Discussion Points:

1) NACs know their generalArea and locality the best, but perhaps we should establish some guidelines on how to best capture this information? Consider:

a) Simple: See example 1

b) Complex: See example 5

2) Currently buoys are associated to a position, but S-124 could provide the opportunity to link it to its unique buoy identifier (if available) from the administrations AtoN database.

3) The system will link to the appropriate database(s) for the affected paper and/or ENC charts; information reviewed by NACs during the message drafting process.

4) As generated by S-124, the system would use the publicationDate format yyyymmddTxxxxxxZ, where “T” seperates date from time group; and time is expressed with six digits.

5) Currently the symbol “MSI” is envisioned to plot on the lat/long of the buoy, but in this example we can use a TextPlacement to insert the name of the buoy to the right of the location.

6) Here we also see how the NWPreamble and the Navigational WarningFeaturePart(s) are linked to each other by the use of IDs in both parts. For a complex model, refer to Section 3, example 3.

* when useful, additional values for warningHazardType can be used, and this is done by adding an optional instance of the attribute.

Discussion Points:

1) For generalArea is this << Australia. North East Coast. >> (which would necessitate two generalAreas) or << Australia, North East Coast. >> (one generalArea)?

2) For warningHazardType, as the S-124 list is getting extensive, WWNWS should look at streamlining the hierarchy, with key Subjects, such as Aids to Navigation and optional instances, such as lights and fog signals.

a) If no ‘optional instance’ is available on the list, S-124 will permit additional content using the structure: other: xxxx.

areaAffected

Discussion Points:

1) In this example the S-124 develops a polygon using the position and 1nm radius so the position content is unnecessary in the ‘text’ field in the warningInformation section.


14 | P a g e

2) The warningHazardType hierarchy reflects that exploration is underway (hazardous area) and not the fact buoys were established. Hence, “buoys” become the optional instance.

3) The NAC will input a fixedDateRange so this information is no longer required in the ‘text’ area.

4) The cancellation date of this message is 3 hours after the fixedDateRange.

Discussion Points:

1) In order to effectively plot the progression of the navigational warning on ECDIS, the NAC should provide better geometry in terms of a series of waypoints from which an estimated ‘curve’ can be drawn from the port of departure city to the port of arrival.

2) In this case we only have start and end points but ideally the more waypoints provided, the greater the accuracy of the example. This might be rather challenging given wind/current/sea state considerations along this lengthy voyage, but we don’t need precision, just an estimated path. Thus, the NW would plot along the established route.

Discussion Points:

1) In order to effectively plot the progression of the navigational warning on ECDIS, the NAC should be provided better geometry in terms of a series of waypoints from which an estimated ‘curve’ can be drawn from the port of departure city to the port of arrival. This example demonstrates how challenging it will be to encode the waypoints unless NACs are provided clear guidelines. NACs need to start thinking in terms of digitized processes.

2) The addition of the way point text is optional, should the NAC be encouraged to do so as this may make the plotting of very long lines more visually clear for users? Users may have the option to turn off the text anyhow.

3) Would the NAC need to enter a cancellation time given the provided ETA? If so, what duration should the NAC use?

Discussion Points:

1) As this is written, it’s impossible to be correctly encoded under S-124 standards. If the lat/long of the “ southwest pass buoy ” and the “ mile marker 98 ” were provided (or known), a polygon representing the area of oil spill operations could be developed.

2) We can input the entry restricted as a restriction (8).

Discussion Points:

1) As this is written, it’s impossible to be effectively encoded under S-124 standards. The vagueness of the area, “seaward of and in Sunk area” and the lack of a radius/range with the associated lat/long, makes the development of a polygon challenging.

2) S-124 should ideally link to associated publications, i.e. the NOTMAR reference would be inserted into an appropriate source field for references ( xxxx) .

Discussion Points:

1) As this is written, there’s really no possible changes to the actual text area.

2) The NAC would need to be provided appropriate geometry (either lat/longs to develop a polygon

3) In this instance, ‘waterway closure’ was chosen as the optional instance for warningHazardType

even though pilotage issues are discussed.

4) With the use of fixedDateRange, each instance of closing the area is encoded, enabling

visualization of the closing only when it is in effect, and permitting route checking against the

Discussion Points:

1) In this example we’ve demonstrated how complex S-124 coding can become.

