Import S-100 Feature Catalogue (Maritime Tools)

Summary

Imports the contents of an S-100 feature catalogue to 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 Navigational Chart

  • S-128 Catalogue of Nautical Products

  • S-201 Aids to Navigation Information

Usage

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

  • The feature catalogue must be in XML format.

  • Do not use this tool 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 to a geodatabase. If multiple geodatabases of the same S-100 standard are needed, it is recommended that you copy the geodatabase after running this tool.

  • WGS84 is the default coordinate system. A different coordinate system can be specified for localized datasets using the Coordinate System parameter if necessary.

  • For S-101, it is recommended that you use an x,y resolution of 1e-8 decimal degrees and an x,y tolerance of 3.5355339e-8 decimal degrees. You can update these values on the Environments tab of the Geoprocessing pane.

Parameters

Label Explanation Data type

S-100 Feature Catalogue

An .xml file that follows the S-100 Feature Catalogue format as defined by the IHO. It describes the content of a data product and its specifications. The default file location for S-100 catalogue files is <ArcGIS Maritime installation location>\ArcGIS Maritime\Product Files\<version>\S-101\, provided the Maritime product files are installed.

File

Target Workspace

The geodatabase to which the schema will be written.

Workspace

Admin Connection

(Optional)
Legacy:

This parameter is no longer supported. It remains only for the backward compatibility of scripts and models but is not essential to the tool operation.

String

Coordinate System

(Optional)

The coordinate system of the output workspace. The default is WGS84.

Coordinate System

Subtype Mapping File

(Optional)

The subtype mapping .xml file that will be used to specify feature classes that each S-100 feature will be subtyped in. If no value is provided, the created data model will have separate feature classes for each S-100 object type. For S-101, it is recommended that you use the S-101FeatureClassSubtypeMapping.xml file. The default file location is <ArcGIS Maritime installation location>\Product Files\<version>\S-101.

File

Configuration Keyword

(Optional)

The configuration keyword applies to enterprise geodatabases data only. It determines the storage parameters of the database table.

String

Derived output
