Re: EM Standards List

I will be adding some information to the wiki.

I know that Renato did mention "categorize". I would like to add that 
without context, providing an unstructured list of possible applicable 
standards for use in the EM community may be confusing. I suggest we think 
of an architecture framework, even at a relatively course level such as the 
seven layers of the IP stack. For example, there are a number of internet 
standards, such as PIDF and location enabled SIP, that will be required by 
law for use as part of the US Next Generation 9-1-1 initiative. These 
standards are designed to work at various levels in the IP stack. Then we 
have OASIS standards, such as CAP and xAL, that would be in the applications 
layer of the stack. Then of course there are numerous OGC standards that 
have high value for use in the EM community.

In addition to some level of reference architecture, process and wiring 
diagrams might also help to show how each standard is related to another 
standard for use in the EM community.

Just some initial thoughts.
