As Gavin indicated, CIQ would be useful for the "who" and part of the  
"where" and you could look at GeoRSS for the (spatial) "where". The  
"what" could be new "roles" as part of CIQ.

This is a good example of what this XG can do and provide back to the  
community.

For example, we can look at what is required to move towards full  
specifications for the two Use Cases we now have (WWWW and Missing  
People). And make recommendations based on that.
