Oceanic is part of a consortium of airlines that have a group arrangement for the shared supply and use of aircraft spares. The availability and nature of parts at any location are described by AirPartML, an internationally-agreed XML dialect constrained by a series of detailed XSD schema. Each member of the consortium publishes the availability of their spares on the web using AirPartML. These descriptions can subsequently be searched and retrieved by other consortium members when seeking parts for maintenance. The protocol for use of the descriptions requires invalid documents to be rejected. Oceanic wishes to also publish RDF descriptions of their parts and would prefer to reuse the AirPartML documents which are produced by systems that have undergone exhaustive testing for correctness. There is no provision in the existing schemas for extension elements and changing the schemas to accommodate RDF would require an extended international standardisation effort, likely to take many years.
