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.

Guidance

This template allows for the documentation of service definitions based on the requirements found at: /wiki/spaces/SCOI/pages/59605116

General requirements to remember:

SWIM-DEFN-010

Service definition coverage

A service definition shall define a single service

Note: This concerns the definition of a service that can be implemented by service providers. It is not used to describe a running service - use a service description in that case.

Note: This requirement uses "define" rather than "describe".

SWIM-DEFN-020

Service definition language

The textual descriptions in a service definition shall be written in English using the spelling listed as the primary British spelling when conflicting spellings exist.

The ...

8.3.10:The main purpose of the AeronauticalInformationNotification service is to provide notifications (alerts) to consumers providing them with a simple mechanism to maintain their systems updated to the latest information available.
The data scope of the service is all aeronautical information currently distributes by means of NOTAM and AIP amendments.
To accomplish this, the services will be based on a Publish/Subscribe mechanism.

Look to https://ext.eurocontrol.int/aixm_confluence/display/DNOTAM/Digital+NOTAM+Specification for scenarios that will help write the operational need.

It was agreed that this service focuses on what the AISP makes available to the next intended user. Therefore it will not cover:

These will be looked at later and in the context of a different service.

To discuss: does the term NOTAM cover SNOWTAM and ASHTAM. All of these are available in the Event Extension for AIXM.

operational environment

operational needs

Stakeholders involved in air traffic management need aeronautical data concerning the establishment, condition or change in any aeronautical facility, service, procedure or hazard, the timely knowledge of which is essential to personnel concerned with flight operations.

This service satisfies this need by allow clients to register for notification about aeronautical events. When an event occurs, the subscription service sends notification to all clients who have registered an interest in the event.

The changes notified can be used immediately - re-routings, on board navigational databases could be potentially updated on flight with new digital NOTAM messages being issued., etc.

They can also be used to improve their decision making process thus positively impacting the efficiency of their planning and flight executions, enabling through automatic data verification and graphical visualisation

The scope covers the event encodings including aerodrome data for the 18 airports listed in EU Implementing Regulation 2021/116 - Common Project One.

capabilities

The service offers notification in the changes to aeronautical data about features. and/or

This identified service will provide structured digital aeronautical information that can be processed.

Service Behaviour

TBD

Trace

SWIM-DEFN-220

service behaviour	typical behaviour	8.3.10: the AeronauticalInformationNotification service will only send updates to current features properties or new features. Thus, to properly interpret the data received, it is paramount that a previous call to appropriate service operation to obtain the data is performed. The AeronauticalInformationNotification service shall expose such an operation and provide to immediately start the notifications messages after its call. So the process will look like this: The consumer subscribes, the subscription is then moved to a latency state. Then the consumer retrieves the latest available baseline data, together with currently available notifications that apply to that baseline. At that moment, new data changes will be notified, the subscription moves to an active status. Scheduled Information. ... For retrieving the full data a call to the AeronauticalFeatureService will need to be performed Digital NOTAMs... the complete data change within the notification message 8.3.10: The diagram below depicts the service dynamic behaviour of both interfaces.
