Import S-100 Feature Catalogue (Maritime)

Available with Maritime Charting license.

Summary

Imports the contents of an S-100 feature catalogue into an existing geodatabase. A feature catalogue is an XML document that describes the content of a data product.

Examples of S-100 data products include the following:

• S-101 Electronic Navigation Chart
• S-111 Surface Currents

Usage

• The Target Workspace must already exist and be either a file or an enterprise geodatabase. To create a new, empty geodatabase use the Create File Geodatabase tool.

• The feature catalogue must be in XML format.

• This tool should not be used to update or upgrade a geodatabase that contains existing data or schema.

• This tool is intended for the initial import of an S-100 feature catalogue into a geodatabase. If multiple geodatabases of the same S-100 standard are needed, it is recommended to copy the geodatabase after running this tool.
