It represents a directory of selected cases, Good Practice and outstanding problems to be faced, able to depict efficaciously the situation at the European level. http://inspire.jrc.ec.europa.eu/index.cfm/pageid/241/referenceid/59876 http://inspire.jrc.ec.europa.eu/index.cfm/pageid/241/referenceid/59876 Mon, 01 Nov 2010 00:00:00 +0100 The Bathymetric Product Specification (S-102) is the development of the TSMAD Working Group of the IHO (International Hydrographic Organisation) to encapsulate the BAG (Bathymetric Attributed Grid) within the S-100 framework, based on the ISO 191xx series of standards. S-102 is to become the standard in which Hydrographic Services will distribute their future bathymetric products (for navigation and other use). The BAG is a global, non-proprietary, open source exchange format created to facilitate the processing and storage of large volume multibeam sonar data. It is developed by the Open Navigation Surface Working Group, implemented in software (libraries) like GDAL, FME and CARIS. They developed an API (Application Programming Interface) associated with it. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the University of New Brunswick, Naval Oceanographic Office at the Stennis Space Center and industry partners like CARIS and SevenCs contributed to the work of the ONSWG.

The last public working draft was published in September 2009 (and is included in this message). The product specification is intended to be used for encoding and exchanging maritime boundary information. The work is not completed yet (to my knowledge), but the parts that have been completed have been worked on by very relevant domain experts from the U.N. http://inspire.jrc.ec.europa.eu/index.cfm/pageid/241/referenceid/49605 http://inspire.jrc.ec.europa.eu/index.cfm/pageid/241/referenceid/49605 Wed, 06 Oct 2010 00:00:00 +0100 The document reports the different tasks and processes carried-out by the NESIS partnership as regards the Good Practices on ICT solutions to manage Environmental Information, including the methodology adopted and applied in the different steps considered to work on the Good Practices: • Identification of Good Practices for NESIS • Implementation of Good Practice Catalogue • Good Practice Analysis http://inspire.jrc.ec.europa.eu/index.cfm/pageid/241/referenceid/59875 http://inspire.jrc.ec.europa.eu/index.cfm/pageid/241/referenceid/59875 Thu, 30 Sep 2010 00:00:00 +0100 Coastal and Marine Ecological Classification Standard released for public review http://inspire.jrc.ec.europa.eu/index.cfm/pageid/241/referenceid/71822 http://inspire.jrc.ec.europa.eu/index.cfm/pageid/241/referenceid/71822 Tue, 31 Aug 2010 00:00:00 +0100
