S-100 Universal Hydrographic Data Model

The S-100 Universal Hydrographic Data Model is an international framework used for managing and sharing maritime data. It provides a standardized way to represent various types of hydrographic information, such as bathymetry (underwater topography), navigation routes, and coastal features. By using the S-100 model, different organizations and countries can exchange and integrate their nautical data more easily, ensuring safer and more efficient navigation. This model supports modern technologies like digital charts and maritime geospatial services, enhancing our understanding and safety in marine environments.
