AIRM-based, fine-grained semantic filtering of notices to airmen

摘要

NOTAMs are time- and safety-critical announcements of temporary changes to global flight conditions essential to personnel concerned with flight operations. In this paper we introduce SemNOTAM, a knowledge-based framework that enables fine-grained intelligent semantic filtering and provides a formal, explicit, and machine-readable representation of Digital NOTAMs and associated business rules. Filtering functionalities for time, space, aircraft, user-defined aspects, and any combination thereof are supported. Furthermore, SemNOTAM is designed in such a way that it can be employed in various scenarios, e.g., On-Board briefing or Flight Planning Briefing. Regardless the specific scenario 100% recall is supported.
