Abstract
Using Esri PLTS Nautical to Produce Nautical Charts
Track: Charting
Author(s): Christie Ence, Tara Wallace, Colby Harmon
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is implementing its new Nautical Chart System II (NCSII) using the ArcGIS PLTS Nautical Solution and a single data repository based on the IHO S-57 data model. NCSII will support the ingestion and storage of data from various sources, as well as compilation, validation and finishing of both digital and paper nautical products needed by the maritime community to support safe navigation, including ENC, raster charts, paper charts and weekly critical updates.
Using a Product Library, updated feature objects from the seamless database will be replicated to individual product Geodatabases. PLTS enables the automation of many raster finishing tasks and the customization of tools to meet workflow and system requirements. These powerful tools include the Grid Creation Wizard, Visual Specifications, Magnetic Calculator, Graphic Table Element and Feature-Linked Annotation.
This paper describes the creation of NOAA Paper Nautical Charts using ArcGIS PLTS Nautical Solution.
