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

• 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.
