Office of Coast Survey
International
Hydrographic
Organization
• Established 1921 to support safety of
navigation and protection of marine
environment
• Objectives
– Coordination of nat’l hydro offices activities
– Uniformity in nautical charts & documents
– Adoption of reliable & efficient methods of
performing and using hydro surveys
– Development of hydro sciences and
techniques
• 80 maritime “states” are members

Terms of Reference
Marine Spatial Data Infrastructure Working Group
• Identify IHO’s pertinence to be involved in
development of national SDI’s
• Examine technical issues related to ensuring
interoperability within MSDI and with land-based
SDIs
• Identify actions and procedures the IHO should
take to contribute in support of member states
• Inform IHO Member States of benefits of forging
links
Activities
Audit of Member States
• Completed audit of IHO Member States on
establishment of National Marine SDI:
– knowledge and understanding of benefit
– Capability in supporting development
• Self Assessment

SDI Awareness Training Course Template
SDI AWARENESS TRAINING COURSE (TEMPLATE)
Duration: 1 day
Objectives:
By the end of the session the delegate is able to:
 demonstrate basic knowledge and understanding of SDI
 identify and understand the necessary practical steps to engage in SDI
 understand the value and benefit SDI brings to an organization
 identify and understand the costs necessary to ensure successful delivery
2010
Updated Terms of Reference
• Monitor national and international SDI activities
(focus marine)
• Liaise with appropriate groups to discuss efforts
• Identify and recommend possible solutions to
significant technical issues related to
interoperability looking at:
– Datum issues
– S-100 interoperability
• Identify IHO capacity building requirements
Environmental Response
Management Application (ERMA)
Web-based GIS system supporting
environmental response efforts and operations
 developed by NOAA as pilot project in 2008
 expanded for use in Haiti
 full operations for Gulf Oil Spill

Definition
Spatial Data Infrastructure
SDI
• Used to summarize
– activities
– processes
- relationships
- physical entities
that provide for integrated management of
– spatial data
– information, and
– services
• Promotes geospatial data sharing and
facilitates data use
Developed and Developing Nations Compared
[2008 and 2011]
Level 5 – NSDI Policy Published and MSDI Strategy in Place
Level 3 – Policies in Development
Level 1 – No NSDI or MSDI Strategy Exists
Developed and Developing Nations Compared
[2008 and 2011]
Level 5 – Database is part of
NSDI with no replication
elsewhere
Level 4 – Database is complete,
held by theme with metadata,
supporting product outputs
Level 3 – S57 and/or digital
hydro survey data in database,
mutations in multiple locations,
not all data stored with
corresponding metadata
Level 2 – ENC and/or raster
data held only. Paper or filebased storage
Level 1 – Paper format only
Developed and Developing Nations Compared
[2008 and 2011]
Level 5 – ALL data fully available in digital format – searchable,
describable, and downloadable through standardized interface
Level 4 – Digital data available via internet-based methods
(maybe limited user groups), not fully searchable, describable,
and downloadable
Level 3 – Produces and distributes some digital data via selected
off-line media
