Business Rules or Validation Rules ? • Definition of “business rules” has been standardized by OMG since Jan 2008 • See Semantics of Business Vocabulary and Business Rules (SBVR), v1.0 • Chapter 12.1.2 • Annex A.2.3 AIXM 5.1 – Business rules
Business Rules vs Validation Rules ? • OMG specification makes no difference based on validation means • It identifies two types of business rules • Structural rules • Operative rules • AIXM 5 will adopt this terminology and identify the following business rules: • AIXM Structural rules: the enumerations of values (datatypes) • AIXM Operative rules: rules extracted from official documents (ICAO Annexes), minimum data rules, consistency rules, recommended practices, coding rules… AIXM 5.1 – Business rules
AIXM Operative Business rules • Scope: • List of mandatory elements for AIXM 4.5 baseline information • A set of rules extracted from ICAO Annexes • AIXM GML profile • Arinc424-based rules for AIXM 5.0. • EAD rules for Obstacle • … • Work on this subject is underway AIXM 5.1 – Business rules

Schematron • Schematron (http://www.schematron.com/) • is an open language for the validation of XML document… • …whose specification is standardized (ISO/IEC 19757) • There are 6 basic elements in ISO Schematron: assertion, rule, pattern, schema, namespace and phase. AIXM 5.1 – Business rules
Schematron • <assert> and <report> elements • Simple declarative sentences in natural language • <assert> used to tag assertions positively <!-- The assert element matches if test is false --> <assert test="//designator"> An AirportHeliport shall have a designator. </assert> • <rule> element • Used to group assertions • Has a context: if the context matches, the assertions are tested AIXM 5.1 – Business rules
Schematron • <pattern> elements • Used to group rules having the same objective • <phase> elements • Used to group patterns • <schema> and <namespace> elements • Root Elements AIXM 5.1 – Business rules
Translation in AIXM: property turnDirection is required for a SegmentLeg of type AF Schematron – Example #1 (simple) A424: an AF leg requires a turn direction Simplified Schematron example <rule id="1" -> unique identifier of the rule context="// SegmentLeg[@legTypeARINC='AF'] "->Defines the conditions of the rule (If attribute SegmentLeg.legTypeARINC= “AF”). ->The rule will be tested if the context is true. <assert id="1_1" -> unique identifier of the assertion test="boolean(@turnDirection)" -> the logical test to be performed. The “assert” element matches if the logical test returns false (in this case, if the turnDirection is not provided). <SegmentLeg> <legTypeARINC>AF</legTypeARINC> <turnDirection>L</turnDirection> </SegmentLeg> <ruleid="1"context="//SegmentLeg[@legTypeARINC='AF'] "> <assert id="1_1" test="boolean(@turnDirection)"> </assert> </rule> AIXM 5.1 – Business rules

ARC (AIXM Rules Checker) • ARC is a proof-of-concept tool provided by Eurocontrol: • Open source • Compliant with Schematron standard • Based on Java and Web technologies HTML, Javascript and CSS • Main features of ARC: • Creation of profiles (Example of profiles: AIXM 4.5, AIXM 5.0) • Schematron validation of XML data, according to the selected profile • Generation and display of a validation report with detected errors AIXM 5.1 – Business rules
ARC (AIXM Rules Checker) • The result of the validation is an XML Report • every item in the XML source data that does not comply with a specific business rule is reported • details of the incompliance detected is provided. • It is possible to qualify the incompliance in a number of levels (fatal error, error, warning). AIXM 5.1 – Business rules
ARC (AIXM Rules Checker) • ARC was improved in 2009 • New Java engine to run the Schematron validation • New Java extension: • Support the XML namespaces • ARC can now evaluate xlink:href • Perform geographical computations in WGS84 AIXM 5.1 – Business rules
