Re: Requirement for 3W interop standard

I may not be able to dial in tomorrow due to a conflict with a
long-scheduled dental appointment in the morning.

I had one broad suggestion looking at version 1 of the "framework
concepts".

To progress todard a data schema we should organize these into Subject Areas
and probably need to go beyond Who, What Where and Why although these might
be first approximations - people are "who" but are organizations "Who" or
"what" ? ...We have "What" and Who as first order entity in our Framework,
but we also have 2nd order entities that are sub-types of these.

We would need to organize the sub-types into theire higher order types.  For
example if "What" includes "Organizations" it would also include
"activities" , which has many sub-types (like Communicastion). A major one
of these is Diaster-Related Activity, which I've adapted from some health
care models as a start.* *


*Diaster-Related Activity *

Action performed for the purpose of documenting, investigating, reporting on
 or improving the disaster condition of a party.



Diaster-Related Activity  is in turn a* *Supertype of Intervention,
Notification, Observation, Referral.

A sub-type is "Assistance", which we have in our Framework



Diaster-Related Activity  is in turn a* *Supertype of Intervention,

A second comment is to consider ossible perspectives to support. For various
"activities" our perspectives include:



• *Fact *about an occurred activity



• *Command*, such as a evacuation or vaccination order



• *Master table *of possible activities



• *Definition *

 **

• *Intent *for an outcome of an activity



Well I hope this fragment is useful, more as time permits.
