CEE Road Map
A phased plan for developing each of the four main CEE components is included below.
If you or your organization would like participate in the development of these specifications by joining the CEE Email Discussion List.
| | PHASE I | PHASE II | PHASE III |
| Event Taxonomy | Analyze "what’s usually in the logs" and agree on a taxonomy approach (tree, tags, hierarchy, multiple, etc.). | Publish a taxonomy and talk to software vendors for adoption. | Increase adoption of taxonomy across various logs; have vendors map all new log messages to a taxonomy. |
| Log Syntax | List a few current log formats and outline their preferred uses (e.g., binary for high-performance, XML for descriptiveness and system consumption, etc.). | "Bless" a few and maybe modify them to better fit the project goals (having adoptions of changed ones in mind). | Update the Phase II results as times change and new log source are used. |
| Log Transport | List all current log transport methods. | "Bless" a few of the above as standard. | Work on some NG uniform log transport mechanism. |
| Log Recommendations | Summarize current logging recommendations from industry and compliance guidance. | Categorized logging recommendations for various scenarios and "bless" them as standard or CEE-compliance. | Update as necessary. |
