OAX - Open Airlines eXchanges
OAX aims at providing a common vocabulary and modeling of the airline business entities, starting with the Crew domain. It consists in Creative Commons licensed documents providing:
-
UML model and associated documentation
- XML schema for airline data exchanges
- WSDL description of common services
The modeling draws on the experience of many contributing airlines. It tries to define a standard vocabulary and a standard way to represent entities and their relationships (specialization, association, etc.).
The modelling follows the best practices of the CEISAR (Center of Excellence in Enterprise Architecture) and is delivered as a text document with UML diagrams.
Based on the modeling and defined entities, OAX defines an extendible XML schema to exchange business objects between heterogeneous IT systems in a standard way.
Finally, OAX aims at defining common basic Web Services which are likely to be found in any crew system integration. These Web Services are defined using a WSDL notation.
