5. D-AIM Requirements Aeronautical information user requirements:
Up to date and timely quality information
Easy, seamless & cost efficient information access
Tailored information
Optimise system automation and reduce system fragmentation
Optimise human information inspection during exception handling
based on powerful decision support means with visualisation capabilities
AIM response:
Data modelling and standardisation
Interoperability and data exchange standardisation
Enable smart information filtering
Including geospatial and time dimensions

Digital AIM (D-AIM) Introduction
Digital AIM Project

13. Digital AIM Project EUROCONTROL – LFV Sweden
Current LFV infrastructure fused with EUROCONTROL AIM standards
Investigate new digital services in addition to current AIS output
Deliver timely & filtered quality information into user contexts
Proof of concept of interoperable & timely data sharing based on AIM standards
System-wide including airborne applications
Focus on geo-temporal increment

15. D-AIM Principles
D-AIM architectural approach based on a Service Oriented Architecture
Use of Open Geospatial Web Services specifications
D-AIM embeds AIM standards into the current system to achieve geo-temporal information sharing
AIM Standards: AIXM, AMXM, WXXM, …
ISO/OGC Standards: WMS, WFS, …

21. D-AIM Conclusion D-AIM puts AIM into practice
D-AIM builds future digital AIM services
D-AIM benefits:
Provides a “one-stop shop” to geo-temporal aeronautical information
Geo-enable content provider output to enable downstream location based information filtering and decision making support
Increase safety by making information available WHEN and WHERE needed
Based on Service Oriented Architecture & ISO/OGC
Based on existing global AIM data models: AIXM, AMXM, WXXM
Increase situational awareness through geospatial approach
Common timely & geospatial information (en-route/aerodrome)
