Presentation to the International Ice Charting Working Group 22 November 2007

1. Presentation to the International Ice Charting Working Group22 November 2007 Ice In Electronic Navigation Charts (ENCs) (A Status Report)

2. Ice In ECDIS Overview • Vision • Terminology • History • IHO Registry • Next Steps • ICAN Pilot Project

3. Terminology • ENC – Electronic Navigation Chart • ECS – Electronic Chart System • ECDIS – Electronic Chart Display and Information System • Approved system legally permitted to replace paper charts • S-57 – IHO standard for exchange of ECDIS data • S-52 –IHO standard for presentation of ECDIS information • S-100 – a new family of IHO standards that will replace S-57, S-52 and others – in several years • MIO – Marine Information Objects • Ice, Weather, currents, dynamic water depths, etc • AML – Additional Military Layer • SML – Supplementary Marine Layer

4. Ice In ENCs Vision • In the far northern and southern hemispheres, ice is significant hazard to navigation, in addition to the hazards found in temperate seas; the integration of real time or near real-time ice information into ENCs is an important and natural step towards safer polar navigation. • To achieve this vision one primary requirement is the development of an ICE feature data dictionary to work with ENCs.

5. Ice In ENCs - History After many years of effort an ICE Feature Data Dictionary is now available as a register compatible with IHO and others • 1992 – Workshop: S57 Object Catalogue - Ottawa • 1995 Workshop: Standards for Ice Information in ECDIS - Ottawa • Draft Ice Object Catalogue, Version 1.0 • 1996 Workshop: ECDIS in Ice Navigation – Hamburg • Ice Object Catalogue, Version 2.0 • 1999 The ECDIS Ice Chart Project, SevenCs AG & Co. • 2000 Ice In ECDIS Workshop – St. John’s, NFLD • Ice Object Catalogue, Version 3.0 • 2002 Integration of Sea Ice into ECDIS, UNB Project • 2005 IHO Ice Registry (Draft) • 2005 IICWG Interoperability Data Formats workshop • trial implementation of Ice Objects catalogue • catalogue revised to be consistent with other standards • 2007 JCOMM Expert Team on Sea Ice (ETSI) • Ice Object Catalogue Version 4.0 • ETSI accepts ownership of Ice Registry – approves Registry management process • 2007 HGMIO approves ETSI as owner of Ice Registry and appoints Falkingham as registry manager • IHO Register of Marine Information Objects goes on-line

6. IHO Registry of Hydrographic Related Features • Marine Information Objects • Layers on top of hydrographic charts that can be turned on and off • Objects do not have to conform to rigid hydrographic chart standards • Objects managed in an IHO Registry of Registers • Hydro, Ice, IENC, NPUB,etc

8. Registry Management A Registry is the system that supports the Register • Registry Owner: IHO • Primary responsibility for the management, dissemination and intellectual content of the registry • Registry User: Register Owners • Register owners / managers making changes to their Register in the Registry • Registry Manager: UKHO – Barrie Greenslade • Responsible for the administration of the registry content. Follows ISO 19135.

9. ICE Register Management • Register Owner: JCOMM ETSI • Primary responsibility for the management and intellectual content of the register • Register User: ECS Developers / Suppliers • Any person or organization interested in accessing or influencing the content of the register • Register Manager: ETSI Secretariat – Alice Soares • Responsible for the administration of the register content • Control Body: ETSI ENC Ice Objects Task Group • Responsible to review and recommend proposals for changes to the Register

10. Next Steps • Falkingham to populate the IHO ICE Register with Ice Objects from the Catalogue Version 4.0 • Turn maintenance of the register over to the ETSI Secretariat (training) • Prepare proposals to harmonize a few outstanding conflicts in standards • WMO Sea Ice Nomenclature & Symbology, SIGRID 3, Ice Objects • Trials with ENC suppliers to evaluate ICE Register in real systems • ICAN, TRANSAS, C-MAP, Seven Cs, etc • Develop presentation guidelines / standards

17. Next Steps (cont) • Ice Services to produce S-57 compatible ice information • Digital files containing data in S-57 format describing ice chart information using Ice Objects • Establish distribution mechanisms • Publicize • International Conference on Marine Data and Information Systems - IMDIS 2008 • March 31-April 2, 2008 – Athens, Greece

18. AML S-101 Next GenENC InlandENC MIO BathyENC 3D &Temporal Nautical Pubs ICE Gridded S-100 S-100 will support a greater variety of data sources, products and services S-100 will accommodate – not replace – S-57 Evolution to S-100

19. Support Greater Variety • Includes: • Imagery and gridded data • 3-D and time-varying data (x,y,z and time) • MIOs, Other • In support of: • Dynamic ECDIS • High-density bathymetry • Seafloor classification • Marine GIS • Web-based services

20. Strong Foundation • Built on strong international standards: • ISO /TC211 with 130 countries/members • In liaison with DGIWG (military), OGC (strong industry/web involvement presence) and GDSI (Global Spatial Data Infrastructure) • Harmonized data content between S-100 and NATO DIGEST • IHO will host Registry  facility to store/access various registers of hydrographic-related information ( such as feature data dictionaries, data types, metadata)

21. Further Details on S-100 • Go to IHO web site under committees •  TSMAD sub-working group •  IHO S100  Discussion Forum
