Overview
The Aeronautical Information Exchange Model (AIXM) format was developed by EUROCONTROL, the European Organisation for the Safety of Air Navigation, to allow aeronautical data standardization and exchange. The role of AIXM is to enable systems to exchange aeronautical information in the form of XML-encoded data.
Reader Overview
The AIXM 4.5 reader presents features by normalizing the XML data into the entities of the AIXM Entity-Relational model. Thus, the feature representation is not equivalent to the AIXM XML format representation of the AIXM E-R model entity.
Writer Overview
The AIXM 4.5 writer has a fixed output schema that closely resembles the AIXM Entity-Relational model.
The reader can be connected directly to the writer and the output file will be nearly identical to the original source file.
