"Facilitating Emergency Response Using Open Standards" will be the theme of the OASIS EI Summit, which will be held as part of the National Information Exchange Model (NIEM) Training Event in Baltimore, MD, USA, 29 Sept-1 Oct. The EI Summit will serve as an important vehicle to help OASIS bring closer coordination among first responders, policy makers, legislators, government agencies, and vendors. The event will provide an opportunity for attendees to express their needs, discover advances that are in development, and learn about interoperable solutions that are being implemented today.
