Notes and Terms related to building a product specification
In an effort to transition from paper-based books to a more data-centric information system, these product specifications were decided by the group. The information stored in N-Pubs were broken into manageable thematic information blocks that could be assigned to individuals within the group who are subject-matter experts.
The following pages contain discussion and work being done on each specific product specification (an * means there is no sample data so the page is rather empty, highlighted are being "intensively worked on"):
S-122 - Marine Protected Areas
S-128 - Catalogue of Nautical Products*
S-12x - Marine Services*
S-xxx - Digital Mariners' Routeing Guide*
S-xxx - Harbour Infrastructure*
IHO Geospatial Information (GI) Registry
Since many of these S-xxx standards originated from Coast Pilots and Sailing Directions, here is a list of member states nautical publications for reference:
- Argentina
- Australia's Seafarer Handbook
- Brazil
- Chile
- New Zealand Nautical Almanac
- Peru Coast Pilot
- U.K. Sailing Directions
- U.S. Coast Pilot
- U.S. NGA Sailing Directions
