Facts about S-100 – Universal Hydrographic Data Model
S-100 is the IHO standard for the Universal Hydrographic Data Model. It provides the data framework for the development of the next generation electronic navigational charting products, as well as other digital products required by the hydrographic, maritime and GIS communities.
Aligns with mainstream GIS
New components not developed in isolation
Easier use of hydrographic data beyond Hydrographic Offices and Electronic Chart Display
and Information System (ECDIS) users
Plug-and-play updating of data, symbology and software enhancements
