Integrating information towards Digital ATM

1. Integrating information towards Digital ATM FAA/SESAR Coordination on Data Modelling Presented By: Paul Jackson Date: August 27, 2013

2. Agenda • What is the NAS OV-7 ? • What is the SESAR AIRM ? • NextGen SESAR Data Model Coordination Group • Proposal: ICAO ATM Information Reference Model 1

3. What is the NAS OV-7 ? • Operational View 7 per the FAA Integrated Systems Engineering Framework (ISEF – based on DoDAF) • Logical data model (LDM) for the NAS Enterprise • Logical structure and definitions of entities and data types supporting the business operations • Constructed using UML Class diagram notation • Standards-based • Goals: • Derive and/or map physical database models and exchange structures • Provide Guidance for NAS compliant implementations • Scope derived models to the Enterprise • Increases shared understanding with national and international partners • Standardization facilitates interoperability 2

4. SESAR AIRM Foundation Information Model Primer Glossary This provides a reference model of the SESAR information concepts for operational experts. Consolidated Logical Data Model (CLDM) This provides a reference model of the SESAR data concepts for service architects and system implementers. European ATM Architecture (EATMA)SESAR AIRM products 3

5. What is the SESAR AIRM-CLDM? • The AIRM-CLDM is the counterpart of the NAS-OV7 • Logical structure and definitions of entities and data types supporting the business operations • Constructed using UML Class diagram notation • Standards-based • Used to build SWIM compliant solutions • Goal is to derive and/or map physical models (e.g. exchange structures, European ATM service messages). • Increases shared understanding with national and international partners. • Standardization facilitates interoperability 4

6. NextGen SESAR Data Model Coordination Group (NSDMCG) • Part of FAA/SJU 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 data, governance, and interoperability 5

7. NSDMCG – current achievements • Focus on NAS-OV7 and SESAR AIRM-CLDM • Gap Analysis and Action Plan • Harmonization results at the level of Units of Measure (UoM), subject fields, definitions, etc… • White Papers • ICAO AIRM Considerations • ICAO AIRM Governance Recommendations 6

8. NSDMCG – ongoing work 7 Harmonization of common foundation (e.g. geometric primitives, codelists, etc…) Service payload (message type) compliance aspects Registry aspects

9. Reference and Exchange Models AIRM new derived model e.g. AIXM e.g. WXXM … mapped existing model 8

10. ICAO AIRM Considerations Paper • Scope • Identify ICAO AIRM as crucial element of Global Interoperability Framework (GIF) • Provide a Semantic Reference Framework for existing and new Information Exchange Models • An agreed common foundation including aspects such as Temporality, Geography, Open Standards, and Units of Measure 9

11. ICAO AIRM - Proposal • Phase 1 – Design • Establish Global Interoperability Strategy/Framework • Define Scope of ICAO AIRM • Define Governance of ICAO AIRM • Provide Conformance Rules • E.g. Exchange model traceability to ICAO AIRM • Identify Registry Requirements 10

12. ICAO AIRM - Proposal • Phase 2 – Proof-of-Concept • Design Registry from Requirements • Define a Pilot Project with Manageable Components. • Begin Registration with Governance/Conformance rules • Demonstration of ICAO AIRM Framework 11
