The Aeronautical Aerodrome Map Request Service provides a capability for on-request aeronautical aerodrome related geospatial data and charts through a SWIM-compliant interface. The service generates aeronautical aerodrome maps from current or next AIRAC cycle aerodrome mapping data available. The service encodes aeronautical aerodrome maps in a graphical format. The consumer of the service can specify in the aerodrome map request: the aerodrome map layers to be included, charts to be included, the geographical area of interest. Currently the service provides only Tallinn Airport (EETN) data. The provided aeronautical aerodrome map is used in visualization contexts as a backdrop map. Service users such as ANSP, airport operators, airline operators, and airspace users can use various service capabilities (e.g. Digital NOTAM overlay in ePIB applications). All data is sourced from EANS AIM database and encoded using AIXM 5.1, ensuring compliance with aeronautical information exchange standards.

Service offers both WMS and WFS Geoserver capabilities. All data requests are processed through a single entry point API Gateway, providing unified access to both WMS and WFS endpoints. API GW validates the request and routes it to Geoserver , which processes and retrieves necessary data layers, renders maps or extracts feature sets and sends response back through the API GW. The service behavior is in accordance with the synchronous_request_reply message exchange patterns detailed in the Message Exchange Patterns: Identification Guidelines. Client must issue WMF GetCapabilities/GetMap or WFS GetFeature requests through the gateway and receives images (WMS) or structured geospatial data such as GML/GeoJSON (WFS) in return.
Incase of erroneous or invalid request , client will receive standardized error message with HTTP statuscode.
The interface is used to group the operations offered by the OGC Web Map Service 1.3.0 Interface Standard.
Returns XML metadata with information about the server e.g. parameters about the WMS and available layers.
Returns a map image considering width and height of the map, coordinate reference system, rendering style and image format.
Retrieves data (geometry and values) for a pixel location
The GetLegendGraphic operation provides a mechanism for generating legend graphics as images, beyond the LegendURL reference of WMS Capabilities. It generates a legend based on the style defined on the server, or alternatively based on a user-supplied SLD.
The service Interface binding is compliant with EUROCONTROL Specification for SWIM Technical Infrastructure (TI) Yellow Profile.
The service shall use the network bindings of the SWIM TIYP IPv4 Secure Unicast.
The interface implements WFS 2.0, WFS 1.1.0 and WFS 1.0.0 Standard and supports all WFS operations including Transaction.
The GetCapabilities operation is a request to a WFS server for a list of the operations and services, or capabilities, supported by that server.
DescribeFeatureType requests information about an individual feature type before requesting the actual data. Specifically, the operation will request a list of features and attributes for the given feature type, or list the feature types available.
The GetFeature operation returns a selection of features from the data source.
The Transaction operation can create, modify, and delete features published by a WFS. Each transaction will consist of zero or more Insert, Update, and Delete elements, with each transaction element performed in order

This International Standard specifies the behaviour of a service that produces spatially referenced maps dynamically from geographic information. It specifies operations to retrieve a description of the maps offered by a server to retrieve a map, and to query a server about features displayed on a map. This International Standard is applicable to pictorial renderings of maps in a graphical format.
This standard defines direct fine-grained access to geographic information at the feature and feature property level by specifying discovery, query, locking and transaction operations and operations to manage stored, parameterized query expressions. This standard covers 11 operations e.g. GetCapabilities (discovery operation).This Standard continues to be a reliable means to provide geospatial data to the web. However, the functional capabilities are now available in a more modern web API, OGC API – Features, and implementers are encouraged to use the newer Standard.
This standard is a jointly developed OGC and ISO TC/211 International Standard that describes an XML and Key Value Pairs (KVP ) encoding of a system neutral syntax for expressing projections, selection and sorting clauses collectively called a query expression.
This specification contains requirements for service descriptions, describing information services, in the context of System Wide Information Management (SWIM).
This specification contains requirements for the implementation of technical infrastructure supporting information exchanges in System Wide Information Management (SWIM). It enables technical interoperability by specifying standardised technical interfaces (e.g. protocols) and the capabilities required to enable a reliable, secure and efficient exchange of information.
