EATMP Validation Framework and the‘One Sky for Europe’
VDR:
Validation is a key process in the development of ATM
Services:
A Validation Framework is being developed for EATMP
including Validation Strategy, Validation Master Plan,
methodologies, etc.
VDR is an integral part of the Validation Framework
Intended that the Validation Framework will be
incorporated into the standard EATMP management
processes
The VDR enables the structures and processes for
validation information management and facilitate the
exchange of knowledge for both EATMP and the ATM
validation community

 support to Validation Exercise Data input workflow procedures with
navigation menus, data input forms, context specific data linking
 browsing and information retrieval facilities
 Pre-configured reports at Summary and Detailed levels
 Special Utilities
• Text Search Engine
• Browsing Bookmarks
 General Utilities for security, data integrity, a directory of contacts and
lists of reference sources
Enterprise scale database platform (Oracle)
Secure access via internet (with MS Explorer V5) or
EUROCONTROL intranet (with MS Access)
Not everything will be available in the first delivered systems

The VDR Security Model
USERS
EUROCONTROL
‘One Sky for Europe’
THE VDR SECURITY MODEL
ROLE A
VIEW FOR ROLE
A
ROLE B
VIEW FOR ROLE
B
"VIEWS" define the window on what
information can be accessed in the
VDR.
A View is designed to support a
specific User purpose, e.g. entering
data for a project, a validation expert
maintaining common lists
of techniques etc., a project manager
browsing key summary project data.
A Role has one View.
A View may be associated
with more than one Role
Users may have more than one
Role
A Role may have more than one
User
The User's access privileges are
defined by the Role selected. To
change either the data seen or
the access rights to the data the
User must change Role.
The VDR Help Desk Service includes:
- maintaining User registration, issuing
passwords, setting up new Users, deleting
Users, modifying User details etc.
- assigning users to Roles
- setting up new Views and Roles
- setting up appropriate Access Privileges for
Roles
ACCESS PRIVILEGES
"CLASS" i.e. by an
information type in the VDR.
e.g. all Projects, all
Scenarios, all Techniques
"INSTANCE" i.e. by specific
item(s) in the VDR. e.g.
Project A, Scenario X,
Techniques Y & Z
A Role is assigned specific
privileges to access the VDR
information provided by the
View.
Privileges are set according
to whether the Role should
have Read Only or Read/
Write access to the objects
and instances in the View.
If the access rights are not
defined for a type of
information, the Role will not
have access to it even if it is
identified in the View.

Views Available on Internet - Introduction
Provide windows to the information in the
VDR - can see an item of information from
many views
e.g. Exercise can have number of Conclusions, a
particular Conclusion can be viewed via Exercise, or
via related Objective or via related Result
Navigate a user between information groups
in the VDR and displays lists of items in them

Issues with Views:
‘One Sky for Europe’
They are not static - those currently provided are an
initial set and are likely to evolve with user comment
Lists of groups and items are currently displayed in
alphabetical order, further development needed e.g.
List of groups by logical order e.g. Objectives, Scenarios,
Results, Conclusions and Recommendations
List of items as a hierarchy (for concepts and objectives)
Is closely linked with Security Model, i.e. a view is
linked to a role, a user can have many roles. This
can add complexity for user to understand how to
access specific information
