SWIM Service Definition Handbook v1.0
- WILSON Scott
Role of the handbook
The EUROCONTROL Specification for SWIM Service Definition Edition 1.0 sets out a number of requirements to be met by a service definition. It provides some basic examples to illustrate the requirements. However, the specification does not give much detail on how to satisfy the requirements.
This handbook gives guidance to help service definition authors to satisfy the requirements.
The guidance contained in the handbook promotes the creation of better service definitions. It will lead to greater harmonisation in the implementation of the specification.
Target audience
Service definition authors
