The 14 th C&SMWG meeting was held at the CHS, Ottawa, Canada, on 18-20 May. The main agenda
items were:
- Drafting activities related to Edition 4.2 of S-52, Appendix 2 and to Edition 3.3 of the IHO
Presentation Library, so that these new editions can be published as soon as possible. This
included a 3-table colour scheme; and Chart 1 and symbol diagrams.
- Development of a paper based description of the ECDIS symbols, to be included in the new
Presentation Library. Inclusion of the digital PL (DAI file) in future editions of the
Presentation Library will be optional.
- Funding of the work of the WG related to the maintenance of the colour and symbol
specifications (a core IHO responsibility). C&S budget requests will be submitted to the IHB
based on the work programme. Cost of the new Presentation Library will be 1500 € for new
comers, 500 € as update and free to non-HO C&SMWG attendees.
- Interaction and liaison with other CHRIS WGs, e.g. CSPCWG or TSMAD, with IHO-IEC
HGMIO, and with IEC/TC80/WG13.
