(b) Different delivery methods and data media may require different procedures to ensure the required data quality. (c) Further guidance on digital dataset distribution can be found in ICAO Doc 10039 ‘Manual on System Wide Information Management (SWIM) Concept’. (d) Global communication networks and web services may be employed for the provision of aeronautical information products.
