2007 AIXM 5 Release Candidates
2007 the Digital NOTAM (xNOTAM) concepts
AIXM User Conference 2008
10 March 2008 - AIXM version 5
The AIXM 5 Design Team, is pleased to announce the release of
the final AIXM version 5.0. We take this opportunity to thank all
who have contributed to this development, through your review, your
comments posted on the AIXM Forum and your participation in the
various AIXM events. The support of the international Aeronautical
Information Services community has been very important for this
project.
UML
We think that the objective to develop AIXM 5 as a globally
applicable aeronautical data exchange specification, compliant
with the ICAO SARPS (Standards and Recommended Practices)
and enabling the use of AIXM for a wide spectrum of aeronautical
information services applications has been achieved. One important
AIXM 5 goal is to enable "digital NOTAM", which means a fully data
modelled NOTAM, where all information is structured and can be
interpreted by computers and automated systems.
XSD
The AIXM 5.0 model that we release now is not perfect and it will
probably never be perfect. There are a number of issue, mostly
details, which the Design Team would have liked to clarify and define
better. However, in order to offer a stable platform for testing,
validation and eventual initial implementations, we decided to draw a
line and issue version 5.0. All known or new issues will be analysed
and eventually clarified in a future version.
We encourage all potential AIXM 5 users to review it and to test it.
FAA and EUROCONTROL are running a number of test
implementations and validations, especially in the area of digital
NOTAM and approach procedures. All lessons learned and all
eventual deficiencies discovered during these trials will be corrected
in version 5.1, which is scheduled for release by mid 2009.
Temporality Concept
Please continue to use the AIXM Forum in order to provide
comments and suggestions for future versions.

Building the Net-centric Environment
•
Net-centric…………..
“In general refers to participating as a part of a continuously-evolving,
complex community of people, devices, information and services
interconnected by a communications network to optimize resource
management and provide superior information on events and
conditions needed to empower decision makers”
19
AIXM User Conference 2008
Building the Net-centric Environment
•
Requires a Net-centric Enterprise Architecture………
“light-weight, massively distributed, horizontally-applied architecture,
that distributes components and/or services across an enterprise's
information value chain using Internet Technologies and other Network
Protocols as the principal mechanism for supporting the distribution
and processing of information services”
•

In ATM and SESAR especially referred to as the
‘Concept of System Wide Information Management
(SWIM)’
