Worldwide Marine SDI (MSDI) Initiatives

A few examples from a hydrographic point of view

(M)SDI May not be highest priority

Hydrographic offices = SafetyPort and Waterways = Economy

Safety

UN’s International Maritime Organization– Safety Of Life At Sea (SOLAS)– International and national law– Updated hydrographic charts must be carried

The (blue) economy

Europe's 3 largest ports handles 30 million TEUs annually

– That’s more than 80,000 TEUs daily

Christian Jones, LINZ at CARIS2014

New Zealand

Land Information New Zealand (LINZ)• LINZ Data Services

– 7 data themesE.g. topography, hydrography, geodesy, cadastral, place names,

aerial imagery

– OGC (e.g. WFS and CS-W)– ISO 19115/19139– Creative Common data license

Share: Copy and redistribute the material in any medium or formatAdapt: Remix, transform, and build upon the material

Navy or civilian organizations?

Of IHO recognized hydrographic office are–Roughly 2/3 civilian–Roughly 1/3 defence (navy)

Defence organizations can too

IHO Capacity Building

MSDI workshops Includes topics like:– SDI Policy, Technical Standards and Geographic

Content– Data Modeling, Data Organization and Infrastructure– Data Management, Production and Interoperability– Human Aspects, Change Management and

Sustainability– Executed by CARIS and OceanWise

Worldwide MSDI workshops

From China, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Philippines, Korea, Singapore, Vietnam, Thailand, Bangladesh, Comoros, Kenya, Malawi, Namibia, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Philippines, Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay, Guatemala, Chile, Colombia

IHO S-102

S-102 is IHO’s first S-100 product specification– Bathymetric Attributed Grid (BAG)

• BAG encoding is HDF5

– Intended for navigational use– Allows additional data

• Uncertainty for each node• Digital signature

Navigational Surface with an ENC

WCS

Web Coverage Service– Coverage data containing original semantics

Allows data delivery in various data formats– E.g. GML, GeoTIFF, HDF-EOS, NITF

Belgium MSDI using WCS

More than 13000 data sets availableDownloadable as GeoTIFF, BAG and ASCII
