PROPOSAL
MACHC MEIP WG Chair
International Partnering (UKHO)
I would like to take this opportunity to share with you the progress of a project which the UKHO has been involved with through the last year.
This project arose from the 12 Meeting of the MACHC in St Kitts in An important point to note is that the E stands for Economic. The aim of the project is to make the link between hydrography and its economic benefits.

2. Spatial Data Infrastructure
The MEIP concept is based on the Spatial Data Infrastructure, and the key points to note here are:
This allows interoperability and
broadens the scope beyond Safety of Navigation (SoN).

3. High Level layers identified
Base layers
Regional Hydrographic Commission layers
Economic layers
Legislation
During the initial sessions at MACHC some high level layers were proposed.
The working group has since narrowed these down to the following:
Base layers
RHC layers
Economic layers
Legislation

4. Sub layers
Base Layers
Port (Location, Importance, Lloyds List Data?) AIS Tracks (Historical and Current) RHC layers
Chart Metadata
RHC layers
Capacity Building (training received, C-55, etc) Hydrographic Survey Metadata / CATZOC
ENC (M_COVR) Metadata
Regional Commission limits Economic layers
Tourist Data (Cruise Ship Calls, Routes, Small Craft Routes)
Met/Oc Data – hurricane prone areas
Resource extraction areas
Maritime Limits/Areas Legislation Limits/areas
Here are some examples of possible sub-layers that the last MACHC identified and the working group further categorised.

7. THE PROPOSAL Piggy back on ENC on line (NOAA) viewer.
Agree Meta data model/profile
Set up MEIP area with required layers
Individual data providers are responsible for providing and maintaining the database
Data to be taken from existing Band files
A base x, y, z bathymetric layer with data spacing minimum 1000m apart (+ isobaths)
