Background
In January 2010 the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) published S-100 – Universal Hydrographic Data Model, a framework geospatial standard for hydrographic-related digital data. S-100 is aligned with the ISO 19100 series of geographic standards, thereby making the use of hydrographic and other geographic data more interoperable than using the present IHO S-57 data transfer standard.
IALA is establishing the S-200 domain, in consultation with IHO. This domain uses the range S-201 to S-299 for Product Specifications compliant with the IHO S-100 standard, covering fields within the IALA remit, including Aids to Navigation (AtoN), Vessel Traffic Services (VTS), positioning systems and communication systems.
The Norwegian Coastal Administration hosted the first joint session in September of 2022 and now the second will be hosted by the US.
Process
The workshop will consist of presentations from a range of expert speakers covering topics including an update on S-100 and S-200, various Hydrographic Offices and Aids to Navigation Competent Authorities sharing their experiences, views and opinions.
Following these presentations, working group sessions will be held with a focus on identifying gaps in the S-100 series data, S-201,124 and 125 development and S-98 interoperability and Marine AtoN portrayal from the operational, technical and training perspective.
Objective
The objective of the workshop is to continue to harmonize and open feedback channels between IHO and IALA regarding Product Specification requirements, development processes, implementation gaps and a way forward.
Topics
The workshop deals with S-100 / S-200 aspects. This will include a range of topics, such as:
- Shared Experiences (lessons Learned);
- Implementation plans to meet upcoming deadlines;
