== Proposed attribute CATRXN ==
+
two new attributes were proposed, both are placed at an appropriate place now
  
[[User:Rmm|raphael]] 05:23, 17 August 2009 (UTC) : A new attribute Category of regulation / restriction / recommendation is proposed. CATRXN (Category of regulation/restriction/recommendation) is a means of categorizing regulations, restrictions, and recommendations by sailing directions topic.  Categories include pilotage, traffic, anchorages, etc. Applications would use CATRXN values when they need to collect objects of a class - for example, when they collect all information objects for a specified place that pertain to pilotage, perhaps to display a box with "all pilotage information for place X" on the screen.

[[CATRXN]] becomes an own entry at the SNPWG FDD page
  
Specification (has evolved since the draft pilotage specification)
+
[[RXNCOD]] becomes an own entry at the SNPWG FDD page
  
Attribute: Category of regulation / restriction / recommendation
+
[[User:Rmm|raphael]] 03:00, 26 August 2009 (UTC): Just a note to mention that while John P. and I were working on the pilotage generic example we encountered regulations about pilot qualifications in the context of regulations often enough that we thought it worth considerng whether attribute [[PLTQFC]] should be bound to [[REGLTS]]. SNPWG is invited to consider this suggestion.

== Proposed Attribute RXNCOD ==
 
 
 
[[User:Rmm|raphael]] 05:35, 17 August 2009 (UTC): RXNCOD (Regulation/restriction/regulation code) is intended to provide numeric codes that identify the information as one of the most common types of regulations (or restrictions, etc.) RXNCOD values are precise enough for an application to display specific alerts. RXNCOD values may correspond to specific text ("e.g., pilotage compulsory"). Applications could use RXNCOD to display specific strings, or provide and handle specific alerts.
 
 
 
 
 
Attribute: Regulation / restriction / recommendation code
 
 
 
Acronym: RXNCOD
 
 
 
Attribute type: Simple
 
 
 
Camel Case: rxnCode
 
 
 
Data Type: Enumeration
 
 
 
Definition: This attribute encodes the most common types of regulations (recommendations, restrictions).
 
 
 
Values:
 
 
 
1 Pilotage compulsory
 
 
 
2 Pilot qualifications
 
 
 
3 Passage prohibited

6 Overtaking conditionally permitted
 
 
 
7 Restricted passage
 
 
 
8 Tugs
 
 
 
9 Quarantine and health
 
 
 
10 Customs
 
 
 
11 Loading and unloading
 
 
 
12 Drawbridge operations
 
 
 
13 Navigation prohibited
 
 
 
14 Right of way
 
 
 
15 Traffic permission required
 
 
 
16 Dimensional
 
 
 
 
 
Definitions:
 
 
 
Pilotage compulsory
 
 
 
Pilotage is compulsory

Pertaining to the qualifications of pilot (details described in INFORM attribute or TXTDSC file)

Overtaking permitted only under certain conditions (stated in INFORM/TXTDSC file)
 
 
 
 
 
Restricted passage
 
 
 
Pertaining to head-on situations in restricted passages or fairways (details in INFORM or TXTDSC file)
 
 
 
 
 
Tugs
 
 
 
Tug assistance compulsory
 
 
 
 
 
Quarantine and health
 
 
 
Quarantine and health regulations (details described in INFORM or TXTDSC)

Dimensional
 
 
 
Applicable only to vessels exceeding specified dimensions (associated chalim will specify limits)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Remarks: This attribute encodes the most common types of regulations (recommendations, restrictions) in a form that software (e.g., ECDIS) can use to do at least some subject-specific processing. Since the details are in natural language (i.e., as text in INFORM), this will not be comprehensive, but (a) it should be possible to use this in conjunction with “chalim” in some cases to provide enhancements like automatic indicators in the ECDIS/ECS that passage is forbidden for vessels of certain size; (b) provide hints, such as a hint that pilotage is probably compulsory, etc.
 
 
 
In spite of the similarity in names, they are actually have different functions: CATRXN is intended for "classifying" of 4-brothers instances; RXNCOD is designed to "identify" what the specific regulation, etc., says in a way that can be recognized by software, which allows specific alerts to be raised.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Comments for addition of more codes, refinement or removal of codes9, 10, 11, 12, 14 invited.

two new attributes were proposed, both are placed at an appropriate place now

CATRXN becomes an own entry at the SNPWG FDD page

RXNCOD becomes an own entry at the SNPWG FDD page

raphael 03:00, 26 August 2009 (UTC): Just a note to mention that while John P. and I were working on the pilotage generic example we encountered regulations about pilot qualifications in the context of regulations often enough that we thought it worth considerng whether attribute PLTQFC should be bound to REGLTS. SNPWG is invited to consider this suggestion.
