XML chart correction examples for comparison

- French XML

Description by Shom: NtM chart corrections in XML are produced since the beginning of 2018, with CARIS “Publication module” customized for Shom. They are used by our internal process for the production of our weekly NtM booklet (pdf) and NtM website. The XML also contains some internal data. The XML doesn’t contain the chart correction number. It is added later in the process as well as the link with the tracing and with the possible NtM block (graphical chart-updating). One NtM may concern several charts to be updated. The XML refers to a font (TrueTypeFont) for the graphical feature which is subject of the instruction. The chart corrections are in French and a glossary French-English is available in our weekly NtM booklet and NtM website [(http://gan.shom.fr/ganl/htdocs/FR_home.htm)]. We also convert the XML in GML for internal checking purposes using the geometry of NtM (graphical display).
