservation Report Type
The “SituationInformation” report message type details the incident to which the current response is being mounted with elements such as incidentName, incidentKind, incidentComplexity and affectedJurisdiction. SituationInformation intends to draw a concise and accurate picture of the situation.
Figure 5 below shows the SituationInformation report type Element Reference Model. The ERM shows the element-level details for the main entities in the SituationInformation report message type.
In addition, there are rules that apply to several elements that should be reviewed in the Message Rules section.
Figure 5: EDXLSitRep ERM for SituationInformation Message
The schema for a SituationInformation message is supplied separately at http://docs.oasis-open.org/emergency/edxl-sitrep/v1.0/os/ and can be found in Appendix B.
The “ResponseResourcesTotals” report type is used to organize and report on the Resources needed or on hand for responding to the current incident.
Figure 6 shows the ResponseResourcesTotals report type Element Reference Model. The ERM shows the element-level details for the main entities in the ResponseResourcesTotals report message type.
The schema for a FieldObservation message is supplied separately at http://docs.oasis-open.org/emergency/edxl-sitrep/v1.0/os/ and can be found in Appendix B.
Figure 6: EDXLSitRep ERM for ResponseResourcesTotals Message
The schema for a ResponseResourcesTotals message is supplied separately at http://docs.oasis-open.org/emergency/edxl-sitrep/v1.0/os/ and can be found in Appendix B.
The “CasualtyAndIllnessSummary” report type is used to present a collection of vital data about the number and kind of casualties resulting from the incident. It is used by Incident Command to assess resource needs related to treating casualties and planning for associated needs such as Field Morgues, Field Hospitals, Temporary Shelters, etc.
Figure 7 below shows the CasualtyAndIllnessSummary report type Element Reference Model. The ERM shows the element-level details for the main entities in the CasualtyAndIllnessSummary report message type.

The schema for a CasualtyAndIllnessSummary message is supplied separately at http://docs.oasis-open.org/emergency/edxl-sitrep/v1.0/os/ and can be found in Appendix B.
The “ManagementReportingSummary” report type is used to compile, organize and report on various aspects of incident management information across responding organizations and up the chain of command.
Figure 8 below shows the ManagementReportingSummary report type Element Reference Model. The ERM shows the element-level details for the main entities in the ManagementReportingSummary report message type.

The data dictionary is intended to provide detailed definition of each element contained in the EDXL-SitRep standard. Where discrepancies may exist between this dictionary, the Element Reference Model (ERM), and the normative XML, the normative XML shall take precedence.
· Element – Name of the element.
· Type – Type or format of the element.
· Usage – Optionality and Cardinality.
· If no optionality specified, then the element is “Optional”.
· If no Cardinality specified, the element ”MUST be used once and only once”
· Definition – Definition of the element.
· Comments – Additional comments or examples to add clarity.
· Constraints – Limits imposed on the element. Also notes the container or “parent” to which the element belongs.
· Source – Source of the requirement or usage of the element.
· Requirements Supported – A code representing and referring to each requirement contained in the original submission from the practitioner process to OASIS. EACH general, functional or information requirement is accounted for by one or more elements in the data dictionary, and/or by relationships in the message structure, one or more business rules, or through the overall standard (e.g. for general and functional requirements).
The following list of elements / information requirements are addressed through the OASIS EDXL-Distribution Element (DE) routing header (See Section 3.2 of this document for an explanation of each), which is used for routing and distribution of Situation information as well as other EDXL and non-EDXL payloads. The EDXL-SitRep standard is designed as a payload requiring use of a routing header, and specifically designed for use with the EDXL-Distribution Element (DE). The EDXL-DE is the required routing/distribution header for EDXL-SitReps unless an alternative routing header is available which meets all requirements of the EDXL-SitRep standard as specified in this section, and includes each element required of the EDXL-DE standard.

SitRep Use Cases |
The <report> element in SitRepType is a placeholder for report specific data. It is an abstract type that is instantiated by any one of the five (5) separate additional data structures, each of which is needed to build one of the five (5) specialized EDXL-SitReps.
<xs:complexType name="IReport" abstract="true">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="extension" type="ext:ExtensionType"
minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
This means that <IReport> is not directly used in an instance document. It is instantiated by a report specific type that extends the abstract type <IReport> and complements it with report specific, as shown here:
<xs:element name="Report" type="IReport" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1"/>
Report can then be used to declare the Report Type of any given EDXL-SitRep message as shown here:
<Report xsi:type="FieldObservation">

Message types |
The five (5) distinct “Reports”, defined in Sections 3.4.2 through 3.4.5, provide a method to componentize the overall EDXL-SitRep standard into logical groups of elements that support a common purpose.
For example, the ’Casualty and Illness Summary’ is focused only on rollup or aggregation of numbers and percentages representing human casualties by categories such as fatalities, hospitalized or missing.
<sitRep> is the top level element of any sitRep message. It contains a set of shared message elements used across the five (5) predefined EDXL-SitRep “Reports”, that convey information such as MessageID, PreparedBy and ForTimePeriod.

