Element 2.1 HSSC HYDROGRAPHIC SERVICES AND STANDARDS COMMITTEE (TASK 2.1.1) 3rd MEETING OF THE IHO HYDROGRAPHIC SERVICES AND STANDARDS COMMITTEE (HSSC) IHB, Monaco, 8-10 November The third meeting of the Hydrographic Services and Standards Committee was held at the IHB in Monaco from 8 to 10 November. The meeting was attended by 47 delegates representing 23 Member States and 12 delegates representing seven Non-Governmental International Organizations (NGIO’s) and sister intergovernmental organizations. The work of the HSSC’s ten subordinate Working Groups was examined. The Committee was brought up to date on the development of S-100 - The Universal Hydrographic Data Model and the significant interest being shown in the S-100 standard by non Member State organisations. The Transfer Standard Maintenance and Applications Development Working Group (TSMAD) reported good progress on developing the S-100 based ENC Product Specification S-101, and the completion of S-102, a data exchange standard for bathymetric data. Other notable topics included the approval of programmes of revision for various ECDIS-related standards to address recently identified operating and implementation anomalies in ECDIS being used at sea. DEVELOP S-100 AND MSDI STANDARDS TASK 2.1.2 The S-100 IHO Universal Hydrographic Data Model (UHDM), published in January 2010, provides the framework for the development of the next generation hydrographic products and services. Although this publication remained static during 2011, work on several S-100 based product specifications was progressed. These include product specifications for S-100 based ENCs, Marine Protected Areas and for Bathymetric Surface data. A few extensions were made to the associated IHO on-line registry which was established to support the S-100 UHDM and S-100 based products. S-100 has since been recommended by the IMO as a baseline standard for the Common Maritime Data Structure required for e-Navigation. 38
