Reference “IHO S-100 - The New Hydrographic Geospatial Standard for Marine Data and Information” R. Ward, L. Alexander, B. Greenslade http://www.iho.int/COMMITTEES/CHRIS/TSMAD/S-100_Info_Paper.pdf

History IHO S-57 - May 1992 Edition 3.0 - November 1996 Edition 3.1 - November 2000 (currently “active” but “frozen”) Edition 3.1 Supplement No. 1 - January 2007 (added IMO-requested features for PSSA and ASL) Edition 3.1 Supplement No. 2 - June 2009 (amended ZOC criteria, corrected navaid master-slave relationship) S-100 Edition 1.0.0 - January 2010

S-57 Hydrographic Data Transfer Standard Contains: Introduction Data Model Data Structure and Format Rules for ISO 8211 encapsulation Appendix A – Object Catalogue Appendix B1 - ENC Product Specification

S-57 Users Hydrographic Offices Electronic Navigational Charts (ENCs) other communities have S-57 based products Additional Military Layers (AML) Marine Information Overlay (MIO) Inland ENC [Port ENC]

S-57 Limitations Developed primarily to meet ENC requirement for an IMO compliant ECDIS Inflexible maintenance regime (freezing of editions) Cannot support contemporary requirements gridded bathymetry, time-varying information, etc Data transfer mechanisms are limited data model embedded in encapsulation (ISO 8211)

Why S-100 ? Join mainstream GIS maximizes access to COTS software and development interoperability with other ISO 19100 based profiles new components not developed in isolation easier use of hydro data beyond HOs and ECDIS users - coastal zone mapping, security, inundation modeling, … extensible and active feature catalogue registry Plug-and-Play updating of data, symbology and software enhancements

S-100 will support : Imagery and gridded data High-density bathymetry Seafloor classification 3-D and time-varying data (x,y,z and time) Dynamic ECDIS MIOs Marine GIS Web-based services other maritime data applications …

S-100 Framework Data Structure for Hydrographic and Related Data broad geospatial framework structure Not specific to ECDIS or charting Capable of accommodating other requirements Increasing interest from prospective e-Navigation data providers Based on ISO 19100 series of geographic standards Product Specifications based on S-100 will be assigned a S-10x number.

Naming: S-57 e4.0  S-100 S-57 is NOT the ENC Product specification S-57 and S-100 : generic framework standards for hydrographic and related information

Additional Objectives Content and carrier are independent No need for new versions of product specifications or system revisions Plug-and-play updating Product Feature Catalogs more flexible and capable of expansion can accommodate future IMO requirements Will support emerging ECDIS / e-Navigation requirements integrated Nautical Publications, Inland & Port ENC Product Specs, etc

Strong Foundation Built on established international standards: ISO /TC211 (130 countries/members) Liaison DGIWG (military) OGC (strong industry/web involvement presence) SDI (Spatial Data Infrastructure) communities IHO is hosting the ISO compliant Registry Contains registers of hydrographic-related information (such as feature content dictionaries, data types, metadata, etc)

Registry and Registers Management procedures in IHO S-99 Registers organised under “domains” (hydrographic features, sea ice coverage, nautical publications, Inland ENCs, etc) Registry open to extension and use by other submitting organizations Submitting organizations propose then regulate their domain data - via domain control body All features tagged with domain “owner”

Open Participation Is what you want already in the S-100 registry? Then use it ! Not in the registry ? Then, find or become a submitting organization to : propose a revision propose something new propose to establish a new domain

S-100 will support a greater variety of data sources, products and services Inland ENC 3D & temporal AML Sea ice UNCLOS boundaries MIO High density bathymetry Gridded data Web services ? ? ? ? ? Nautical Publications (S-102) Future ENC (S-101) S-100

S-100 and Product Specifications S-101 ENC … contains all the components to make different product specifications for all types of hydrographic data S-100 S-102 ?? S-103 ?? S-104 ?? ???????????????????????????????? ... S-10?…

S-101 – next generation ENC Standard for future Electronic Navigational Charts Based on concepts in S-100 S-57 ed3.1 data will be usable in S-101 compliant ECDIS systems Will incorporate all the data included in S-57 ENC Will allow for plug and play updating of data, symbology and software enhancements

S-101 Development Timetable Establish test datasets and test-beds Conduct impact analysis Production Software (Hydrographic Offices, software companies) OEMs End Users – training establishments Type-approval authorities

Migration from S-57 to S-100 Cooperation with all interested parties (workshops, IHO S-100 Discussion Forum, …..) S-57 ed3.1 will continue to be used for many years even after S-100 release Opportunity to use S-100 based Prod Specs (e.g. gridded bathy) with S-57 ENC Prod Spec via data overlays

Impact on S57 e3.1 ENCs S-101 ENC Product Specification will not come into force until at least 2012 S-101 ENC will sit alongside the existing S-57 e3.1 ENC Product Specification for some time ECDIS equipment which are upgraded to use S-101 ENCs will be able to use S-57 e3.1 ENCs

Summary S-100 Will enable wider use and transfer of hydrographic data than S-57 Registry open to extension and use by other submitting organizations Will better support new/emerging requirements Is aligned with a contemporary standard (ISO 19100) Will NOT make S-57 ENCs obsolete Will not require HO’s to change to S-100 in the near future