Each EDXL-SitRep message contains a <messageID> that uniquely identifies the message. <originatingMessageID> identifies the <messageID> of the first message in a message sequence to which the message belongs. If the message is itself the originating message in a new sequence, <originatingMessageID> will have the same value as the <messageID> element. In some other cases, the <originatingMessageID> element will have the same value as the <precedingMessageID> element. The <originatingMessageID> value essentially forms a unique identifier for a group of related messages, linking them together so that the relationship between the messages is made explicit and unambiguous (and threads of messages can be tracked by software). |

The FieldObservation Report provides a basic Report Type intended for fast and flexible observation in the field by emergency response & management professionals, providing a collection of facts usually detected by human parties acting as mobile sensors and presented using plain text. Input sources will generally be mobile phones and other mobile devices.
The purpose of a Field Observation is to offer a standardized method of providing “on the ground” input from responders in the field. The intent is standardized receipt of Field Observations, which then may undergo verification and/or integration into formal Situation Reporting.

Incident Organization & Assignments is a component of the “ResponseResourcesTotals” ReportType, providing a hierarchical XML organization structure including information on the names, titles, assignments, organization structure and contact information when an incident Command Structure is put into place (i.e. “who’s in charge of what”).
The purpose is to provide a standard structure with which to carry the Positions, Names, Agency, Branch, and “Report-To” relationships required to share incident organization information as needed across agencies and up the chain of command, such that end applications may if desired create or populate an incident command structure chart.
Note that an actual graphic representing the pictorial representation of the Incident Organization Chart may be carried using a content object within the EDXL-Distribution element, whether produced from the SitRep organization data or produced by other means.
Incident Organization information is also supported by the following re-usable elements associated with the appropriate element:

The “Casualty and Illness Summary” Report Type provides casualty numbers and percentages by prescribed categories over specified time periods. Casualty information categories are further segregated by responders (per the NIMS definition) and non-responders (members of the public).
Fatality information or responder status information MUST be actual, and never estimated.
Note: In regard to “Totals”, totals can be calculated, so separate elements for those values are not included
Each Casualty and Illness Category value (except “#Fatalities”) may be paired with the element “Estimate” (Boolean) to indicate whether the Casualty figure is estimated vs. known / actual.
The example below provides a possible application report which may be developed by an application or system. Although this example shows totals and percentages for illustration, only the raw data counts are carried using this standard.
The example illustrates a list of Casualty and Illness Categories which were selected, including for each the Responder Summary Count and Non-Responder Summary Count for This Reporting Period, and the same for Total Number to Date.

