You will need to contact the provider that will send these details via SIP
and ask of the standard they will be following. I'm not aware of any
single standard that will address the information you are expecting.

You might want to review:

http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/index.php?page=Asterisk+func+sip_header
Synopsis - Gets the specified SIP header

http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+cmd+SIPGetHeader
With this app, you can pick any header from an incoming invite and
stuff it into a channel variable. It is a generic way of supporting any
header a vendor or service provider may add that you want to use in your
dialplan.

In the US, the PSAP (Public Safety Answering Provider/Point) is given the
ANI (an identification number, normally a billing phone number) with the
telephone call and they must then use a seperate communications circuit
connecting them to a database provider to query for the information needed
to dispatch the call.

Please let me know what standard or spec they are using in their SIP
calls. As a CLEC and VoIP service provider myself, I'm always interested
in learning of new developments in this area.
