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.
The general agreement that forms the basis of the work:
- SWIM-SERV-009 will be updated to allow more flexible service categorisation.
- A set of service categorisation schemes will be hosted on https://reference.swim.aero/index.html.
- These schemes can then be used in a service description, service definition or service overview.
- The schemes will be published in HTML format with a URL/URI.
- We will also look to publish the schemes in an ontology language such as RDF.
- The schemes will be evolved using SSCONE as the discussion forum.
Candidates for service category scheme
| Potential service category | Notes | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
| |
| 2 |
| This was raised in the context of datasets but is applicable to services. |
Other considerations
- ensure the MEP documents can use the categories. See https://reference.swim.aero/resources.html
- some values in different categories need to be logically explained e.g. can you have a PROSPECTIVE SERVICE_DEFINITION or not? A matrix showing these sorts of business rules would be good to have.