The EDXL-SitRep v1.0 specification has been written with the objective of making conformance to its requirements straightforward and unambiguous.
The two following conformance targets are defined in order to support the specification of conformance to this standard:
· EDXL-SitRep Message; and
· EDXL-SitRep Message Producer and Consumer.
An EDXL-SitRep Message is an XML 1.0 element whose syntax and semantics are specified in this standard. An EDXL-SitRep Message Producer is a software entity that produces EDXL-SitRep Messages.
Note: All the existing requirements for the production of an incoming EDXL-SitRep message are, in fact, requirements on the type and content of the EDXL-SitRep message that a consumer MUST be capable of consuming in order to ingest and process an EDXL-SitRep message. Therefore, a conforming EDXL-SitRep Message Consumer will necessarily meet all the existing requirements for the production of EDXL-SitRep messages.
In summary, an EDXL-SitRep Message is one of the five (5) report type elements specified in sections 3.4.2 to 3.4.6.
Requirements for an EDXL-SitRep Message Producer are given in Section 5.4, and summarized here. An EDXL-SitRep Message Producer is a software entity that produces conforming EDXL-SitRep Messages whenever an EDXL-SitRep Message is expected.
An XML 1.0 element is a conforming EDXL-SitRep Message if and only if:
a) it meets the general requirements specified in Section 3.3;
b) if its namespace name is "urn:oasis:names:tc:emergency:EDXL:SitRep:1.0:msg", then its local name is one of the five (5) report type names specified in sections 3.5 to 3.9 (also listed in Table 1), and the element is valid according to the schema located at
http://docs.oasis-open.org/emergency/EDXL-SitRep/EDXL-SitRep.xsd, where validation is performed against the element declaration with the same local name;
c) if its namespace name is "urn:oasis:names:tc:emergency:EDXL:SitRep:1.0:msg", then its content (which includes the content of each of its descendants) meets all the additional mandatory requirements provided in the specific subsection of Section 3 (sections 3.5 to 3.9) corresponding to the element’s name, with the exception of the Message Flow; such requirements include:
◦ the content of the Element Reference Model;
◦ each of the Message Rules; and
◦ the normative parts (element name, usage, and constraints) of any Data Dictionary entries (in Section 4.) corresponding to the elements that actually occur in the content of the element;
A software entity is a conforming EDXL-SitRep Message Producer if and only if it is constructed in such a way that any XML 1.0 element produced by it and present in a place in which a conforming EDXL-SitRep message is expected (based on contextual information) is indeed a conforming EDXL-SitRep message according to this standard.
Note: The condition above can be satisfied in many different ways. Here are some examples of possible scenarios:
· a standard distribution protocol (say, EDXL-DE) transfers EDXL-SitRep messages; a branch of a local responder agency involved in responding to a local incident has sent an EDXL-SitRep SituationInformation Report Type message to an the Incident Command Divisional Commander which claims to be a conforming EDXL-SitRep Message Producer and Consumer, and has received an EDXL-DE message of DistributionType “Ack” including the MessageID of the EDXL-SitRep SituationInformation Report Type message sent earlier, which is therefore expected to communicate that the EDXL-SitRep SituationInformation Report Type message sent earlier has been received and ingested.
· a local test environment has been set up, and the application under test (which claims to be a conforming EDXL-SitRep Message Producer) has the ability to produce an EDXL-SitRep message and write it to a file in a directory in response to a request coming from the testing tool; the testing tool has sent many requests to the application under test and is now verifying all the files present in the directory, which is expected to contain only conforming EDXL-SitRep Messages.

