AvXML-1
Table of contents
This page is the entry point for documentation of WMO IWXXM 1.1.
IWXXM 1.1 supports the exchange of meteorological information in XML, including support of international civil aviation under the regulations provided by ICAO Annex 3 and WMO-No. 49 Volume II as updated by Amendment 76.
Structure of IWXXM
IWXXM is built on several packages:Packages managed by WMO
- METCE - a set of foundation building blocks to support application schema in the domains of interest to WMO, notably the weather, climate, hydrology, oceanography and space weather disciplines
- Observable Property Model (OPM) - based on work by the OGC Sensor Working Group, this allows creation of definitions that are derived from the meteorological basic types.
Packages managed by ICAO
- IWXXM - ICAO Meteorological Information Exchange Model - defines the reports required by ICAO (the equivalent of METAR/SPECI, TAF and SIGMET) that are built from the components of the packages managed by WMO
- SAF - Simple Aeronautical Features, that allow items such as airports, or runways to be described to the level of detail required for reporting aviation weather
More details of these packages are available on a separate wiki page.
