TT AvData Teleconference 2021 Nov 3

Details

2021-November-3, 12:00-13:00 UTC, Microsoft Teams

Review the outcome of FT 2021-2 and preparation for the publication of IWXXM 2021-2
Discuss post IWXXM 2021-2 actions
- XSD locations for IWXXM packages (#271)
Discuss feedback on the revised workflow and follow up actions
Review the progress of IWXXM development for Amendment 81
(Time permits) Review the progress of other activities:
- Creation of a team's webpage on WMO Community Website (Choy and Anna) (#268)
- (When mature) Extensions to codelists and enumerations (#245 and #256)

IWXXM 2021-2 had been approved. Anna will promulgate the decision through newsletter soon.
Remaining works include:
- Choy will remove "RC2" in both the model and schemas and submit to the FT2021-2 branch for final checking. If everything goes fine Anna will merge this into the master branch and create a tag for the version.
- Choy will work on a CI script to convert the CSV files of the code lists into either TTL or RDF files for posting onto the test registry before moving to the operational one. He will confirm with Mark Hedley on the best output format of the script, taking into account other teams are creating TTLs while we need RDFs for publication of release candidates for testing.
- The above has to be completed well before 15 Nov 2021.
- Volunteer(s) are sought to update the examples under wmo-im/iwxxm-translation.

Volunteer(s) are sought to make possible separate management of IWXXM and packages. It is targeted to make the solution available before implementation for changes associated with Amendment 81 by Mar 2022.

The advanced development of IWXXM based on consensus of proposed changes to Annex 3 in METP was welcomed by both ICAO (METP and WG-MIE) and WMO (SC-AVI). The following is a general picture of IWXXM development. (The possibility to delay applicability of Annex 3 so that there is ample time for operators to implement changes has yet to be discussed within ICAO. This is, however, beyond the scope of TT-AvData):
Secretariat and the team will document the workflow, together with sub-workflows like preparation for submission for approval, in due course to improve transparency of the development process.

ICAO WG-MOG/WG-MISD is having a joint meeting (1-4 Nov 2021) and would be looking further into the QVA service after the discussion in METP/5. An initial view of the service can be found here.
