S-128
Catalogue of Nautical Products
a place to discuss and follow the work

S-128 is a product specification on exchanges of catalogues of nautical products.
What specifically does the "Catalogue of Nautical Products" contain?
- Printed products available in each country?
- on-line resources?
- how will it be accessed?
- will this include all of the S-xxx items?
Nautical products can be classified into NP1, NP2 and NP3 depending on types of production. If S-128 were to include NP3 only, it could be used only when the development progress of S-XXX and production system for S-100 based products of each hydrographic office were settled.
Nevertheless, there is still a need to exchange catalogues of nautical products including INT charts. Paper-based and S-100 based nautical products will very likely be used concurrently for a while as is the case with S-57 and S- 101.
Outlined in the Table are potential catalogues of nautical products which can be included in S-128. Developing a comprehensive product specification can be considered, taking into account various nautical products, S-XXX, eNavigation, etc.
| Classification | Products |
|---|---|
| NP 1 | Paper chart, ENC, pilot, list of lights, tide table, current table |
| NP 2 | Digital list of lights, digital radio signals, TotalTide |
| NP 3 | S-101, S-102, S-111, S-112, … (s-1xx)
