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

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

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)

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

Semantic Interoperability of shared ATM Information SESAR ATM Information Reference Model AIRM Information Model Foundation Provides a reference model of the SESAR information concepts for operational experts. Consolidated Logical Data Model Primer Glossary Provides a reference model of the SESAR data concepts for service architects and system implementers. Ensure that exchanged data share the same meaning at both their origin and their destination to enable systems to combine and process received information from other resources Semantic interoperability is vital for the ATM System development and interoperability between systems Semantic Interoperability of shared ATM Information

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.

SESAR IM Governance Requirements Breakdown into logical Information Management Functions

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.

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