  1. Information Sharing and Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) – How Interoperable Data can enable Cross Organizational Communication Pete O’Dell Founder/Director Swan Island Networks Pete.odell@swanisland.net Swan Island Networks, Inc.

  2. Introduction, bias & rules • Introduction: • Biz and technical guy • Lots of experience (AKA made many mistakes) • Writing a book, building a company • Bias: • Action – do something, fix it, repeat • Standards – do it predictably once it works • Rules/request for this presentation: • Make it interesting – life is short • Questions drive response and focus • Critical feedback appreciated

  3. Bottom line up front ( BLUF ) • Interoperable data important • Moving toward critical mass globally • Massive increase in structured feeds: • Sensors, systems (CAP), publishers (RSS) • Disparate examples – I/M to E/M • Govt taking active interest - NIEM • 3 choices: • Make it happen • Watch it happen • Wonder what happened

  4. Standards – reaching back in time • Great Wall of China – 3 generations • Eli Whitney and interchangeable parts • Railroad tracks • 7.62mm ammunition (real bullets) • Shipping containers • Manual load/pack/unload - longshoremen • 1950’s – first container shipments • Ports rose and fell based on adoption • 8,000x productivity increase over 40 years • World trade enabled

  5. Technology standards - our lifetime…. • COBOL – Grace Hopper - Arlington • Credit Cards – early standard data • Uniform Product Codes • IBM PC – normalized many other types • TCP/IP – trumped several competitors • World Wide Web (HTML) – When? Who? • SGML/XML – structure for other machines instead of pages for people

  6. Information Sharing – what it is? • Traits: • Cross organizational (FSLTIPP) • Comprehensible (sent/received) • Trusted (publisher/recipient) • Re-purposeable • Where it failed: • 9/11 – dots failed to connect (2001) • Indonesian Tsunami (2004) • Katrina – incredible lack of comms (2005) • Recent Australia fires (2009) • Are we much improved? No.

  7. Common Alerting Protocol • Art Botterell – California, Contra Costa • Disparate & proprietary systems • Emergency Interoperability Committee • OASIS (Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards) • Versions 1.1 – Now in NIEM • Adopters: • NOAA, USGS – weather, tsunami, quakes • Comcare Alliance • FEMA – IPAWS • WMO – World weather

  8. Key CAP Design Principals • Simple • Interoperable • Complete • Multi-use • Familiarity • Interdisciplinary • International

  9. Some CAP uses today • NOAA (US Weather) • WMO(global weather) • USGS Earthquake • Tsunami Warning • Sensor alerts • 9-1-1 feeds • Geo-political alerts • Transportation • Ships (AIS) • Health Alerts • Snow load (WM) • LE Events (raid) • Financial events • Incident mgmt – WEB EOC, ETEAM • FEMA-IPAWS

  10. TIES – Trusted Information Exchange System • Bias – My product • Visual - Dashboards • Easy to use – little to no training • Trusted Communities - authorized • Built around CAP and other standards • Targeting & filtering • Common and User Defined Operating Picture • Real time, real easy

  11. Why important for transparency? • Data allows you do what you need • Supports real time notifications • Geospatial alerts – monitor by region, district, neighborhood • Targeting and filtering – get what you want • Systems can interlock with each other easily versus proprietary code or trying to have one system

  12. Wrap-up • Critical feedback appreciated • Pete.odell@swanisland.net • 202-460-9207
