S-100 (data model)

The S-100 is a global data standard developed by the International Hydrographic Organization for organizing and sharing spatial information related to maritime navigation, such as charts, sonar, and weather data. It provides a flexible framework that defines how different types of geographic information should be structured, ensuring different systems and organizations can share and interpret maritime data consistently. This standardization enhances safety, efficiency, and coordination for maritime activities by enabling seamless data exchange across various platforms and regions.
