Starting with version 0.8, the AIXM Business Rules are provided in two formats:
...
The result in tabular format looks like this:
Profiles
As explained in the Introduction, not all systems apply the same rules, in particular when it comes to minimal data - what is critical for a system might be of no relevance for another system. The error level of a rule may also depend on the profile.
The profile to which a rule belongs is indicated starting from the second column in Excel or through the Profile child element of each rule/template/instance in the XML export. Two error levels are used in the profiles ("Error" or "Warning").
ICAO AIP Data Set Profile
| Warning |
|---|
Work in progress. |
This profile will contain a selection of business rules that are applied when providing an AIP Data Set, as specified in the ICAO PANS-AIM (DOC 10066).
ICAO Obstacle Data Set Profile
| Warning |
|---|
Work in progress. |
This profile will contain a selection of business rules that are applied when providing an Obstacle Data Set, as specified in the ICAO PANS-AIM (DOC 10066).
ICAO Instrument Flight Procedures Data Set Profile
| Warning |
|---|
Work in progress. |
This profile will contain a selection of business rules that are applied when providing an Instrument Flight Procedures Data Set, as specified in the ICAO PANS-AIM (DOC 10066).
EAD Data Provider
This profile contains a selection of AIXM features and business rules that are imposed when providing data to the European AIS Database (EAD). These rules are classified into two error levels:
- Warning - indicates that the rule is part of the EAD Profile and failure to comply will generate a Warning message. However, the data will be accepted by the EAD.
- Error - indicates that the rule is part of the EAD Profile and failure to comply will generate an upload Error message. It indicates that the whole data set will be rejected. This is the case for rules that prevent data processing failures in EAD. For example, some AIXM 5.1 data needs to be mapped back to AIXM 4.5, which requires some mandatory attributes to be present in the upload file. Therefore, the rules that ensure the presence of these mandatory values are part of the EAD_Error profile.
Event profile
This profile will contain a selection of AIXM features and business rules that can be used in order to verify the correctness and completeness of Digital NOTAM data sets. This shall be included in the Digital NOTAM Event Specification (starting with version 2.0).
Event_FAA profile
This profile will contain rules that are specific to the Digital NOTAM encoding scenarios of FAA (FNS-NDS) system. Such rules refer to an FAA scenario number.
