The Role of Machine-readable Portrayal Catalogue for Displaying New S-100 Format Data in ECDIS
1 Gdynia Maritime University, Gdynia, Poland
ABSTRACT: The purpose of this article is to familiarize users of Electronic Nautical Charts (ENC) with one of the key components of the new IHO S-100 format, which is an automatic set of data visualization rules called the Portrayal Catalogue (PC). This article presents the current status of data presentation, the structure of the PC divided into file types, the mechanics of the inside PC attached Alert Catalogue (AC) and it crucial role for alerting mariners, an example data flow diagram using the applied Lua language, Lua language principles and the results of a test displaying an anchorage on an ENC S-101 cell. It also discusses the benefits and main risks for manufacturers and users of Electronic Chart and Display Information System (ECDIS) systems when using a PC in S-100 format.
