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). In the examples below, one file containts the chart corrections for one weekly NtM booklet.

Simplified UML Diagram presenting the conceptual structure of a Notice to mariner.

UML NtM conceptual structure.png

Each NoticeToMariner represents one single Notice. The Notice- object itself has attributes as; Notice number, date of publish, type of notice, source, title etc.

Each notice can contain any number of NoticeContent. NoticeContent is an abstract object, which can represent any of three types of content. The TextContent is a simple text-field, that can store simple (unformatted) text. ImageContent is any image added to the notice. Usually these are images of the chart to be corrected. The ChartCorrectionContent is a complex structure that includes a combination of an S-4 standard action (ADD, DELETE etc.), INT- symbols, standard phrases /commands and additional textual explanations.

Each NoticeContent has a reference to a ChartImage, which in turn has a reference to the ChartProduct it belongs to. A chart product is here assumed to be a given edition of a chart.
