NENA Standard for the Conveyance of EIDOs Available for Third Public Review & Comment

The Emergency Incident Data Object (EIDO) is the JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) object that contains incident and related information intended to be passed between Functional Elements (FEs) for the stated purpose of processing emergency incidents, such as for use with systems handling 9-1-1 calls. EIDO itself constitutes a comprehensive mechanism for passing needed critical information fields between FEs and subsequently incident processing stakeholders. Without an equally reliable method of transport, EIDOs would be left stranded inside proprietary boxes or on disparate islands.

The Standard for the Conveyance of Emergency Incident Data Objects defines a transport model for the secure, verified, and reliable delivery of EIDOs, both during the processing of emergency calls and thereafter. This version of EIDO Conveyance provides for a model of subscribers and notifiers that supports optional settings and filters used to set flow characteristics or limit notifications associated with incidents in which the subscriber is interested. EIDO Conveyance also provides a mechanism for on-demand requests for incident data.
