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

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

3. 2 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

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

5. 4 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

6. 5 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

7. 6 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

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

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

10. 9 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

11. 10 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

12. 11 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
