EDXL Sharp

EDXL Sharp is a C# / .NET 3.5 implementation of the OASIS Emergency Data Exchange Language (EDXL) family of standards. The purpose of these libraries is to allow developers to:

• Parse EDXL Messages from a string or underlying stream
• Programmatically create EDXL messages
• Validate EDXL Messages to the schema
• Validate that EDXL Messages conform to the additional business rules specified in the standards documentation
• Write EDXL messages to a string or underlying stream

EDXL Sharp is licensed under the Apache 2.0 license and is part of a collaborative research project of The MITRE Corporation.

Version 1.0 includes the following:

1. Library for CAP (Common Alerting Protocol) v1.2
2. Library for Common Types across the EDXL Standards
3. Library for EDXL-DE (Distribution Element) v1.0
4. Library for EDXL-HAVE (Hospital Availability Exchange) v1.0
5. Library for EDXL-RM (Resource Message) v1.0
6. Graphical user interface (GUI) EDXL-DE Test Tool
7. Library for GeoOASIS Where GML Profile
8. Library for EDXL xPIL (Extensible Party Information Language) Profile
9. Beta Library for EDXL-SitRep (Situation Reporting)
10. Beta Library for EDXL-TEP (Tracking of Emergency Patients)

As of August 2010^[update] the 2.0 version is released. Some of the draft standards implementations are in a separate source tree branch as stable alphas.

This effort is a part of a larger interoperability testbed. The interop testbed serves as an online presence for learning about EDXL, how to implement systems using EDXL, online validation and information sharing tools, and a place to perform integration with other systems that use EDXL.
