The Aeronautical Information Geospatial Service implements standard service behaviours to provide access to aeronautical geospatial features and aerodrome maps.
-
Feature Access: Features representing aerodromes, infrastructure, and other relevant entities are accessible via REST-based Feature Service and OGC Web Feature Service (WFS) endpoints.
-
Map Access: Aerodrome maps are generated and delivered through the OGC Web Map Service (WMS) endpoint.
-
Operations: Standard operations include querying, filtering, and retrieving features (GetFeature, query) and retrieving map images (GetMap). GetCapabilities operations expose available layers, styles, and metadata.
-
Standard Compliance: The service follows OGC interface standards (WFS 2.0.0, WMS 1.3.0) and adheres to SWIM TI Yellow Profile principles to ensure interoperability, reliable behaviour, and predictable responses.
-
Interaction Pattern: All interfaces follow a synchronous request–response pattern: clients send requests to the appropriate endpoint, the service processes the request, and responses are returned in standard formats (GML, JSON, GeoJSON, map images).
