Content Introduction D-AIM Demo Conclusion

Digital AIM (D-AIM) AIM Requirements Deliver timely and filtered quality information into user contexts Move towards a state of information exchange and sharing EC 552/2004 interoperability regulation D-AIM high level principles Investigate new digital services in addition to current AIS output System-wide approach Separate data transport from data application Open and interoperable data sharing Focus on geo-spatial increment Leverage existing standards LFV Sweden – EUROCONTROL collaboration

D-AIM featuring (1) D-AIM architectural approach based on a Service Oriented Architecture Loose coupling: service dependencies are minimized; Autonomy: services have control over the logic that they encapsulate; Abstraction: services hide logic from the outside world; Reusability: logic is divided into services with the intention to promote reuse; Discoverability: services are designed to be outwardly descriptive so they can be found and assessed via available discovery mechanisms. Use of OGC web services specifications D-AIM embeds AIM standards into the current system to achieve geospatial information sharing AIXM, AMXM, WXXM OGC-OWS: WMS, WFS, WCS, CSW
