(non-semantic) "pragmatic and anticipatory" dimensions
to the issue of interoperability and web services.
The following is a slide and text from the, US federal, DMIS (Disaster Management Interoperability Services ) working group.
This slide depicts the most basic model
for sharing information up a government hierarchy in a large-scale incident
response. As a scenario for setting
context, imagine an earthquake that has produced consequences in several local
jurisdictions. To keep the slide
simpler, let's presume that "horizontal posting" among mutual aid
partners and peers is also occurring.
In this first model, DMIS COGs are
structured to precisely match the organizational structure in a government
hierarchy such as a city, county, state, or whatever represents the hierarchy
in your area of regard. Each DMIS COG
has membership that is essentially constrained to the individuals working for
the COG's organization. In this model,
higher-level organizations receiving incident records from multiple lower-level
organizations would have to add summary data to a copy of an incident record
(transferred from a lower level) to summarize the situation for their area of
regard. In this environment, there are
often several DMIS Messenger sessions going on simultaneously.