Appendix C EDXL Special Mechanisms [comment?]
Appendix C.1 Selecting values from lists [comment?]
The ValueList and ValueKey types are part of the EDXL Common Types collection. They allow standards adopters to use topic specific lists of values for elements such as raceEthnicity, fluenSpokenLanguages, specialTransportationNeeds, etc.. Both types have identical structure, but ValueList allows for selection of multiple values [1..*] in the list, whereas ValueKey allows for selection of only one [1..1] value in the list.
When using a ValueList / ValueKey structure the user can specify a user-defined list by URI (either using the “urn:...” format or the more familiar “http://...” format) and then include user-defined values from that list. This structure has several advantages: (a) it provides flexibility for local communities to use community-defined terms and vocabulary; (b) it allows for the external maintenance of local or standardized lists; and (c) it avoids the problems inherent in attempting to constantly update hard-coded enumerations in a specification.
An existing vetted list should be referenced for defaults, but users could also reference their own value list.
Appendix C.1.1 ValueListType [comment?]
The schema for ct:ValueListType is defined as
<xs:complexType name="ValueListType">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element ref="ct:ValueListURI" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1"/>
<xs:element ref="ct:Value" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
and its application to the XML description of an element elementName of type ct:ValueListType would be:
<elementName>
<ct:ValueListURI>valueListURI</ct:ValueListURI>
<ct:Value>value_1</ct:Value>
…
<ct:Value>value_n</ct:Value>
</elementName>
In the Data Dictionary we describe examples of elements of type ct:ValueListType by listing value assignments to valueListURI and value_1, …, value_n.
So for instance an example for “specialMedicalNeeds” is described by
- valueListURI = urn:myagency:gov:ahrq:specialMedicalNeeds and
- value_1 = Ventilator
- value_2 = Oxygen
which stands for
<specialMedicalNeeds>
<ct:ValueListURI>urn:myagency:gov:ahrq:specialMedicalNeeds</ct:ValueListURI>
<ct:Value>Ventilator</ct:Value>
<ct:Value>Oxygen</ct:Value>
</specialMedicalNeeds>
This example contains two special needs, one whose value is “Ventilator” and one whose value is “Oxygen”. These are notional needs created for this example. The needs are identified as values from a list whose unique Uniform Reference Identifier (URI) is “urn:myagency:gov:ahrq:specialMedicalNeeds”.
A note about ValueList: the multiplicity of ValueList can be a source for confusion. Typically, 1 is the maximum number of occurrences of ValueList. This means that at most one such list may occur for a given element; this does not preclude the user from selecting multiple entries from that list (maxOccurs = “unbounded”).
Appendix C.1.2 ValueKeyType [comment?]
The schema for ValueKeyType is defined as
<xs:complexType name="ValueKeyType">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element ref="ct:ValueListURI" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1"/>
<xs:element ref="ct:Value" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
and its application to the XML description of an element elementName of type ct:ValueKeyType would be:
<elementName>
<ct:ValueListURI>valueListURI</ct:ValueListURI>
<ct:Value>value</ct:Value>
</elementName>
This example uses a published list of values and definitions and selects one specific entry to describe the eyeColor of a patient:
- valueListURI = urn:myagency:gov:OMG:eyeColors
- value = Green
which stands for
<eyeColor>
<ct:ValueListURI>urn:myagency:gov:OMG:eyeColors</ct:ValueListURI>
<ct:Value>Green</ct:Value>
</eyeColor>
Following the approach in ValueList, we'd point ValueListURI to some other list to make a different selection of eye colors available.
Appendix C.2 EDXL Extensions [comment?]
The challenge when developing standardized formats is to balance the need to define specific elements of emergency information that we can all agree upon and yet provide flexibility for local communities to include their particular information using their familiar vocabulary. EDXL addresses this concern by providing the common defined terms in the formal standards for the former, and by providing extension mechanisms for the latter.
Typical needs are:
1. Community augmentation: community adds new information that is associated with the EDXL standard. Examples: adding HL7 translation information to the TEP.
2. List augmentation: community adds new values (enumerations) to the default set of values in the standard. Example: adding FlightRisk value to the TEP contingencyMedicalSpecialityCode list.
3. List replacement:: community replaces the default set of values in the standard in its entirety. Example: defining TriageStatus with number codes instead of colors.
4. List redefinition: community reassigns the meaning of the default set of values in the standard in its entirety. Example: redefining the Black TriageCode to mean actively dying but not yet deceased.
EDXL combines the CommunityExtension mechanism with the ValueList and ValueKey types to deal with these needs. CommunityExtension addresses need 1.; ValueList / ValueKey address need 3. ; and combined they address needs 2. and 4.
For more details about EDXL Extensions and usage guidance, refer to the white paper [EDXL Extensions] referenced in section 1.6 above.
A “CommunityExtension”, or simply “Extension”, is a term used to describe supplemental message information that a community wants to add to the otherwise standard message information normally contained within an EDXL standard message. It is defined by the ExtensionType which consists of a [1..*] set of name/value pairs.
The schema for ExtensionType is defined as
<xs:complexType name="ExtensionType">
<!-- Base type to allow communities to extend/augment an EDXL data standard -->
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="community" type="xs:anyURI">
<!-- Unique community identifier -->
</xs:element>
<xs:element name="id" type="xs:anyURI">
<!-- Unique identifier for this extension -->
