Abstract

Marine Information Overlays: Database Modeling, Data Interoperability and Workflow Development
Track: Database Design, Automation, and Management
Author(s): Daniel Smith

This project presents a set of tools to facilitate interoperability between an ArcGIS geodatabase model and the S-57 international standard for nautical data. Central to this interoperability are Marine Information Overlays (MIO), which are additional navigation information to the Electronic Nautical Chart database. MIO data is intended to provide safe and efficient ship routing. Semantic mapping between the marine objects in the S-57 standard and the MIO model preserves the essential components of each. Data interoperability is realized through the use of semantic mapping via a configured PLTS Nautical Solution import/export engine.
