Allows the service consumer to request the latest available TAFs. Note: This interface is used to group the operations offered by the chosen OGC standard.
Operations
Explanatory note: The OGC Web Feature Service Interface Standard and OGC API - Environmental Data Retrieval Standard are used to implement the service operations. It is not the intention to repeat the standardised operations here. However, the table below illustrates how the WFS GetFeature operation would look in the context of this service. The GetFeature operation returns a selection of features from a data store. It responds to a GetFeature Request message with a Meteorological Aerodrome Forecast Message that satisfies the query expressions specified in the request.
Service Interface Binding
The WS Light Interface Binding as detailed in the EUROCONTROL Specification for SWIM Technical Infrastructure Yellow Profile, edition 1.1
Network Interface Binding
The service shall use the network bindings of the SWIM TIYP. The interface shall use at least one of the following OGC standards:
- for services that exchange the meteorological information as resources:
- OGC API - Environmental Data Retrieval Standard;
- for services that exchange the meteorological information as features:
- OGC Web Feature Service 2.0 Interface Standard;
- OGC API - Features.
Note: it is a best practice for new services that exchange meteorological information to implement the OGC API - Environmental Data Retrieval Standard.
Existing services based on the OGC Web Feature Service 2.0 Interface Standard should indicate an end-of-life date.
