1Météo-FranceMétéo-France is the French national meteorological service, an ISO 9001:2015-certified public sector body placed under the authority of the Ministry of Ecology, Sustainable Development and Energy, in charge of Transportation.FMIFMI is the designated aeronautical meteorological service provider for Helsinki FIR as designated by the Ministry of Transport and Communications of Finland and as certified by Finnish Transport and Communications Agency.European Organisation for Civil Aviation Equipment (EUROCAE)The European Organisation for Civil Aviation Equipment (EUROCAE) deals exclusively with aviation standardisation, for both airborne and ground systems and equipment. It was created in 1963 in Lucerne, Switzerland by a decision of the European Civil Aviation Conference as a European forum focusing on electronic equipment for air transport.Royal Belgian Institute for Space Aeronomy (BIRA)Since its creation in 1964, the main tasks of the Royal Belgian Institute for Space Aeronomy (BIRA-IASB) are research and public service in the field of space aeronomy, which includes the study of the physics and chemistry of the atmospheres of the Earth and other planets, and of outer space.Slovenia Control7quality of service

See

A categorisation of services based on the quality characteristics to be taken into account when evaluating the properties of a service. The scheme can be augmented based on ISO/IEC 25010 (https://iso25000.com/index.php/en/iso-25000-standards/iso-25010).

Service CategoryCharacteristicValueDefinitionQuality of Service Measureperformance efficiency

capacity

The maximum rate at which a service can process transactions and the maximum message size of responses.

Note: Measurements can include the number of items that can be stored, the number of concurrent users, the communication bandwidth, throughput of transactions, and size of messages.

performance efficiency

time behaviour

A measurement of the processing times of a service.

Note: This parameter may be expressed as an indication of a maximum time needed for the service provider to complete the request, measured from the time instant the service provider receives the request to the time instant the service provider sends the response or makes it available.

AIRM subjects (the packages within the AIRM also have URIs

This was raised in the context of datasets but is applicable to information service payloads in general and, e.g. tools like semantic NOTAM in particular. At the moment the packages are not published but should be. An AIRM change request has been raised.

The following table is an extract to show the potential result.
