Data Sharing
XchangeCore
The Clearinghouse is exploring the use of XchangeCore as a means of automating data sharing after an earthquake.
What is XchangeCore?
From the XchangeCore web site (http://www.uicds.us/): “XchangeCore is information sharing middleware for NIMS incident management that continuously receives and shares standardized data among many agencies during an incident. Your everyday application gets from XchangeCore exactly the data you need to use, visualize, process, improve, decide, and then share back through XchangeCore to keep everyone informed.”
