8. Terms • Weather Information Data Base (WIDB) • NextGen 4D Weather Cube – “The Cube”

9. ITCONOPS “The System” The term "The System" is frequently used in this document. It is defined as “The collection of software, hardware, and networking components, with which users interact to access and store weather data, particularly those weather data that are relevant to aviation users. "The System" will be the implementation result of the NextGen weather vision.  It will likely contain the following elements: • A distributed set of weather data providers (the4-D Wx Data Cube) • Processes for querying, storing, retrieving, and disseminating data from/to the 4-D Wx Data Cube • Networking between system components • Authentication and/or user access restrictions • System security, encryption, and/or segregation • A registry to identify data and services • Metadata at the system, service, and dataset levels • Maintenance and administration components • User interfaces and data clients, both within and outside the system control • The NNEW program’s work will be performed in the context of "The System," even though some of the elements mentioned lie outside the program scope.

10. System Design Components • Architecture • Standards (Models, Protocols, Formats, Implementations) • OGC, XML , ISO, WMO, WXXM, JMBL, NetCDF4, HDF5, W3C, WFS, WCS, WMS, SOAP, HTTP, WFSRI, WCSRI • Service Adapters, Edge Servers • Use Cases • Data requirements • Product List(s), Data model(s), formats • Performance Requirements • Latency • Refresh Rate • Throughput • Loading • Availability • Security Requirements • Confidentiality • Integrity • Availability • Authentication • Validation • Single Authoritative Source

11. The actors listed here are intended to be a sampling of the users of the System, or more precisely, roles for various users of the System. Actors can consist of human or non-human (machine) entities. Air Traffic Manager Air Traffic Controller (e.g., tower, TRACON, and en route) Flight Planner (e.g., dispatcher and general aviation pilot) Flight Briefer (e.g., flight service station controller) Accident Investigator (e.g., NTSB, DoD, and FAA incident investigator) Dispatcher Airport Ground Crew (e.g., snow plow operator, de-icing technician, and baggage handler) Pilot, co-pilot or other Cockpit Crew Member including GA, commercial/professional Weather Data Provider (e.g., NOAA, NWS, NCDC, AFWA, FNMOC, NCAR, and MIT/LL) Community-of-Interest (COI) Member Scientist, Algorithm Developer Verification System Enterprise Service Manager Software Developer IT Maintenance Staff Forecast Generation Subsystem ITCONOPS Actors
