Operational Environment

operational environmentoperational needsThe service enables Aeronautical Information Services to publish digital data sets to satisfy international requirements for the exchange of aeronautical information.

capabilities

The service supports the publication of the aeronautical digital data sets as defined by ICAO Annex 15:

  • AIP data set;
  • Obstacle data set;
  • Terrain data set;
  • Aerodrome mapping data set;
  • Instrument flight procedure data set

The service supports the publication of customised digital data sets for specific purposes.

Service Behaviour

service behaviourtypical behaviour

The service behaviour shall be in accordance with the patterns detailed in the Message Exchange Patterns: Identification Guidelines.

add data set series

A typical sequence to add a data set series is:

  • The service consumer requests data set series based on a number of selection criteria, and receives back a list containing zero, one or more data set series.
    • The service consumer checks that the data set series to be added is not yet present.
  • The service consumer creates the data set series metadata.
  • Optionally, the service consumer uploads a data product specification file.

add data set

A typical sequence to add a data set is:

  • The service consumer requests data set series based on a number of selection criteria, and receives back a list containing zero, one or more data set series.
    • The service consumer analyses that list to identify the data set series to which the data set(s) need to be added.
  • The service consumer requests data sets from the selected data set series, possibly supplying additional selection criteria, and receives back a list containing zero, one or more data sets.
    • The service consumer checks that the data set to be added is not yet present.
  • The service consumer creates the data set metadata within the selected data set series.
  • The service consumer uploads data set file for the newly created data set.
    • In case of a data set with multiple files, the upload operation is repeated for each file.
exception handlingThe services shall make use of the standard HTTP status codes.
