6. CARIS HOM AML 2.0 SP1 Release: November 2004
Service Pack 1: August 2005; contains over 60 fixes
and enhancements
Highlights:
Support for v1.0 and v2.0 of AML product specifications
Tool to convert AML v1.0 data sets to v2.0
Object Import Utility now supports ESRI SHP files as a data source and allows coordinate transformations to be done on input data

7. CARIS HOM AML 2.0 SP1 AML v1.0 and v2.0 support
Import, edit, create and update/maintain v1.0 and v2.0
AML data
Select and switch between AML product profiles at any time
All operations including QC/QA and product creation will be based on the active product profile
Select an AML product
profile (e.g. CLB 2.0)

8. CARIS HOM AML 2.0 SP1 Intelligent AML v1.0 to v2.0 conversion
Tool to easily convert AML v1.0 data sets to v2.0
Conversion rules are stored in an editable lookup table in XML format
Tool can be run on one or more data sets (batch mode)
All modifications performed (e.g. ‘Replace object’) are written to a log file for review

9. CARIS HOM AML 2.0 SP1 Enhanced Object Import Utility
Import geometry (point, line, area) and attribution from
ESRI SHP files
Transform coordinates in input data ‘on-the-fly’ during
import
Users specify the coordinate system for the input data set. Doing so ensures coordinates being imported are correctly transformed.
List of available coordinate systems is stored in an editable ASCII file; new coordinate systems can be defined at any time.

10. CARIS HPD
What is HPD?
CARIS HPD offers a new and innovative solution to managing digital hydrographic, and other, data in an efficient and integrated multi-user, seamless, database-driven environment (Oracle)
CARIS HPD allows for a single copy of source data features to be maintained, from which multiple product types (e.g. S-57 ENC, paper chart, AML) can be derived and managed, at many different scale ranges
No suites of separate data files to manage.

11. CARIS HPD Allows a feature to have multiple representations
HPD Data Model Advantages
HPD has adopted state of the art data models (S-57, VPF,
OGC). Some of the benefits:
Allows a feature to have multiple representations
Shared geometry
Feature generalization relationships
Individual object lineage (history and tracking)
Data certification and integrity
Oracle integrity constraints, referential integrity and data security are leveraged by HPD

12. CARIS HPD and AML Support for AML is being implemented in CARIS HPD
CARIS HPD Source Editor – Compile and manage source data
New CARIS HPD AML Editor – Create AML products from source data
UKHO test AML data sets loaded in HPD Source Editor
Scale band 6 CLB product created in HPD AML Editor
RAL product created in HPD AML Editor
