The GJXDM subschema generator is up again today so I ran another difference against it

EDXL Distribution has an element "eventType" that is type as an enumeration.

GJXDM has an Type "EventType" wich is a data type for multiple kinds of events and has the subelements of EventDate, EventDescriptionText, EventName, EventStatus, Event Time, and Event Type Text

These are fundamentally different. GJXDM uses Type in its naming conventions almost exclusively for organizing a data type and not for categorization.

In general the GJXDM uses "code" for ennumerated value sets of all kinds and CategoryCode or TypeCode for classification such as we have in EDXL. This is true even if the code instances are complete words.

To be GJXDM compliant we would probably have to change the "eventType" to something more akin to "EmergencyEventTypeCode"

There is probably more of this to come. Your thoughts..............?
