Prototyping ArcInfo 8 for Use in Digital Nautical Chart Maintenance Author: Stephen M. Lewis 4600 Sangamore Road Phone: (301) 227-7645 The National Imagery and Mapping Agency's Hydro NIMA Production Cell (NPC) uses object-oriented technology to create and maintain Digital Nautical Chart (DNC) data.

ArcInfo 8 and its object-oriented tools can become an ideal tool for DNC maintenance, and the NPC is testing the software for this purpose and developing a DNC maintenance flow. |
