2. U.S. Geo-Political Example Geographic AreaPolitical Authority (Jurisdictions) Solar System, Galaxy, Universe: Are definedSolar System, Galaxy, Universe: To be determined Earth: A larger geographic region which includes all of Nations on the face of the planet. United Nations: International organization formed to promote international peace, security, and cooperation under the terms of the UN charter. Nation: A larger geographic region which includes 50 States or several territories. United States: The authority to regulate behavior of population within it’s geographic region and limited to authority granted by states via the US constitution States: A larger geographic region which includes one or more counties State: The authority to regulate the behavior of population within it’s geographic region and is the basic politic body which together make up the federal union of United States of America. County: (or Tribal): A larger geographic region which may include one or more cities County: The authority to regulate the behavior of population within it’s geographic region and is the largest administrative division of a U.S. state City: The geographic region which is mutually inhabited by a group of people City: The authority to regulate the behavior of certain aspects of their residents usually an incorporated municipality governed by a mayor and a board of aldermen or councilmen Territory: a region or district of the U.S. not admitted to the Union as a state but having its own legislature, with a governor and other officers appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate

3. Trans-Enterprise Service Grid (TSG) OASIS Emergency Data Exchange Language – Distribution Element (EDXL-DE) is distribution metadata for distributing TSG content. OASIS Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) is a specific alert content standard. TSG node – a node that produces, processes, and/or consumes EDXL-DE documents and/or their content. Secure Policy-oriented Object Router (SPOR) – a TSG node that process/forwards EDXL-DE content not explicitly addressed to itself. Edge SPOR – a special node which has bridges between TSG and external interfaces. SPOR which receives Injection from/provides Deliver to TSG Node. Core SPOR – a general purpose router with internal TSG capabilities. High Assurance SPOR (HA-SPOR) – a SPOR which uses cryptographic protection to eliminate host Operating System and application exploitation processes. A SOA Application Host – any node that is not a SPOR but connects to the TSG via a SPOR. These hosts represent the Sender and Recipient for any information exchange. TSG Link – a communication facility or medium which delivers TSG content. TSG Neighbors – nodes attached to the same link. TSG Interface – a node’s attachment to a link.

4. Information and Policy Flow Policy Flow – Nation -> Nation – United States (National) -> States – States -> States – States -> County (or Tribal) – County -> County – County -> City – City -> City Information Flow – Inject (Sending something into the TSG) – Deliver (Receiving something from the TSG) – Forward (Sending something up the authority vector) – Distribute (Sending something down the authority vector) – Exchange ( Sending something to a peer at same authority)

6. Data in Motion Domain is Distribution (What) Who/What should get content (Purpose) – Sender Authority (Empowerment) – Recipient Authority (Empowerment) – Other (policies about content distribution) Metadata Usage (How to use XML elements) – Message Authentication – Intent of Distribution – Empowerment (Authority for Distribution) – Disclosure control (Who can see what) Ontology issues – Intrinsic  Part of the Thing – Extrinsic  Context of the Thing Willingness Issues

7. Policy Examples General: Policies which effect entire TSG – This.TSG shall distribute all EDXL-DE Msg (allow example) – This.TSG shall not distribute sensitve EDXL-DE Msg (deny example) – This.TSG shall exchange with TSGs (Value A, Value B, etc.) – This.TSG shall support multiple ContentObjects per message) – This.TSG shall support Explicit Distribution (e-mail, Open) Inject (Sending something into the TSG) – This.SPOR accepts EDXL-DE Msg only – This.SPOR accepts CAP Msg – This.SPOR accepts Msg from only COI( Social Structure or Jurisdiction) Deliver (Receiving something from the TSG) – This.SPOR delivers to RecipientRole (Value A, Value B, etc.) – This.SPOR delivers to ExplicitAdrress(Value A, ValueB, etc.) Forward (Sending something up the authority vector) – This.SPOR endorses Msg from COI (Value B, Value B, etc.) Distribute (Sending something down the authority vector) – etc. Exchange ( Sending something to a peer at same authority) – Etc.
