Service standard reference

SWIM-DEFN-120

If the service is based on a service standard the service definition shall include:

• a reference to the service standard to which the service adheres;

• a statement on any implemented options of the service standard; and

• a statement on any deviation from or addition to the service standard.

The reference to standards is essential information, fostering harmonisation.

Completeness: Not Applicable.

Consistency: If the service adheres to a service standard, verify that the reference to the service standard is included.

Correctness: Not Applicable.

Note: The term ‘service standard’ includes other service definitions that conform to this specification. Therefore, a service definition can be based on another one. However, the term also includes service standards that have been adopted by standards development organisations using a different framework.

Example:

• The service is based on and adheres to the ICAO Digital Data Set Service Definition.

Example:

• The service definition deviates from the original WMO Information System’s service standard by using AMQP v1.0 rather than MQTT to be in accordance with the EUROCONTROL Specification for SWIM Technical Infrastructure Yellow Profile.
