1 Overview of Airline Industry Data Model

2 Evolution of data exchange standards Paper Examples: Loadsheet, Paper Ticket World Financial Symposium Teletype 2014 Examples: Baggage operations, Reservations EDIFACT Examples: Ticketing, Reservations, PNRGOV XML Examples: Airline shopping, ticketing, flight information

3 Demand for new messages is growing Current challenges Current manually intensive message-by-message development approach cannot keep up with the growing demand for industry standard messages, it is not fast enough Data World definitions Financial industry Symposium systems are 2014 inconsistent Same term has different meanings in different systems and standards Multiple terms are used to describe the same concept in systems or standards Lack of computer-readable industry reference for data definitions and their relationships Can t easily align/integrate standards with industries already adopting model-driven approach For example, air traffic managers are investing heavily in the development of new information exchange models and find it difficult to reflect in their models the concepts from established airline standards published in free text format.

7 Increased consistency of definitions and format Benefits Enforcing strong methodology ensures that all data is modeled according to the same rules. Concentrating all industry data definitions in one repository accessible to all promotes re-use and increases the consistency of resulting standards. Faster development of new standards Re-using existing industry definitions, data and process models speeds up the development of new standards as well as modifications of existing standards. Streamlined deployment of new standards Standards developed using the same methodology and the same data repository are consistent. Users need to learn only once and then apply the same knowledge in multiple deployments.. Breaking down of silos Integrated data model gives visibility across business areas and the possibility of re-use motivates the users to collaborate and maintain common views and structure across business areas.
