White Paper - Hydrography and Digital Technology: Actively Participating in the Development of the New S-100 Model
The S-100 model marks a major advancement in digital hydrography. By introducing a broader diversity of data, including real-time information such as tides, surface currents, and water heights, the S-100 model offers increased precision and interoperability for maritime navigation.
This White Paper, written by marine geomatics experts at Geomod, explores the challenges and opportunities related to this new standard, which will gradually replace the S-57 standard. The document also addresses the issues surrounding the transition to this standard, particularly regarding maritime safety and the efforts made to validate the new data formats.
This technical document is a valuable resource for better understanding the evolution of digital marine cartography systems and the benefits they will bring to the entire maritime community.
