Re: [emergency] Profile guidance

Yes, I am still out here – lurking 

 

The OGC follows ISO definitions (in the ISO directives) for profiles.

Here's 
a question for the group. 

 

Is it worth noting that the profiles that have been created for CIQ and GML 
are FOR the EDXL suite, as opposed to profiles made IN the EDXL suite? 

 
CIQ and GML are both very powerful information standards and they 
support profile usage, usually on an industry basis - I think of GML with its 
various profiles (Simple Features, CityGML, etc.) and that makes 
sense.
 
Perhaps this helps explain profile usage in the 
TC?
 
cheers,
 
Darrell

Hi 
  Chet,

  
 

  
The 
  EM-TC is revisiting its use of Profile for our CAP.  We have as you know 
  developed CS EDXL Profiles for CIQ and GML Simple Features.  The profiles 
  for EDXL are under the guidance and development of our RIM-SC.  CAP 
  profiles to date have been recommended to the TC through work done in a 
  specially chartered CAP Profiles SC.  CAP is a bit different in that it 
  (to date) has been brought to the TC from an external source.  The CIQ 
  and GML-SF were internally generated to support our common types efforts 
  through our developing specifications. 

  
 

  
CAP 
  is also unique in that it has such wide spread international and 
  cross-discipline use; comments raised during the CAP workshop about the use of 
  and better definition of when and how it profiles should be used; the question 
  of whether we properly follow ISO guidance, any applicability to use of 
  profiles with ASN.1 and the effects on x.1303, etc….  The TC is taking a 
  look at our past in this areas and reviewing the reasons we are where we 
  are.  Much of this was discussed when we first developed the IPAWS 
  profile.  At that time I too asked for OASIS technical guidance and 
  studied the use of profiles throughout the organization.  We factored 
  that guidance into our direction.  As now some time has passed, I want to 
  ask you for any guidance you might have for us given some of the specific 
  issues raised above.  If you would like to schedule a call to discuss, 
  please let me know.  Our TC meets on alternating Tues (July 3 next 
  meeting) at 12ET if you would like to join and speak to the group as a whole 
  on the matter or schedule a time after that for a specific discussion. 
  

  
 

  
Thank 
  you as always for your consideration and support for our 
work!
