16. FAA Digital NOTAM Beta Testing

17. Business Rules • Prevent • doubtful data (from a business point of view) • syntactical flaws, such as Baseline with TimeInstant, missing srsName, etc. • In general, give confidence to the recipient that the data is fit for purpose! • Critical for Digital NOTAM applications! • Work in progress • Focus on Airspace • Use of SBVR Standard • Small focus group, will become public by end September

18. Industry developments OGC test beds (OWS-9) Links page on www.aixm.aero

19. ICAO Adoption • Annex 15 AMDT 37 • AIXM as means of compliance • More details in AIS Manual (DOC 8126) and later possibly in a PANS-AIM

20. Future versions

21. Future versions • ATIEC 2012 Too early…. Now planned : Q1 2014 Intended : 2015

22. AIXM CCB • Currently 30 issues recorded • 14 Bugs • 14 Possible enhancements • 2 possible new features • Ad-hoc face-to-face meeting on Monday, 26 August • AIXM 5.1.1 • Migration to EA (Sparx) • Minor corrections only: spelling errors, schema bugs, UML/XML discrepancies, lists of values • Definitions improvements

23. WXXM Coordination • AvXML 1.0 RC-2 • Simple Aeronautical Feature (SAF) model

24. FIXM coordination • AIXM provides the “infrastructure” part

26. Conclusions • Conceptual/logical model level • Coherence AIXM/FIXM is a key issue (through a global AIRM) • SID/STAR/IAP (including procedure design) model, free flight airspace, flight restrictions are model areas expected to require some refreshment in AIXM 5.2 • Work in progress (high priority topics) for 2013-2014 • business rules • digital NOTAM encoding (increment 2) • procedures encoding • AIXM 5.1.1 – minor correction
