Die Verabschiedung des Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) durch OASIS ist ein weiteres Zeichen dafür, dass das Web ein Massenmedium geworden ist. Als solches soll es in Notfällen zur Benachrichtigung der Bevölkerung dienen:

„CAP is a simple but general format for exchanging all-hazard emergency alerts and public warnings over all kinds of networks. CAP allows a consistent warning message to be disseminated simultaneously over many different warning systems, thus increasing warning effectiveness while simplifying the warning task. CAP also facilitates the detection of emerging patterns in local warnings of various kinds, such as might indicate an undetected hazard or hostile act. And CAP provides a template for effective warning messages based on best practices identified in academic research and real-world experience.“
