Requirement

Title

Out-of-scope and no semantic correspondence established declarations

Identifier

SWIM-INFO-015

Requirement

A semantic correspondence declaring that a concept in an information definition is out-of-scope of the AIRM or that no semantic correspondence has been established shall provide a rationale.

Rationale

An out-of-scope declaration is not verifiable without information about the rationale.

Verification

Completeness

Examples/Notes

Note: The following were used in SESAR related work as rationales for an out-of-scope declaration:
  • container (e.g. XML complexTypes);
  • messaging (e.g. Aeronautical Fixed Telecommunication Network address);
  • network (e.g. datalink protocol version, IP address);
  • system (e.g. technical identifiers, availability flags);
  • non-atm (e.g. human resource related information);
  • local (e.g. data only making sense for on specific service instance); and
  • other (not covered by the other categories).

Note: The declaration that no semantic correspondence has been established allows the authors of an information definition to perform the mapping exercise in an iterative manner.  However, it is important that a rationale is made available to make clear why no semantic correspondence has been established.

Level of Implementation

Mandatory


Guidance

Notes - always need a mapping. AIRM gives urns for these if needed.

If in doubt, use the CR option in preference to either of these options.

A rationale has to be given in order to justify the use of the out-of-scope declaration and the declaration that no semantic correspondence has been established. This requirement ensures that the use of these options is verifiable.

...

  • information definition issue. This can be used when a problem has been identified in the information definition. The problem cannot be resolved during the mapping exercise and it is not clear what the outcome of the resolution will be.
  • incomplete mapping. This can be used when the mapping exercise has not been completed. In effect, it highlights areas where the mapping exercise is still to be performed.
  • other. Any other text can be added when the rationale is not covered by the other categories.

Check that:

  •  Each semantic correspondence declaring that a concept in an information definition is out-of-scope of the AIRM has a rationale.
  •  Each semantic correspondence declaring that no semantic correspondence has been established has a rationale.
