Dataset Evaluation

Please find below datasets which are available here for evaluation purposes only. These evaluation datasets are not effective and are not for operational use, but they can be used to evaluate your ability to ingest and utilise the data format. AIS intends to provide these files to gather feedback from end users and work collaboratively in order to provide a usable and fit for purpose dataset service. 

The datasets have been constructed using the Eurocontrol AIXM data coding guidelines as closely as possible. 

Some datasets are provided with Keyhole Markup format Language (KML) which allows for visual validation of the AIXM format only and is not provided as a authoritative source.

AIXM files have been presented with the inclusion of AIS internal extensions, which have been converted to XML remarks. This is to allow the user to understand an increase to the sequence and/or correction number of a feature where no apparent AIXM attribution appears to have changed. 

Feedback on these datasets should be directed to aissupervisor@nats.co.uk.
