1.1
Purpose
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.
1.2
History
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.
1.3
Structure of the EDXL Situation Reporting
Specification
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.
1.4
Terminology
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”).

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
2.1 Requirements for Design
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:
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/32036/EDXL-SitRep-Rqmts-MsgSpec020209.pdf

2.2 Example
Usage Scenarios
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.
2.2.1 Train Derailment Example
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.
2.2.2 Levee Break and Evacuation with Law
Enforcement Focus
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.
2.2.3 EMS Call
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
Full use case
available: http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/32041/EDXL_use_case_EMS_Callv1.4final.doc.
2.2.4 Road Rescue -- Highway Incident Scenario
& Use Case
This scenario
timeline was pieced together using actual documents supporting the “ROAD RESCUE
06 Exercise Plan”, a joint, full scale mass casualty exercise involving
Baltimore County, the private sector and the State of Maryland on March 20,
2006.

3 EDXL Situation Reporting Model (Normative
unless otherwise stated)
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.
3.1
Element Reference Model (Non-normative)
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.
3.1.1
Report Types Instantiate Abstract Type IReport
(Non-normative)
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.
3.2
Distribution of EDXL-SitRep
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.
3.2.1 EDXL
Distribution Element (EDXL-DE)
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).
3.2.1.1
Identifying SitRep MessageType
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.
3.2.1.2
Identifying Message Sender
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.
3.2.1.3
DateTime Message Sent
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”
3.2.1.4
Identifying Situation Report
Type
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.
3.2.1.5
Multiple Report Types (Content
Objects) in the Same ‘Message’
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’.
3.2.1.6
MapSketch BinaryObject
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.
3.2.1.7
IncidentCommandStructureGraphic
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.
3.2.1.8
Signature
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.
3.2.1.9
Sensitivity
and Releasability
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.
3.3
Supporting Elements
3.3.1 Common Types
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).
3.4
Situation Report Root and
Report Types
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.

3.4.1 EDXLSitRep Root
Elements
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.
3.4.2

Data Dictionary (Normative)
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).
4.1
“Routing Header” Elements
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.

4.2.1 IReport Type
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">

|
|
|

|
|

IReport MUST NOT be used
directly in any EDXL-SitRep message of any Report Type. It is part of the XML

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.
4.2.2 Common SitRep
Elements
<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 contains an identifier that uniquely identifies the EDXL-SitRep
message / Report.
|
|
|
The EDXL
Distribution Element contains the "Distribution ID", which
identifies the container for the distribution message information. messageID
is the same element as used in EDXL-RM.

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 PrecedingMessageID
identifies the message that immediately preceded the current message in the
message sequence. This messageID is a SitRep <messageID> not an
EDXL-Distribution Element MessageID.
|
|
|
·
Typically
SitReps are sequential from a given sender or authoritative source, but
parallel SitReps will occur from several senders or sources.
·
This is
particularly important given the fact that different jurisdictions may refer
to the same incident or event in different ways and even define them
differently.

FieldObservation Report Type
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.
|

|
|
|

FieldObservation
refers to directly observed phenomena in the field reported by the actual
witness to the events reported in this EDXL-SitRep report message type.
|
|
|
This
is an intentionally general report type meant to be reported as immediately
and directly as possible.
Speculation, even if based
on experience is discouraged in this report type, so discussion of the past
causes and future development are not specifically included.
FieldObservation
is intended to be quick and brief to expedite the quickest possible
appropriate response.

4.5.2 OrganizationAndAssignments
Complex Type
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:

given to the top level of the organization structure of an Incident
Command Structure (also referred to as
an “Incident Management Organization and “Unified Command”), when such an
organization is in place in response to a large and/or complicated incident
requiring cross-profession and jurisdiction coordination. This name typically
contains reference to the incident or disaster name.
The overall
structure contains 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.
Incident
Command structure and personnel may change over the course of an incident, or
shifts may transition in/out of active incident management roles.

An agency is a type of organization, which is a division of
government with a specific function, or a nongovernmental organization (e.g.,
private contractor, business, etc.) that offers a particular kind of
assistance. In ICS, agencies are
defined as jurisdictional (having statutory responsibility for incident
mitigation) or assisting and/or cooperating (providing resources and/or
assistance). (See Assisting Agency, Cooperating Agency, and Multi-agency.)

CasualtyAndIllnessSummary Report Type
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 name
of the jurisdiction (a pre-defined physical location or geo-political area,
organization or agency over which legal authority extends) affected by the
incident, where the incident originated, or which holds certain authority
within its own jurisdiction as well as authority and responsibility in regard
to mutual aid agreements.
Part of
the AffectedJurisdiction XML structure.
|
|
|
·
It is recognized
that this definition mixes two types of concepts:
·
Reference to an
organization or agency that has “Authority” over something (such as an
incident, or a set of identified resources).
Jurisdiction in this sense may be general, such as “federal”, “city”,
or “state”, or may be specific agency names such as “Warren County”, “US
Coast Guard”, “Panama City”, and “NYPD”.
·
Reference to a
pre-defined physical location or geo-political area
·
Though a
jurisdiction itself is not a person, role, or title, a jurisdiction has
assigned to it one or more government personnel with legal authority for
certain types of decision-making such as allocation of emergency resources
and invocation of mutual aid agreements.

·
“Initial” - This
is the first transmission of this kind of Report from the same source
(“AuthorizedBy”) for this incident or event.
The “Initial” Report MAY contain the “OriginatingMessageID”.
·
“Update” - A
subsequent SitRep MessageReportType from the same source (“AuthorizedBy”) for
the same incident or event.
·
“Final” - The
last of this specific SitRep MessageReportType to be submitted from same
source (“AuthorizedBy”) for the same incident or event. A SitRep may also have a ReportVersion of
"Final" if they become part of a new Complex Incident (although
this is rare)

The EDXL-SitRep v1.0 specification has been written with the
objective of making conformance to its requirements straightforward and
unambiguous.
5.1
Conformance Targets
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.
5.2
Conformance Summaries for EDXL-SitRep Messages
and Producers
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.
5.3
Conformance as an EDXL-SitRep Message
5.3.1 EDXL-SitRep
Message
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;
5.4
Conformance as an EDXL-SitRep Message Producer
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.

EDXL Special Mechanisms
Appendix
C.1
Selecting values from lists
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
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
<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”).

ValueKeyType
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
<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
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
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
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
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
</nameURI>
<value>Purple</value>
</parameter>
</extension>
...
<patient>
<patientEncounter>
<patientCare>
<triageStatus>ExtensionValue</triageStatus>
</patientCare>
</patientEncounter>
</patient>
</TEPMessage>
Appendix
C.2.4
List redefinition
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
</nameURI>
<value>Black</value>
</parameter>
</extension>
…
<patient>
<patientEncounter>
<patientCare>
<triageStatus>ExtensionValue</triageStatus>
</patientCare>
</patientEncounter>
</patient>
</TEPMessage>
