Title

Service categories

Identifier

SWIM-SERV-009

Requirement

A service description shall include the categories to which the service belongs based on the PCP information exchange areas:

• Aeronautical information exchange;
• Meteorological information exchange; 
• Cooperative network information exchange;
• Flight information exchange.

Rationale

Service category information allows discovering services by a series of classification criteria.

This requirement supports decision making in terms of service suitability in relation to a particular usage context.

Verification

Completeness: Verify that the PCP category is present.

Consistency: Not applicable.

Correctness: Not Applicable. 

Examples/Notes

Note: It is best practice to include additional category information, and state the service categorisation scheme used, by inclusion or reference. The SESAR 1 ISRM Portfolio [RD 5] is a good source for service categories.
