The specification gives examples of types of information definitions:

  • standardised information exchange models
  • descriptions of information exchanged by services
  • data catalogues
  • information exchanges captured as part of a business process model

...

The exchange models listed above relate to three ICAO business domains (aeronautical, weather and flight information). However, other exchange models exist.

A service description may refer to one of these exchange models in order to define its payload.

...

Business process modelling is a key art the service oriented approach. It is used to identify information exchange requirements, including the names and definitions of the elements being exchanged throughout the process.

Publication and management of information definitions


This requirement says nothing about how to publish and manage information definitions. These concerns are not in the scope of the specification.

However, the need to make information definitions discoverable and to manage them properly is well acknowledged. It is therefore hoped that an information definition is open and accessible to the wider community and managed/governed by a well-established group.
