  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)

  5. 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

  6. Policy Examples • General: Policies which effect entire TSG • This.TSGshall distribute all EDXL-DE Msg (allow example) • This.TSGshall not distribute sensitveEDXL-DE Msg (deny example) • This.TSGshall exchange with TSGs (Value A, Value B, etc.) • This.TSGshall support multiple ContentObjects per message) • This.TSGshall support Explicit Distribution (e-mail, Open) • Inject(Sending something into the TSG) • This.SPORaccepts EDXL-DE Msg only • This.SPORaccepts CAP Msg • This.SPORacceptsMsg 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.
