These pages contain the mapping of the Obstacle data set subjects as defined in the ICAO Annex 15, 16th edition and edition and further detailed in the PANS-AIM to the corresponding AIXM 5 features and attributes. For this purpose, three categories of requirements have been identified:
...
When the Obstacle data set (as specified in 5.3.3.2.2) is provided, certain sections of the AIP may be left blank and a reference to the data set availability shall be provided. In PANS-AIM these sections are marked with #AIP#OBS-DS# in PANS-AIM Appendix 2 "Contents of the Aeronautical Information Publication (AIP)" and they are also explicitly listed in the PANS-AIM section 5.2.1.1.4:

Apart from the minimum and conditional properties, the PANS-AIM specifies:
- in Appendix
...
- 6 "
...
- height" as optional property
- in Appendix 1 "material" as additional property in the Data Catalogue.
These are included in the mapping as an optional elementelements.

The ICAO Annex 15 and PANS-AIM provisions also take into consideration the end-user requirements for obstacle data sets. These have been formalised in a joint specification published by RTCA and EUROCAE:

On the left-hand side of the diagram, the PANS-AIM subject with its attributes (in yellow colour) is shown. The attributes are sorted as they are in PANS-AIM Appendix 1 (Aeronautical Data Catalogue).
Next to each attribute you find its data type as defined in PANS-AIM Appendix 1 (Aeronautical Data Catalogue). The PANS-AIM data type of the property is considered for the mapping. For example, a type that is text in PANS-AIM might require in AIXM two attributes, such as a code and a Note (type Description).

Whereas on the Confluence pages AIXM/SBVR notation notation (see Editorial Conventions) is applied for the AIXM elements, it is planned to use XPath expressions (XML syntax) within the Excel spreadsheets.
