NextGen SESAR Data Model Coordination Group (NSDMCG) Part of US/EU Coordination Plan 2.1 SWIM Interoperability Objectives Facilitate semantic information/data interoperability through common information/data definitions Foster unambiguous understanding through common agreements and standards Provide recommendations and guidance on topics related to shared information/data, governance, and interoperability Results Gap analysis Harmonization results at the level of UOMs, subject fields, definitions, White papers Current activity Working on a proof-of-concept ICAO AIRM as identified in the ICAO GANP 9

Inputs to governance considerations ICAO AIRM Governance Considerations (2013) The SESAR SWIM CONOPS defines governance, within the context of SWIM, as the Ability of decision-makers to set policies regarding stakeholders, services, and their relationships . The FAA SWIM SOA Best Practices report defines governance as: the set of rules, practices, roles, responsibilities, and agreements whether formal or informal - that control how we work. The common thread in these definitions is the assignment of some authority to an entity for the execution of some activity through the establishment of rules and practices that are subsequently enforced and modified as needed to ensure the activity is successful.

Tying it back to semantic interoperability With the AIRM we focus on the semantic framework of the IGIF It includes metadata for ATM information But full scope of semantic interoperability includes ability to exchange Registry data Interoperable registries First efforts appearing: SDCM Normalizing data about services Metadata is transversal: as we are the IM people we should approach it in a transversal way Registry as a tool supports governance A good way to step ahead is to furhter think about Registry content and procesess 13

NSDMCG Outlook NSDMCG as an embryo of further international collaboration on semantic interoperability NSDMCG to work on transversal ATM wide items NSDMCG to collaborate with communities of interest (e.g. AIM, Weather, Flight, and the new ones such as Registry) 14

SESAR AIRM is a key component of European SWIM Semantic interoperability of the future European ATM system Seamless integration of ATM information Enabling bridging of the operational and system discourses Enabling bridging between communities (eg XMs) Enabling transition management between versions Non overlapping meanings Preservation of meaning Community cross-walks Different formats shared meaning Governance through compliance Based on standards Based on initial load of XMs European region and global scope Candidate input to ICAO Global Interoperability Framework 16

SESAR ATM Information Reference Model AIRM tower3-l Information Model Primer Glossary Foundation Provides a reference model of the SESAR information concepts for operational experts. Consolidated Logical Data Model Provides a reference model of the SESAR data concepts for service architects and system implementers. Semantic Interoperability of shared ATM Information 17

Reference Model Definition A reference model consists of a minimal set of unifying concepts, axioms and relationships within a particular problem domain, and is independent of specific standards, technologies, implementations, or other concrete details. It enables the development of specific reference or concrete architectures using consistent standards or specifications supporting that environment. Source W3C Notion: currently not defined in Manual of SWIM Concept 18

Summary - SESAR AIRM Enabler of ATM wide interoperability at the semantic level Enabler of SWIM Compliant information exchange solutions Enabler in support of service definition Provides the tools to do it States the rules to apply AIRM - IM tower3-l AIRM - CLDM Services Interoperability targets Means to have a focus 21

Outlook - ICAO AIRM Semantic interoperability concern at the global level Agrees on data constructs that need to be standardised at global level Units of Measure, Code-lists, Basic data types, Includes formalization of ICAO definitions into appropriate notation (UML) for digital architecture driven approach AIRM as proxy to ICAO SARPs for XMs AMXM ICAO Annex ICAO Annex AIXM ICAO Annex ICAO Annex Semantics WXXM ICAO AIRM FIXM ICAO Annex ICAO Annex AIDX ICAO Annex Annex Docs ICAO Trace ASTERIX Achieving a known and managed state Formalised Reference Semantics 22 ICAO GANP B1-DATM ASBU Service Improvement through Integration of all Digital ATM Information

SESAR IM Governance Requirements Breakdown into logical Information Management Functions 24

SWIM Governance: IMF Landscape The steering IM functions are the functions that guide and steer the SWIM evolution. They also cover the actual overall SWIM governance process. The steering IM functions have a direct influence on the policy management and governed IM functions. The policy management functions make policies for the areas covered by SWIM services (financial, compliance, supervision, etc.). The governed IM functions are classified as such because their scope is defined / delimited by the steering and policy management functions. They apply to both functions provided as SWIM common components and to the ones provided at the service provider level. 25

IM: markers of change & signs of impact Seamless ATM wide information approach Formalised & governed semantic layer (AIRM) SWIM vocabulary, ICAO terms in UML, key data elements, Metadata Services Interoperable Registry Governance (SWIM Compliance) Information, information services, infrastructure Key technical agreements (e.g. namespaces) New information sharing processes Structured approach Collaboration scenarios, formalised processes, Information Exchange Requirements, services

Traps on the route to IM? Governance put in place too late and not agile enough Repeating the current processes 29
