Well, actually this is the work product of the "TF34" work group in
ATIS/ESIF.  It defines basically two protocols, ESMI and EISI.  ESMI is used
when you have what they call "mediated" access to services by a PSAP, i.e.
the PSAP desires a middle man to mediate access to various IP based services
the PSAP may have available to it.  ESMI is the interface between the
mediation (RG = Response Gateway) and the PSAP.

The EISI is the other side, Service to RG, although it may be useful to
connect directly from a service to the PSAP.

I personally think ESMI is a mess. Go read it.  EISI is basically a profile
of web services, and may be more useful.  That's a personal opinion, and
doesn't represent the views of .

Now, in answer to the original question, yes docs are available, but because
this is ATIS, you have to buy them.  There are drafts around if you look on
the web.

Good question. I noted that their effort has focused purely on NGN. While
I've heard that word thrown around, I've never actually head a good
explanation of what it is. The nearest I can tell, NGN is a walled-garden,
non-global Internet, US-centric network. It is good that they have done this
for NGN, but I doubt those standards will apply to the global Internet.
