10 March 2008 - AIXM version 5 The AIXM 5 Design Team, is pleased to announce the release of the final AIXM version 5. 0. We take this opportunity to thank all who have contributed to this development, through your review, your comments posted on the AIXM Forum and your participation in the various AIXM events. The support of the international Aeronautical Information Services community has been very important for this project. We think that the objective to develop AIXM 5 as a globally applicable aeronautical data exchange specification, compliant with the ICAO SARPS (Standards and Recommended Practices) and enabling the use of AIXM for a wide spectrum of aeronautical information services applications has been achieved. One important AIXM 5 goal is to enable "digital NOTAM", which means a fully data modelled NOTAM, where all information is structured and can be interpreted by computers and automated systems. The AIXM 5. 0 model that we release now is not perfect and it will probably never be perfect. There a number of issue, mostly details, which the Design Team would have liked to clarify and define better. However, in order to offer a stable platform for testing, validation and eventual initial implementations, we decided to draw a line and issue version 5. 0. All known or new issues will be analysed and eventually clarified in a future version. We encourage all potential AIXM 5 users to review it and to test it. FAA and EUROCONTROL are running a number of test implementations and validations, especially in the area of digital NOTAM and approach procedures. All lessons learned and all eventual deficiencies discovered during these trials will be corrected in version 5. 1, which is scheduled for release by mid 2009. Please continue to use the AIXM Forum in order to provide comments and suggestions for future versions. The AIXM Design Team 8 AIXM User Conference 2008

Building the Net-centric Environment • Net-centric…………. . “In general refers to participating as a part of a continuously-evolving, complex community of people, devices, information and services interconnected by a communications network to optimize resource management and provide superior information on events and conditions needed to empower decision makers” 19 AIXM User Conference 2008

Building the Net-centric Environment • Requires a Net-centric Enterprise Architecture……… “light-weight, massively distributed, horizontally-applied architecture, that distributes components and/or services across an enterprise's information value chain using Internet Technologies and other Network Protocols as the principal mechanism for supporting the distribution and processing of information services” • 20 In ATM and SESAR especially referred to as the ‘Concept of System Wide Information Management (SWIM)’ AIXM User Conference 2008