</xs:element>
<xs:element name="parameter" type="ext:ParameterType" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
where "ParameterType" is defined as a group of elements used to extend/augment the data standard
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="nameURI" type="ext:ParameterNameType">
<!-- Unique identifier of a parameter -->
</xs:element>
<xs:element name="value" type="ext:ParameterValueType" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
</xs:sequence>
with "ParameterNameType" being defined as a URI with optional xPath attribute
and "ParameterValueType" being defined as a ct:EDXLStringType" with optional "uom" attribute.
Its application to the XML description of an element elementName of type ext:ExtensionType would be:
<ext:ExtensionType xmlns=”urn:oasis:names:tc:emergency:edxl:extension:1.0”>
<community>communityURI</community>
<id>extensionURI</id>
<parameter>
<nameURI>name</nameURI>
<value>value</value>
</parameter>
...
<parameter> … </parameter>
</ext:ExtensionType>
If that extension is to be used for adding a community specific item in an enumeration, we indicate this by adding
<xsd:enumeration value="ExtensionValue"/>
to the enumeration affected.
Note that this mechanism should be used only for required elements – if an element is optional, it could be completely replaced by any community extension, with its own name and structure.
Note also that for each example we assume that the schema contains the following element to allow for adding extensions:
<xsd:element name="extension"
type="ext:ExtensionType" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
Appendix C.2.1 Community augmentation [comment?]
The following example illustrates the use of ExtensionType to build a community specific “layer” .
Example: adding an “earthquake layer” to an EDXL standard
- XML invocation:
<extension>
<community>http://www.myCommunity.org/layers/earthquake/</community>
<id>earthquakeLayer</id>
<parameter>
<nameURI>http://example/layers/earthquake/Magnitude</nameURI>
<value
uom=”http://example/layers/earthquake/RichterScale”>5.3</value>
</parameter>
<parameter>
<nameURI>http://example/layers/earthquake/EventTime</nameURI>
<value>2010-08-30T23:25:40+00:00</value>
</parameter>
<parameter>
<nameURI>http://example/layers/earthquake/Depth</nameURI>
<value
uom=”http://qudt.org/vocab/unit/MileInternational>38.7</value>
</parameter>
</extension>
Appendix C.2.2 List augmentation [comment?]
If the list is defined as a ValueList or a ValueKey, then use the corresponding mechanisms described above to point to revised lists. If the list is defined as an enumeration, then the augmentation can be achieved with the Extension mechanism.
The following example illustrates the use of ExtensionType to add community specific enumeration(s).
Example: adding “ReleasedForRehab” and “PostRehabRecidivismt” o PatientCurrentDispositionDefaultValues enumeration in TEP
- schema particulars:
<xsd:simpleType
name="PatientCurrentDispositionDefaultValues">
<xsd:restriction
base="ct:EDXLStringType">
<xsd:enumeration
value="Discharged "/>
<xsd:enumeration
value="Transferred"/>
<xsd:enumeration
value="Deceased"/>
<xsd:enumeration
value="NoTreatmentRequired"/>
<xsd:enumeration
value="RefusedCare"/>
<xsd:enumeration
value="TreatedAndReleased"/>
<xsd:enumeration
value="TreatedAndTransferredCare"/>
<xsd:enumeration
value="TreatedAndTransported"/>
<xsd:enumeration
value="Admitted"/>
<xsd:enumeration
value="TreatedAndTransportedToHospital"/>
<xsd:enumeration
value="Pending-Ongoing"/>
<xsd:enumeration
value="ExtensionValue"/>
</xsd:restriction>
</xsd:simpleType>
and some URI (e.g. www.patientDispositionExtension.org), enumerates the additional values:
<xsd:restriction base=”ct:EDXLStringType”>
<xsd:enumeration value=”ReleasedForRehab”/>
<xsd:enumeration value=”PostRehabRecidivism”/>
</xsd:restriction>
- XML invocations:
<patientCurrentDisposition>ExtensionValue</patientCurrentDisposition>
...
<extension>
<community>http://www.patientDispositionExtension.org</community>
<id>specialDispositionRehab</id>
<parameter>
<nameURI xPath=”/.../patientCurrentDisposition”>
http://example/US/EMS/dispositionCodes
</nameURI>
<value>ReleasedForRehab</value>
</parameter>
</extension>
Appendix C.2.3 List replacement [comment?]
If the list is defined as a ValueList or a ValueKey, then use the corresponding mechanisms described above to point to a replacement list. If the list is defined as an enumeration, then the replacement can be achieved with the Extension mechanism.
Example: the default triage codes are {“Red", "Yellow", "Green, "Blue", "Black" and "ExtensionValue"}. To allow for the use of “Purple” from a different list of values, the TEP message would look like:
<TEPMessage>
<extension>
<community>http://example/US/EMS</community>
<id>layer2</id>
<parameter>
<nameURI xPath="./patient/patientEncounter/patientCare/triageStatus"> http://example/US/EMS/triageCodes
<value>Purple</value>
</parameter>
</extension>
...
<patient>
<patientEncounter>
<patientCare>
<triageStatus>ExtensionValue</triageStatus>
</patientCare>
</patientEncounter>
</patient>
</TEPMessage>
Appendix C.2.4 List redefinition [comment?]
If the list is defined as a ValueList or a ValueKey, then use the corresponding mechanisms described above to point to list redefinitions. If the list is defined as an enumeration, then the redefinition can be achieved with the Extension mechanism. Note that list redefinition may pose significant risk to interoperability and therefore, whether the list is completely redefined or only partially, best practices suggest that the extension mechanism must be used, to signal that risk.
Example: if one or more triage values are the same but have different meaning, then we use a redefined list with Extension:
<TEPMessage>
<extension>
<community>http://example/US/EMS</community>
<id>layer2</id>
<parameter>
<nameURI xPath=”./patient/patientEncounter/patientCare/triageStatus”>
http://example/US/EMS/triageCodes
<value>Black</value>
</parameter>
</extension>
…
<patient>
<patientEncounter>
<patientCare>
<triageStatus>ExtensionValue</triageStatus>
</patientCare>
</patientEncounter>
</patient>
</TEPMessage>
