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.

This task will work on service categories in support of SWIM-SERV-100 Service categories. It will reflect the more flexible approach that will be adopted.

AIRM subjects (the packages within the AIRM also have URIs

This was raised in the context of datasets but is applicable to information service payloads in general and, e.g. tools like semantic NOTAM in particular. At the moment the packages are not published but should be. An AIRM change request has been raised.

The following table is an extract to show the potential result.

Service Category	Value	Definition
AIRM subject		Fields of specific knowledge.
	AirspaceInfrastructure	Information about airspace volumes and infrastructure.
	RouteAndProcedure	Information about the routes and procedures designed for channelling the flow of traffic en-route and while departing and landing.
