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

Mature and can be published


Potential service categoryNotes

Information domains as mentioned in the  Information Service Overview in PANS-IM, ICAO

This looks similar to https://reference.swim.aero/information-services/service-categories/CodeRegulatedInformationExchangeType.html but is different in purpose and in geographical applicability.

Service CategoryValueDefinitionurn
CodeInformationDomainType
A categorisation of services based on information domains.

http://reference.swim.aero/information-services/service-categories/CodeInformationDomainType


Flight information

(FLIGHT_INFORMATION)

Information useful for the safe and efficient conduct of flight, including information on air traffic, meteorological conditions, aerodrome conditions or air route facilities.http://reference.swim.aero/information-services/service-categories/CodeInformationDomainType#FLIGHT_INFORMATION

Aeronautical information

(AERONAUTICAL_INFORMATION)

Information resulting from the assembly, analysis and formatting of aeronautical data.
http://reference.swim.aero/information-services/service-categories/CodeInformationDomainType#AERONAUTICAL_INFORMATION

Meteorological information

(METEOROLOGICAL_INFORMATION)

Meteorological report, analysis, forecast, and any other statement relating to existing or expected meteorological conditions.http://reference.swim.aero/information-services/service-categories/CodeInformationDomainType#METEOROLOGICAL_INFORMATION

Environment information

(ENVIRONMENT_INFORMATION)

Information about the environmental impact of air traffic and the measures taken to minimise the impact.http://reference.swim.aero/information-services/service-categories/CodeInformationDomainType#ENVIRONMENT_INFORMATION

Capacity, demand and flow information

(CAPACITY_DEMAND_AND_FLOW_INFORMATION)

Information about the strategic evaluation of the system-wide traffic flows and aerodrome capacities to allow airspace users to determine when, where and how they operate, while mitigating conflicting needs for airspace and aerodrome capacity.http://reference.swim.aero/information-services/service-categories/CodeInformationDomainType#CAPACITY_DEMAND_AND_FLOW_INFORMATION

Surveillance information

(SURVEILLANCE_INFORMATION)

Information about a flight's position, vector, identity and flight path intent as reported by ground or on-board sensors.http://reference.swim.aero/information-services/service-categories/CodeInformationDomainType#SURVEILLANCE_INFORMATION

Other information

(OTHER_INFORMATION)

Information not covered by any other listed information domain.http://reference.swim.aero/information-services/service-categories/CodeInformationDomainType#OTHER_INFORMATION

Candidates for service category schemes

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.

Service CategoryValueDefinition
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
The aerodrome including any installations and equipment.
2More 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:

Tasks


TaskStatusNotes
1

SWIM-SERV-009 will be updated to allow more flexible service categorisation.

CompletedUpdate has been discussed and proposal written. Now we wait for the formal publication process to run.
2

A set of service categorisation schemes will be hosted on https://reference.swim.aero/index.html.

CompletedUsing https://reference.swim.aero/information-services/service-categories.html
3

The schemes will be published in HTML format with a URL/URI.

Completed
4

We will also look to publish the schemes in an ontology language such as RDF.

CompletedExample shown in 2021-03-29-SSCONE-SITCOM meeting and accepted as way forward. Final file was approved at 2021-05-10-SSCONE-SITCOM. Now handed over to reference.swim.aero developers for publication.
5

We will write a "knowledge article" for the swim reference website. It will cover

  • what they are,
  • how to use them - These schemes can then be used in a service description, service definition or service overview.
  • and why - show the application of the categories.

It should also make it clear that they categorisation schemes are separate from e.g. governance and compliance processes. It will explain how to use other sources of categorisation schemes e.g. semantics.aero. 

CompletedOnline at Using Service Categories
6

The schemes will be evolved using SSCONE as the discussion forum.

CompletedStarted discussion on candidate categorisation schemes
7

ensure the MEP documents can use the categories. See https://reference.swim.aero/resources.html 



8

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.

ClosedCover this in the /wiki/spaces/SCOI/pages/59605888 task
9

provide examples of the typical exchanges that can be mapped to a given category e.g. what falls under “Capacity, demand and flow information”
