Title

Service categories

Identifier

SWIM-SERV-100

Requirement

A service description shall include the service categories to which the service belongs and, if applicable, reference the service categorisation schemes used.

Rationale

Service category information allows discovering services by a series of classification criteria.


This requirement supports decision making in terms of service suitability in relation to a particular usage context.

Verification

Completeness: Verify that a service category is present.

Consistency: Not applicable.

Correctness: Not Applicable. 

Examples/Notes

Note: The service category can be a keyword, a key phrase or a URI. It is best practice to use a URI taken from a published service categorisation scheme.

Note: An ICAO Information Service Overview expects one or more of the following categories to be used:
a)    Flight information; and/or
b)    Aeronautical information; and/or
c)    Meteorological information; and/or
d)    Environment information; and/or
e)    Capacity, demand & flow information; and/or
f)    Surveillance information; and/or
g)    Other information

Note: A set of service categorisation schemes is available at: https://reference.swim.aero/information-services/service-categories.html [RD 13]. However, it is acceptable to use other schemes.

Level of Implementation

Mandatory


Guidance

More information on service categories can be found on the Using Service Categories page. It is especially useful when listing "additional category information" as mentioned in the best practice in the requirement.

The following example shows an extract of the content of a JSON file that conforms to the Service Metadata Schema

Info

The Service Metadata Schema expects the use of some classification schemes such as http://reference.swim.aero/information-services/service-categories/CodeStakeholderType. This allows the json to be shorter.
