2. Background S-57 was created more than 30 years ago
Meant for a specific safety of navigation product: a chart (ENC)
Stringent QC/QA control
Business model designed to address the shipping (SOLAS) industry
Encryption (S-63)
High quality, reach authoritative content
Highly valuable for GIS
No business model to address users outside SOLAS
Even for maritime activities outside the bridge not easily available.
