Description
This version of "Welcome to the RIM" has been reformatted to match the White Paper template used for the DE Basics document.
"Welcome to the Rim" provides a basic introduction to the purpose and need for an OASIS EDXL Reference Information Model (RIM). The paper discusses the importance of the RIM development and encourages participation. The RIM is a set of concepts fundamental to emergency information exchange, including lessons learned, which serves as a guide for more efficient and effective implementation standards. When fully developed, the RIM will help to define the nature of emergency information exchange and guide the future development of needed information exchange standards.
