The service provides the latest TAF reports in IWXXM for German aerodromes in compliance with ICAO Annex 3. The retrieval of information will be done on a regular basis (subscription) via AMQP 1.0 whereby the message contains the whole IWXXM dataset. The other option to collect the data is via Request/Reply using a WFS whereby the IWXXM-dataset is wrapped into a GML-FeatureType.