2) WWNWS-SC may need to re-assess how the to manage such complex NAVAREA warnings usig S-

124 coding. That is, how much information should one navigational warning message contain? Is it

more effective/efficient to separate content for ease of understanding?

Discussion Points:

1) S-124 can’t effectively manage this content and won’t be able to plot the NW on ECDIS without

the NAC being provided appropriate geometry.

2) For S-124 to work as envisioned, geometry is crucial as without it, the system won’t be able to do

spatial queries or place meaningful symbology.

Discussion Points:

1) This is a complex message and its neither necessary or correct to have the rig name as a

component of the featureName. Using featureName would visualize the rig name anywhere

within the zone.

2) However, textPlacement is required to name the rig location given the required exclusion zone.

3) Note again the generalArea issue previously mentioned.

4) Should exclusion zones be encoded with restrictions, such as entry prohibited?

Discussion Points:

1) In this complex example, S-124 doesn’t need to create any polygon for an exclusion zone (as in the

previous example). As such, we don’t need to add the textPlacement since S-124 can take this

information from the feature name.

2) Should a common encoding rule of such rig lists be created?

Discussion Points:

1) In this complex example, S-124 will delete the previous Rig List (NW) and generate a 500 M berth

polygon around each rig.

2) This model is not including the polygon area “(SOUTHERN NORTH SEA) 51N to 55N” – not sure if

this is relevant in the future vision of S-124. Should the NAC still feel it’s required, then a new area

geometry NW feature part would need to be developed for this unqiue area.

Discussion Points:

1) The current subject list doesn’t contain GPS, only DPGS; perhaps we should have one main

category “GNSS” and can specify the system in the option warningHazardType?

2) This is a global navwarn, so how would this ‘plot’ on the ECDIS screen? By NAVAREA geometry?

Discussion Points:

1) The current warningHazardType list contain LORAN-C, should the have one main type, i.e. “GNSS”

2) For those administrations offering LORAN-C, the NACs should develop polygons for their

respective LORAN-C zones in order for these NWs to effectively plot on ECDIS.

Discussion Points:

1) The geometry is the reported location of the event. Do we need to expand this geometry to

capture the danger zone of potential tsunami?

2) In this example, there is one Tsunami Warning and one Tsunami Advisory? Shouldn’t these be

captured as two unique NavigationalWarningFeatureParts?

Discussion Points:

1) In this example, we are using References and not multiple NavigationalWarningFeaturePart. S-124

can express the required text in the message preamble.

2) This message will not plot on ECDIS; instead, ECDIS will check the NW datasets against the existing

information in the system, cancelling those that are no longer valid and flag those which are

missing.

Discussion Points:

1) Cancellation and in-force bulletin messages do not require a NavigationalWarningFeaturePart.

2) One function of a Navigational Warning is for dataset management (i.e. cancellations and in-force

bulltins).

3) ECDIS will not plot this NW; its reference will be to the NW being cancelled. If plotting is required,

the ECDIS could extract it as a report.

4) ECDIS will simply remove the cancelled NW from the display, but a record of the NW and its

cancellation would be maintained in the system.

5) What is the standard for the date/time to be used in the cancellationDate for a self cancelling

NW?

a codelist maintained under the GI Registry.

To do: NW Metadata, consider S-100 standard

set, which is ENC centric, should a smaller set

of Metadata be proposed. Big motivating

factor is that given the relatively small size of

the regular NW, the current metadata might

make up half the data volume.

To do: add implementation note to product

specification stating that ECDIS (user system)

should be able to filter in-force NWs according

to a date included within periods of time of

the dangers described in NWs.

S100_GF_InformationType

20180212 - Added fixedDateRange with cardinality of 0..*

to permitted multiple intervals of information.

20180214 - split into NW and NM information parts to

remove the graphics option from NW.

20180705 - removed S124

_NavigationalWarningInformationPart as it is no longer

needed given the none geometry option for the S124

_NavigationalWarningFeaturePart. Same change effected

on NtM parts.

20180907 - removed all NtM parts according to decision

at WWNWS10.

20181015 - changed gometry attribute of S124

_FeatureType to 0..* and type to PointCurveSurface.

Added support for no message at hand inforce bulletin.

referenceType renamed into referenceCategory to be

distinct from gml:referenceType.

20190703 - S124_graphic, pictureCaptionOtherLanguage,

pictureInformationOtherLanguage, information removed.

Not needed since NtM part was removed.
