MARINE / HYDROGRAPHIC SPATIAL DATA INFRASTRUCTURES

Havana, Cuba, 12-13 February 2007

MARINE SDI

• There is a need…

to create awareness of the need to also consider the areas at sea in terms of geospatial data.

IHO and HOsin ESTABLISHING a MSDI

MARINE SDI

• How to satisfy this need:

by discussing and agreeing on measures appropriate to make progress in developing marine SDIs as part of national, regional or global SDIs.

ROSTOCK SEMINAR 2005

RECOMMENDATIONS Define customer/ client needs Define core data held by HO’s Create a framework for SDI’s Define strategies and mechanisms for

implementation of SDI  Develop a communications plan for

both internal and external stakeholders

The mapping “solution”

NMAs and HOs generally use:

• Different coordinate systems

• Different projections

• Different datums (Hz & V)

• Different content

RESULT: Users cannot reference any object consistently across the coastal zone

A formal SDI solution

Common framework to support:

• Interoperable coordinate systems & datums

• Interoperable objects along agreed boundary

• Interoperable Feature Catalogues

RESULT: Marine SDI and Land SDI link up seamlessly

S-100 will support a greater variety of data sources, products and services

Strong Foundation

• Built on strong international standards:– ISO /TC211 with 130 countries/members– In liaison with DGIWG (military), OGC (strong

industry/web involvement presence) and GDSI (Global Spatial Data Infrastructure)

– Harmonized data content between S-100 and NATO DIGEST

– IHO will host Registry facility to store/access various registers of hydrographic-related information (such as feature concept dictionaries, data types, metadata)

The role of IHO

• Identifying and promoting best practice– Save wasted effort

• Leadership – Influence members– Support members– Services eg registers

• Mainstream Standards• Collaborative approach• Communication

HAVANA WORKSHOP 2007

RECOMMENDATIONS

1. IHB to communicate with IOC to cooperate on the development of the data standard S-100, with a view to facilitate marine/hydrographic data exchange.

 2. IHB to advertise and promulgate S-100 to the wider spatial data user community, including land mapping organizations

 

HAVANA WORKSHOP 2007

RECOMMENDATIONS (Cont)

3. The Workshop supported reinforcing the need for IHO to move forward on developing a strategy for designing and implementing Marine SDI, including an assessment of associated benefits to society.

4. IHO Regional Hydrographic Commissions to have “Progress on Marine SDI Development and Land-Sea Data Integration” as a standing agenda of their meetings.

 5. IHB to establish on the IHO website a special page dedicated to Marine SDI developments, including the outcomes of regional workshops on the matter.
