Revision as of 18:04, 27 February 2010

SNPWG has to develop a Product Specification to enable ECDIS manufacturers to build software able to display NPUB information on an ECDIS screen. Following sub-pages provide discussions on the UML model and the ProdSpec for several NPUB problems. The SNPWG Wiki administration is trying to provide the files in a convenient way; but we can not guarantee to fit all requirements.

We started the UML modelling with a number of different UML applications but spotted problems when trying to exchange the files. We decided to use StarUML as the common application. StarUML is freely available and can be downloaded from the StarUML website http://staruml.sourceforge.net/en/. The file exchange works properly.

Product Specifications

Generals

Initially we tried to adapt the S-100 ProdSpec as much as possible. That was good for the learning process.

However, we have had a discussion resulting that we have to develop a ProdSpec S-10x for NPUBS and it is likely that such a specification can differ from S-100. We also discussed two options of a NPUB ProdSpec

  1. a totally new NPUB ProdSpec starting from scratch
  2. a NPUB ProdSpec using S-57 and charted content as much as possible, adding only those features relevant for nautical information.

The result is to follow the latter option. That avoids some work for us because we do not have to develop the charted content again. How that works can also be seen at the UML models. Only features useful for SNPWG work are copied from S-57. All others remain untouched.

What is currently under discussion? Do we need to build several ProdSpec or can we combine all ProdSpec proposed below into one NPUB ProdSpec. We will see what the future brings?

Waterways

The waterway ProdSpec is being discussed between Olav and Jens. The files reflecting the discussions are stored here File:Product Specification Waterways.doc

UML Models

We propose to display a jpg. file providing a preview of the UML model here or at the sub-pages and a link to the uml file for those who intent to work with UML.

Discussions are to be placed to the discussion page which has a similar structure like this page. The contacts provided are hosting the UML diagrams. It is strongly advised to contact them before trying to amend the attached UML files. The e-mail addresses are to be obtained from the IHO/SNPWG website if not known. We intent to avoid too much duplications of the work done.

And now enjoy studying diagrams.

Waterways

WaterwayArea Main Diagram

The idea behind the diagram is simple now. A waterway area (for SNPWG interest) contains only non-chartable information. We associate rec/res/reg/natinf to that area. If the rec/res/reg apply for a specified type of vessel the association is using that deviation.

The reason why no SEAARE is involved now is that we intent to avoid having two features with the same name and different spatial. That might cause confusion.

Pilotage Enumeration Diagram


The UML file for the pilotage model depicts attributes, enumerations, etc. in diagrams separate from the main diagram. Also, there are some omissions and shortcuts in this diagram, for example, ordinary UML enumerations are not quite the correct model for S100 enumeration value lists (doing that correctly in UML will take a lot more effort and complication and at this point of time I am not even sure StarUML can show it properly). The objects and attributes in this version are Jeppesen proposed updates (as of July 16) to those on the Wiki.

Regulations/Restrictions/Recommendations/Nautical Inforamrtion

Based on some discussions the non-geospacial scope diagrams above remain unchanged. It seems to be time to discuss the several options developed under new items open for confirmation. The diagrams are ideas and open for discussion. They are limited intentionally to the attributes in focus and didn't described the information objects extensively.
