Potential Evolution - More unique, point-topoint interfaces - Costly development, test, maintenance, CM - New decisions linked to old data constructs - Cumbersome data access outside of NAS

Research Problem Statement Engineering, Operations & Technology

ƒPurpose ƒ Promote and advance interoperability between aviation information systems. ƒ Provide better communication and engagement with subject matter experts ƒ Manage complexity in aviation information systems

ƒComponents ƒ Domain Specific Language for Aviation Data ƒ Aviation metadata repository for use with DSL ƒ Data Generation Capability in Multiple Representations

ƒInitial Implementation Fall 2012/Spring 2013 ƒ Early DSL concept presented at prior ICNS Copyright © 2011 Boeing. All rights reserved.

System Components Engineering, Operations & Technology

1. Domain Specific Language for Aviation ƒ Template – Identify the content of a aviation data entity – Independent of actual data and representation

ƒ Message – Provides representation specification and actual data values

2. Meta-data Repository ƒ Provides references to methods that render aviation data is a specific representation ƒ Representation details of aviation data

3. Data Generation ƒ Data generated per representation specification in DSL message Copyright © 2011 Boeing. All rights reserved.
