S-101 Discussion Items Discovery Metadata
Discovery Metadata • Currently Discovery Metadata is in two locations • Clause 12 • Appendix • Contains similar information
Discovery Metadata • At the S-101 Stakeholders forum in March, it was proposed that the following should also be considered for discovery metadata: • A way to digitally check for the correct Feature Catalogue and Portrayal Catalogue version • The ability to insert a corrected through field that would inform the mariner and port state control which notice to mariner the ENC was corrected to.
Decisions for Consideration • Combine the content of both tables and place in Clause 12 – metadata. This will make maintenance easier • Review the proposed combined table to ensure that what is currently documented is correct. • Review and approve the proposed additions to the discovery metadata. • Propose additional fields for other types of metadata.
Discussion questions • Should TSMAD/DIPWG use the language in the IEC 66225 VDR specification in regards to support file formats or should S-101 specify file types. • The IMO VDR states the following: • The software should be compatible with an operating system available with commercial-off-the-shelf laptop computers and where nonstandard or proprietary formats are used for storing the data in the VDR, the software should convert the stored data into open industry standard formats.
Discussion questions • If file types are specified, what formats should be supported to make S-101 future proof? • Text • HTML • Audio • Video • What are the appropriate Audio and Video Formats?
Discussion Questions • In regards to support file management, should S-101 specify the implementation or just specify that redundant files are deleted?
Discussion Questions • What information regarding support files needs to go into the S-101 Discovery Metadata and S-101 Catalogue file?
Background • At CSMWG 18 it was suggested that simplified symbology has very little acceptance by the mariner at the following options should be explored: • Option a) delete simplified symbols • Option b) delete simplified symbols and redefine traditional symbols as coloured • Option c) declare simplified symbols as a voluntary option • It was also suggested that Colour Palattes be investigated also
Background • Additionally, NOAA also asked a question regarding the display of M_QUAL and CATZOC
Background • Approximately every year NOAA conducts a user survey that reaches the following groups: • AMERICAN PILOTS’ ASSOCIATION 1,200 MEMBERS • LOCAL PORT AUTHORITIES 40 LOCATIONS • MASTER AND MATES UNION 3,000 MEMBERS • US POWER SQUADRON 6,000 NAMED CHART USERS • US COAST GUARD AUXILIARY 3,000 NAMED CHART USERS • US COAST GUARD 1,400 NAMED CHART USERS • US NAVY 300 US SHIPS • AMERICAN WATERWAYS ORGANIZATION NAMED OPERATORS • TUG AND BARGE COMPANIES 5,000 TUG BOATS • WORKBOAT COMPANIES 100 COMPANIES • LAKE CARRIERS ASSOCIATION 12 COMPANIES
Q.19 IF HYDROGRAPHIC SURVEY QUALITY AREAS COULD BE PORTRAYED WITH THE STARRED SYMBOL OR THE YEAR OF THE SURVEY AND THE ZONE OF CONFIDENCE (CATZOC). WHICH OF THESE DO YOU PREFER?

Questions • Should Simplified Symbols be retained for S-101? • What is the benefit that S-101 will gain from reducing the number of palattes?
Discussion Questions • How are the SI and SD datasets related? • How does one ensure that an SI feature doesn’t exist in an SD dataset or vice versa?
Discussion Questions • How will portrayal work? • Portrayal of SI and SD data together • Portrayal of one area that has SI and SD data adjacent to an area that does not
Discussion Questions • How will distribution work?
Discussion Questions • How will updates work? • Sometimes an update will affect both SI and SD data – are they packaged together and released simultaneously. What happens if the end user only gets updates to the SI data and not the SD data?
Discussion Questions • Would TSMAD consider multiple SI cells by different themes? • Eg. An SI cell that contains only TSS information and a SI cell that contains Aids to Navigation. These would have to be related in some way. Can the same association cover two different datasets?
Discussion Questions • Can the perceived benefits be achieved in another way?
