Until the work on the new syntax is finalised, the file that contains the work in progress version of the rules is provided here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1cXsTgQcIcV-DFxNyP5lftLLNxEjeudJD?usp=sharing

Rule editor

The AIXM Business Rules are currently created and managed by Eurocontrol, using a tool called Business Rules Manager (BRM), which is currently not available to the external users. A new version of the BRM tool is in development, featuring many significant enhancements and including the possibility to offer access to external users.

One of the important capabilities of the BRM is "rule templates", which enables the creation and maintenance of rules that have a similar structure in the form of a single "abstract" rule, with a number of concrete instances. The screenshot below shows an example of such a templated rule. It is estimated that 70-80% of the current AIXM business rules are templated and that preserving this information in the output rule sets might be beneficial for the users.

Publication format

The AIXM Business Rules are provided in two formats:

  • as an XML file, which preserves the information about "templates", which that are used applied in the definition of the majority of the rules. The XML format is intended to be used for automating the development of data validation services, which could generate code directly from the SBVR structured rules and templates
  • as a table, in Excel format. which is created by converting the original XML file into HTML and importing in Excel.
