ArcGIS Maritime provides data models for the transfer, conversion, and production of hydrographic data. A data model is a database schema that allows the organization of all data types in the geodatabase. Geodatabase topology, which enforces the data integrity of products at a specific scale, is not included within the data models. You have the option to add a topology to a database, provided the ArcGIS Maritime product files are installed.
Create a geodatabase
ArcGIS Maritime editing and geoprocessing tools require that the target workspace contains a maritime schema. The default file location for the schemas for the various maritime data models is <installation_location>\Users\Public\Documents\ArcGIS Maritime\Product Files\<version>\Schemas, provided the ArcGIS Maritime product files are installed. S-57 data models are provided as XML workspace documents, therefore the create geodatabase tools are recommended to generate the schema. An S-100 schema is generated from an XML Feature Catalogue document using the Import S-100 Feature Catalogue tool.
Data models
The models included in ArcGIS Maritime are for hydrographic data storage of the following:
- Electronic Navigational Chart (S-57 ENC)
- Inland Electronic Navigational Chart (S-57 IENC)
- Bathymetric Inland Electronic Navigational Chart (S-57 bIENC)
- Electronic Navigational Chart (S-101 ENC)
Electronic Navigational Chart (S-57 ENC)
The ENC data model supports six scales: Berthing, Harbor, Approach, Coastal, General, and Overview. All S-57 objects are available in all six scales; therefore, there is only one ENC data model. The ENC data model contains the Nautical feature dataset, stand-alone support feature classes, and support tables.
Inland Electronic Navigational Chart (S-57 IENC)
The IENC data model supports ten scales: Berthing, Harbor, Approach, Coastal, General, Overview, River, River Harbor, River Berthing, and Overlay. All inland S-57 objects are available in all ten scales; therefore, there is only one IENC data model. The IENC data model contains the Nautical feature dataset, stand-alone support feature classes, and support tables.
Bathymetric Inland Electronic Navigational Chart (S-57 bIENC)
The bIENC data model supports nine scales: Berthing, Harbor, Approach, Coastal, General, Overview, River, River Harbor, and River Berthing. All bathymetric inland S-57 objects are available in all nine scales; therefore, there is only one bIENC data model. The bIENC data model contains the Nautical feature dataset, stand-alone support feature classes, and support tables.
Electronic Navigational Chart (S-101 ENC)
The S-101 ENC data model is available as a Feature Catalogue document that supports storing data used in S-101 products. All objects are available in all scales and there is no topology defined; therefore, there is only one S-101 ENC data model. The S-101 ENC data model contains the S-101 feature dataset, stand-alone support feature classes, and support tables.
