Description
An exploration into representing EDXL messages, in this case a Common Alert Protocol (CAP) message, in JavaScript Object Notation (JSON), specifically in JSON-LD (Linked Data). The zip file contains a sample CAP message in the traditional XML format, and then also in the JSON-LD format. In addition, there is a supporting sample CAP ontology in a couple formats, as well as the CAP message converted into triples and related formats. The goal of the exploration is to see if this approach can achieve the following goal: Broad and easy use and reuse of EDXL standards and sub-elements in modern JSON-friendly format, with support for linked data, automatically convertible into RDF, with flexible reuse of individual elements by user community as needed, but with oasis-defined identifiers, namespaces, and meaning (through an EDXL ontology) under the control and maintenance of OASIS Emergency Management TC.
