Brian Parish AML Specifications Manager UKHO
VPF annex B • VPF annex B for v2.0 CLB published July 05 • Fundamental problems with other draft annex Bs • Feature mapping is flawed (word matching) • DFDD is converging with S-57 • Geometry issues (HIHWG may have resolved) • UKHO will expend less effort on this in future • Requirement still exists • Can we involve industry in the solution?
VPF annex B, Proposal to Industry • The Annex B could be a by-product of VPF data production system software development. • There is a requirement & market for a VPF solution • There are many VPF reading legacy systems • A NATO GMWG endorsed Annex B is necessary • GMWG to specify VPF requirement • How much of the S-57 capability can we concede • Define an acceptable, pragmatic level of functionality in light of experience gained • Build on the work of the HIHWG and continue into the AML & TOD content models as recommended by IDON. • The company or industry consortium which develops the system and annex B is first to market following GMWG endorsement
