2004 UC Proceedings Abstract
 A Tour of the AIXM Concepts Track: Transportation Author(s): Brett Brunk, Eduard Porosnicu The Aeronautical Information Exchange Model (AIXM) and the related Aeronautical Information Conceptual Model (AICM) contain hundreds of entities, data types, and relationships used to represent aeronautical data. AICM and AIXM were originally developed by Eurocontrol to aid in standardizing data exchange and aeronautical products within the Eurocontrol member states. AICM and AIXM's adoption within the United States government means that aeronautical data providers and consumers are almost certain to encounter AIXM in the near future. This paper provides an overview of the AICM and AIXM structure. AICM and AIXM are divided into five concepts--Airspace and Services, Fixes, Routes, Airports, and Runways and Procedures. We highlight the major entities and relationships within these data concept areas and discuss AIXM's geographical model for representing the locations and extents of the aeronautical data entities.
