Task Status

This page is part of the ongoing SWIM communities of interest discussions. The content is working material. It should not be treated as final as it is still subject to review, comment and change.

This task will work on service categories in support of SWIM-SERV-009 Service categories. It will reflect the more flexible approach that will be adopted.

Published service category schemes

The current published service categories are at: https://reference.swim.aero/information-services/service-categories.html

2quality 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 CategoryCharacteristicValueDefinition
Quality of Service Measure



performance 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.

(ISO/IEC 25010) Degree to which the maximum limits of a product or system parameter meet requirements.


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.

(ISO/IEC 25010) Degree to which the response and processing times and throughput rates of a product or system, when performing its functions, meet requirements.


reliability

availability

The degree to which a service is operational and accessible when required for use.

(ISO/IEC 25010) Degree to which a system, product or component is operational and accessible when required for use.


reliability

recoverability

The degree to which, in the event of an interruption or a failure, the desired state of the service can be re-established.

(ISO/IEC 25010) Degree to which, in the event of an interruption or a failure, a product or system can recover the data directly affected and re-establish the desired state of the system.


security

confidentiality

The degree to which a service ensures that data are accessible only to those authorized to have access.

(ISO/IEC 25010) Degree to which a product or system ensures that data are accessible only to those authorized to have access.


security

integrity

An expression of the assurance that a system, product or component prevents unauthorized access to, or modification of, an information service interface or information.

(ISO/IEC 25010) Degree to which a system, product or component prevents unauthorized access to, or modification of, computer programs or data.

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.

AIRM subject
Fields of specific knowledge.

AirspaceInfrastructureInformation about airspace volumes and infrastructure.

  • RouteAndProcedure
Information about the routes and procedures designed for channelling the flow of traffic en-route and while departing and landing.

BaseInfrastructureInformation about the identity, location, description, and configuration of the infrastructure assets including physical facilities and systems, and obstacles.

  • AerodromeInfrastructure

8More refined ATM Capability list

The EATMA Service Overview organises the services by ATM Capability.

The first level is reflected in CodeBusinessActivityType. It is possible to add more levels from the ATM Capability Model. The table below includes the second level. Definitions are taken from https://www.eatmportal.eu/working/data/capabilities.
