Dear Roy,<br>
<br>
Concerning SeaDataNet, here are some questions :<br>
- Is this change (C16 to C19) related to the new IHO policy which
delegates to national representatives the naming<br>
of the local sea areas (still under discussion?)<br>
- Is the high level of C19 the same than C16 (is C16 included as a
whole in C19)?<br>
- Will a mapping between C16 and C19 be provided?<br>
- Is a national language support planned (particularly for high
resolution areas, Manche and English Channel for example)?<br>
- Is there a maximum length of the code, and the name?<br>
<br>
If we adapt this list for SeaDatanet there are consequences on :<br>
+ Mikado, NEMO, the XML schemas<br>
<br>
Best regards<br>
<br>
Michèle<br>

<div>Dear All,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Some life at last on planet SeaVoX!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The first stage of the Sea Area thesaurus project is now done
with the XML publication of an interlinked set of terms at <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://vocab.ndg.nerc.ac.uk/list/C191/current"><font
color="#0000ff"><u>http://vocab.ndg.nerc.ac.uk/list/C191/current</u></font></a>.
A formatted version of the terms (but not their linkages) may be found
as the C191 list at
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://seadatanet.maris2.nl/v_bodc_vocab/welcome.aspx">http://seadatanet.maris2.nl/v_bodc_vocab/welcome.aspx</a></div>
<div> </div>
<div>The next job is to obtain suitable public domain polygon
co-ordinates corresponding to the terms and arrange for them to be
accessible via WFS. There are a number of potential data sources,
including the 1953 S23 co-ordinates held at BODC, data served
from the VLIZ gazetteer. URLs to WFS-accessible polygons will be
included as concept definitions as they become available. An
interesting test of OGC interoperability might be to have these served
from multiple sources!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>A meeting is planned at BODC around 14-15 May to identify
additional sources of high resolution data for the C19 regions in the
vicinity of the UK together with a set of finer-grained sub-regions
for UK waters that would be added to the thesaurus.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>One issue for SeaDataNet colleagues on the list to consider is
whether we should consider replacing C16 by C19. If so, when and how?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Cheers, Roy.</div>
