Introduction

Overview

This service description defines one service with a set of operations to submit flight leg oriented data. All flight related data elements are defined by the Airport Data Dictionary.

The service is primarily designed to meet the need of airport partners, but availability is the decision of the service provider.

Version 2.n of FDSS is implemented as a REST service. Previous versions were SOAP based.

Implementation considerations

Any implementation of this service MUST use the XSD files provided here: XSDs

It is however up to the service provider which data elements to support, and how to prioritize between data sources. The reason for a service provider to not support all elements might be business rules related to updating data, that it doesn't use the information, or that it wants the information updated in other (more restricted) ways.

Any service provider should make available documentation about the actual implementation, including:

• • the address of the service.
  • any limitations in the implementation.
  • recommended and allowed polling intervals.

Purpose of this service description

• • • Describe of service in enough detail for a service provider to implement it.
