Coordinating Emergency Data Standards Development with NIEM Insights from Industry Experts

This panel discussion features key experts from the DHS and FEMA as they evaluate the current state of coordination between the NIEM Emergency Management Domain and standards development processes like EDXL. Panel members, including Donna Roy, Denis Gusty, Scott Shoup, and Tim Grapes, address questions from system architects and developers on topics such as the integration of existing standards, the conformity of EDXL with NIEM, and the governance of data standards. The session provides insights and a collaborative approach to emergency data standardization.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Coordinating the Development and Adoption of Emergency Data Standards With The Ongoing Development of NIEM Status and Questions

  2. Panel Members • Panel Members • Donna Roy – Director, DHS Enterprise Data Management Office, NIEM Executive Director • Denis Gusty – Deputy Director, DHS Office for Interoperability and Compatibility, Lead for DHS data Interoperability. Co-lead NIEM Emergency Management Domain • Scott Shoup – IT Specialist for FEMA Enterprise Architecture, Co-lead NIEM Emergency Management Domain • Tim Grapes – VP, Evolution Technologies, NIEM EM Domain Support, OASIS EM TC Voting Member • Gary Ham (Moderator) – System Architect, FEMA Disaster Management Program, OASIS EM TC Founding member

  3. Schedule • Panel members will be asked to speak in turn on their evaluation of the current state of coordination and four more direct questions that might be asked by system architects and actual developers. • Two minutes per panel member per question. • Rotating “first answer” by different panel members for each question. • We are staying on time give the audience time for questions.

  4. Coordination Status To Date • Coordination has begun between the NIEM EM Domain and the requirements development process used for EDXL. What is your take on this process so far? • Comments by the panel: • Donna • Denis • Scott • Tim

  5. Developer Questions (1) • Grant language says NIEM, or EDXL (sometimes just CAP), or some other external standard (like IEEE1512). What do I do? How do I choose? • Comments by the panel • Denis • Scott • Tim • Donna

  6. Developer Questions (2) • If I want to use the IEPD approach to document my exchange, do I have to redefine elements drawn from a currently approved EDXL Standard as fully NIEM compliant elements? In other words, is EDXL considered NIEM conformant, or not? • Comments by the panel • Scott • Tim • Donna • Denis

  7. Developer Questions (3) • Should we bring concepts that exist in other standards into NIEM? How do we do that for EDXL? Do we use the same approach for other Standards (like IEEE1512)? • Comments by the panel • Tim • Donna • Denis • Scott

  8. Developer Questions (4) • Considering these issues, how do we manage the “governance” process? • Loose coupling with a standard process for reusing external standards in NIEM conformant IEPDs (as currently defined in the NDR)? • An integrated process with a cross-dependent development schedule and combined governance structure? • Or something in between? • Comments by the panel • Donna • Denis • Scott • Tim

  9. Audience Questions 15 Minutes for Audience Questions
