The production system required by Products Branch, Office of Coast Survey, National Ocean Service, NOAA, must have the capability to produce the data in the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) S-57 Edition 3.0 format; be able to integrate source information in various formats and allow for the easy maintenance of the resulting data base(s). This functionality must be accessible through a Graphical User Interface (GUI). Furthermore, to facilitate implementation and minimize operator training time, the software must provide this functionality in a consistent manner across all functions. In order to support the simple export of S-57 data, the data base should bestructured using the S-57 data model and have full support for link-explicit-node topology. As topology is a key feature of S-57 format data, topology must be maintained on-the-fly to ensure that any edits to the data base do not corrupt the topology of the data. In order to meet future production requirements, the system also must have the capability to store raster data inthe same data base. This raster data must be fully editable with tools provided by the production system. The system must allow simultaneous display of both raster and vector data during database creation and maintenance tasks. Total overall contract period of performance is anticipated to be 30 months.
