Welcome

Objectives of this meeting are:

• update progress on tasks

• identify new tasks

Update on tasks

Task list

The updated task list is at SSCONE-SITCOM Tasks.

Completed tasks

• Formal Arrangements

  • Moved to supporting material.

• Service Categories

  • Published Using Service Categories in supporting material.

  • Queued for publication - new service category for information domains.

    • AIRM category is with AIRM CCB.

• Service Definitions

  • Content agreed and is available for "testing" and feedback.

• Service Overviews

  • Supporting material finished in line with current draft of PANS-IM.

  • Passed on the baton to the Registry CCB for the moment - they will plan the Registry support for Overviews.

  • Can be published once IMP has finished its work.

• Update Service Description Specification

  • Target IMT on 8th October for an information/action paper

  • Formal public consultation will launch in mid-October

  • This means comments, etc will be addressed in early 2022

  • Aim is to publish in Q1 2022 (depending on comments)

Ongoing tasks

• Service Metadata Schema

  • Start this task to ensure it is ready to support the updated service definition and description requirements.

Potential new tasks

Good to go:

•  "review" some service descriptions

  • see whether they makes sense, can be improved, and could become "reference examples"

  • see how the Registry is mapped to the schema and the specification

• supporting material

  • naming conventions e.g. topics for AMQP subscriptions

  • controlled vocabulary of verbs for functions 

  • gazetteer of organisations to ensure consistent naming. Note, that SSCONE can agree the entries - the Registry has to implement them.

  • granularity of services e.g.

    • should SIGMET and METAR be separate services or can they be in one service

    • should request-reply and publish-subscribe interfaces be split into two services.

  • discoverability of services - how should information be added to service descriptions to allow them to be easily discovered e.g. tagging services

• start documenting the SOA.

  • This is the SOA as it is implemented - built the aggregate picture based on actual services and how they relate etc

    • this will map information exchanges to values in the service categorisation schemes

  • How the Registry integrates

• service definition supporting material

For later:

• "get into swim" slides to be refreshed and made into confluence pages. This was not seen as a priority. Can be ignored for now.

Any other business

• It would be good to get a presentation on EUROCAE ED-294. It is related to the work of SSCONE and a presentation would clarify its content and role.

Next meetings

Meeting schedule is maintained at SSCONE-SITCOM Meetings. 

Next progress meeting is 13 September 2021.
