Once an event occurs, a subscription service may cause an activity to occur, e.g. delivery of a product.

lifecycle stage

This will build upon https://reference.swim.aero/information-services/service-categories/CodeLifeCycleStageType.html to cover other lifecycle stages e.g. draft and experimental.

Service Category	Value	Definition	URL
CodeLifeCycleStageType
	DRAFT	The status indicating that the service is...
	EXPERIMENTAL	The status indicating that the service uses new ideas or methods, and might be modified later if it is unsuccessful. It is made available in order to be assessed for future development.	http://reference.swim.aero/information-services/service-categories/CodeLifeCycleStageType#EXPERIMENTAL

AIRM subjects (the packages within the AIRM also have URIs

This was raised in the context of datasets but is applicable to information service payloads in general and, e.g. tools like semantic NOTAM in particular. At the moment the packages are not published but should be. An AIRM change request has been raised.

The following table is an extract to show the potential result.

Service Category	Value	Definition
AIRM subject		Fields of specific knowledge.
	AirspaceInfrastructure	Information about airspace volumes and infrastructure.
	RouteAndProcedure	Information about the routes and procedures designed for channelling the flow of traffic en-route and while departing and landing.
