Description
This Working Draft 10 version of the Distribution Element 2.0 proposes adding support for "Layers" to the EDXL Common Types
and to the DE 2.0. A "Layer" is a set of name/value pairs that allows users to extend the DE 2.0 with community-defined business data. For more info on the concept of "Layers", see https://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/emergency-rim/download.php/46833/Draft-Environment-Canada-Layer%20(2).doc.
