Welcome to the CAP Cookbook
From CAP Cookbook
The CAP Cookbook is a collection of application notes, supporting documents and commentaries about the Common Alerting Protocol.

Neither incident.com (Art Botterell) nor the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards (OASIS) makes any warranty or representation regarding the accuracy, completeness or suitability of this material.
