Use of Open Standards in the Modernisation

® Use of Open Standards in the Modernisation of ATM Workshop during ATC Global 6 March 2012

Open Standards in ATM: Overview • Open standards in modernization of ATM worldwide, with focus on AIXM, WXXM, FIXM • Role of international open standards from ISO and OGC in enabling consistent aeronautical and weather information to the right user at the right time • Outcomes of recent prototyping initiatives sponsored by EUROCONTROL and FAA in collaboration with the OGC increasing uptake of the standards in the Aviation industry • How FAA SWIM program and the European SWIM environment are benefitting from such work. • Encourage more participation in these activities OGC ®

What does OGC mean by “Open” Standard? • Freely and publicly available • Non discriminatory • No license fees • Vendor neutral • Data neutral • Agreed to by a formal consensus process OGC ® Copyright © 2012, Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc. ,

OGC’s Approach for Advancing Interoperability • Interoperability Program (IP) - a global, innovative, hands-on rapid prototyping and testing program designed to unite users and industry in accelerating interface development and validation, and delivery of interoperability to market • Specification Development Program – Consensus standards process similar to other Industry consortia (World Wide Web Consortium, OMA etc. ). • Compliance Testing and Certification Program - allows organizations that implement an OGC standard to test their implementations with mandatory elements of that standard • Marketing and Communications Program – education and training, encourage take up of OGC specifications, business development, communications programs OGC ® © 2012, Open Geospatial Consortium Rapid Interface Development Standards Setting Testing & Certification Market Adoption

Aviation and the OGC Interoperability Program Sponsorship by FAA, EUROCONTROL of 5 global rapid-prototyping IP initiatives to-date: • Develop and test standards-based So. A providing aeronautical information to flight decks and EFBs • Support delivery of real-time information used in flight planning, navigation, rerouting, etc • Enables end-to-end management of information Outcomes • Validation and advancement of AIXM and WXXM • Delivery of Aeronautical and Weather information ondemand via OGC Web Services • Increased uptake by industry OGC ® © 2012 Open Geospatial Consortium
