The International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) and The Hydrographic and Oceanographic Service of the Chilean Navy (SHOA) - S-100 – New Geospatial Standard for Marine Data and Information Captain Mariano E. Rojas Director, SHOA
IHO Standards and Technical Guidelines 15 international standards or guidelines 10 associated guidance publications
15 standards and guidelines paper chart specifications electronic chart specifications data symbology security testing digital hydrographic data standards training of surveyors and nautical cartographers
S-57 - International Transfer Standard IHO Transfer Standard for Digital Hydrographic Data established 1992 intended for wide use
S57 - shortcomings content and carrier (ISO 8211) combined difficult to update / introduce new editions lacks flexibility and ease of extension / development used almost exclusively for official nautical charts no longer a contemporary standard requires specific tools to use in GIS
Why S-100 ? - Geospatial Standard for Hydrographic Data need to develop and maintain a contemporary standard high compatibility with other standards flexible and extensible development separate content from carrier
different data types imagery gridded data 3-D time varying data ( x, y, z ) high density bathymetry seafloor classification Why S-100 ? - Geospatial Standard for Hydrographic Data
wider user base GIS applications Web-based services Why S-100 ? - Geospatial Standard for Hydrographic Data
