Meteorological SWIM Services Ecosystem

The ecosystem is used to:

• understand how the various services, service developments and SWIM Registry relate to each other

• promote harmonisation by identifying opportunities for service definitions

• promote harmonisation through the use of services in multiple contexts

• promote harmonisation by identifying shared characteristics between services (e.g. service categories, standardised implementations)

• enable more efficient service developments by making relevant artefacts available

It contains:

• Meteorological SWIM Services Portfolio: Captures the sources of services, the list of identified services and their information exchange requirements. This can be seen as the justification for the services in this case.

• Meteorological SWIM Service Developments: Captures activities that are using the service definitions.

• Service harmonisation resources:

  • Meteorological SWIM Services Subscription Interface Standard: This is a list of standard operations and messages for subscription interfaces.

  • Glossary: Terms used in these pages.

• SWIM Registry: The service definitions will be available in the European SWIM Registry.
