Requirement

Identifier

SWIM-REG-0004

Title

Service categorization

Statement

The Registry shall enable the classification of services based on a common Service taxonomy [Annex B] that facilitates the discovery and comparability of resources.

Clarification

This is applicable to both service instances as well as service definitions

Level of Implementation

Mandatory

Guidance

Examples

See the Service categories section within the Donlon TOBT Setting Service Description.

Guidance

info

The defined service categories cover 2 requirements from the service description spec


Within field serviceCategorisation, itself within field informationService, fill in the attributes of type ServiceCategorisation

Service Categorisation - Mandatory

A taxonomy used to classify a service by the type of service provided or by some other technological or architectural solution.

Rationale: Service category information allows discovering services by a series of classification criteria. 


attribute nametypedescription & guidancerule
serviceType
code valuedescription

SWIM_COMPLIANT 

for a service instance that is operational and that is conformant to the 3 SWIM specifications
SWIM_CANDIDATE for a service instance that is not meeting the criteria for SWIM_COMPLIANT

DEFINITION 

for a service definition

An indication of the status of the service with regard to SWIM Service conformance.

Select one code value


Mandatory
lifeCycleStage
code valuedescription

OPERATIONAL  

The status indicating that the service is employed in its operational environment.
PROSPECTIVE The status indicating that the service is being designed, developed, or tested for operational activities and is expected to be available in the future.

RETIRED 

The status indicating that active support for the service has been withdrawn, the service has been partially or totally replaced by a new service, or an upgraded service has been installed.

A classification of service instances based on their current, past, or future availability for provisioning.

This is the life-cycle stage of a service instance. It has no meaning for a service definition

Select one code value, depending on the selected serviceType

serviceTypeguidance
SWIM_COMPLIANT Select OPERATIONAL
SWIM_CANDIDATE Select OPERATIONAL if already operational, else select PROSPECTIVE.
DEFINITION Do not use. (leave empty, as this code has meaning for service instances only)
Mandatory
businessActivityType
code valuedescription

AERODROME_OPERATION 

 Planning, execution and analysis of airport airside activities, including, but not limited to, how the aerodrome operators provide the needed ground infrastructure and precise surface guidance to improve safety and maximize aerodrome capacity in all weather conditions.
AIRSPACE_ORGANISATION_AND_MANAGEMENT how airspace organizations establish airspace structures in order to accommodate the different types of air activity, volume of traffic and differing levels of service, and about the process by which airspace options are selected and applied to meet the needs of the ATM community.

AIRSPACE_USER_OPERATIONS 

 The ATM-related aspect of flight operations.
CONFLICT_MANAGEMENT 

  - the strategic conflict management through airspace organization and management, demand and capacity balancing, and traffic synchronization;

- separation provision;

- and collision avoidance.

DEMAND_AND_CAPACITY_BALANCING    the strategic evaluation of the system-wide traffic flows and aerodrome capacities to allow airspace users to determine when, where and how they operate, while mitigating conflicting needs for airspace and aerodrome capacity.
INFORMATION_MANAGEMENT TBD
SERVICE_DELIVERY_MANAGEMENT TBD
TRAFFIC_SYNCHRONISATION TBD

The type of business activity.

The types of service consumers that this service is intended to serve.

Select one or more code values.

Guidance: list the "intended" consumer audience from your point of view. This does not mean that consumers outside that list wouldn't benefit from the service.

Select one or more code values.  


Mandatory, minItems=1
application MessageExchangePattern
code valuedescription
REQUEST_REPLY An application MEP consisting of a consumer sending a request to an information service, the service then executing the request and providing a reply to the consumer.
ONE_WAY An application MEP consisting of a consumer sending a message to an information service without any requisite response from the information service.
PUBLISH_SUBSCRIBE An application MEP consisting of a consumer sending a subscription request to an information service, the service then providing the consumer with means to access the subscribed information.
FAN_OUT An application MEP consisting of a consumer sending sequentially a message to multiple information service according to the One-Way application MEP.
SYNCHRONOUS_REQUEST_REPLY A Request/Reply application MEP requiring that the consumer wait for the information service to provide a response, and is unable to send/receive any other requests/responses until the initial response is received.
ASYNCHRONOUS_REQUEST_REPLY A Request/Reply application MEP that does not restrict the consumer from completing other operations while waiting for the information service to respond.
PUBLISH_SUBSCRIBE_WITH_PUSH_MECHANISM A Publish/Subscribe pattern whereby the information service sends necessary updates (publish) to the consumer, in accordance with the subscription.
PUBLISH_SUBSCRIBE_WITH_PULL_MECHANISM A Publish/Subscribe pattern whereby the information service keeps necessary updates available to the consumer, in accordance with the subscription.
BROKERED_PUBLISH_SUBSCRIBE_WITH_PUSH_MECHANISM A Publish/Subscribe pattern with push mechanism introducing a layer of decoupling between the publisher and subscribers by means of a broker.



The type of Application MEP (Message exchange pattern at application level).

This is covered by requirement SWIM-SERV-017 Message exchange pattern where a full explanation can be found (requirement, general guidance, etc).

Select one or more code values.

Typical values are:

  • Request/Reply (synchronous or asynchronous)
  • Publish/Subscribe (Push or Pull)
  • One Way
Mandatory, minItems=1
geospatialCategorisationGeographicalExtent (see below)

The geographic coverage of the information provided by the service.

Rationale: Allow consumer to understand and search on the geographical coverage of the service.

Guidance: Consider filling in the relevant attributes of type GeographicalExtent.

Optional

Geographical Extent - Optional

The geographic coverage of the information provided by the service.

Rationale: Allow consumer to understand the geographical coverage of the service.

Guidance: Geographical coverage may be expressed in terms of ICAO state, FIR, and Aerodrome. 

tip

For expressing the geographical extent in other terms, such as ICAO Region, polygon or even textually, consider adding that information to the service abstract (see SWIM-SERV-007 Service abstract) and/or using Concept type (see SERV-OVW-008 Geographical extent).


Consider filling in the relevant attributes.
