Applying the AIDM model-driven approach

How AIDM is used to develop Standards

The Airline Industry Data Model (AIDM) methodology defines an agile, model driven approach to building modern data exchange standards under the Passenger Standards Conference.

All new data exchange standards must follow the AIDM methodology and leverage industry agreed data definitions in the AIDM repository.

There are five stages in the methodology, including initiation, business requirements and modeling, logical and physical modeling, schema generation and validation, and implementation. Business and technical groups work together in order to build the necessary messages to support the standard.
