Re: [emergency] FYI: OGC Emergency and Disaster Management DomainWorking Group

Hi Carl,

    

    Is NCOIC not an OGC Alliance Partner? 

    

    If not, should I suggest that at the upcoming NCOIC Plenary Sept.
    27-Oct. 1, 2010? 

    

    In sub-bullet three, is "Emergency Response Core Services" identical
    to NCOIC Net-Enabled Emergency Response Integrated Project Team
    (NEER-IPT) "Core Services"? 

    

    is there a need for an NCOIC representative to OGC? If there is one,
    can you give me that person's contact info? I'm speaking with Paul
    Mangione this afternoon, is there anything you'd like me to ask him?

    

    I would suggest including NATO in this mix since the
    Civilian-Military Cooperation (CIMIC) effort is a great deal more
    important in Europe than here, not that it is unimportant here.

    

    The leader/lead author of the TSO is Martine Couturier of EADS. I
    would suggest inviting her, and making sure that OGC-GML is included
    in her work with TSO (Tactical Situation Object). OGC is not
    mentioned in the presentation on it.

    

    Cheers,

    Rex
