Educational Sessions

CARIS hosted five concurrent, two-day, optional educational sessions on 22 and 23 November before the conference.

Advanced Bathymetric Data Processing and Production
Instructor: Ottokarl Büchsenschütz-Nothdurft
CARIS Software: HIPS and SIPS
This educational session was designed to get the experienced CARIS HIPS user acquainted with the latest developments included in CARIS HIPS, such as the calculation of a total propagated error, the creation of a BASE surface and the derivation of products thereof.

S-57 ENC, Inland Electronic Navigational Chart (IENC) and Additional Military Layers (AML) Data Production
Instructor: Christian Fellinger
CARIS Software: HOM, HOM AML, DOM and DOM AML
In this workshop participants learned about the complexity of S-57 ENC data production. Among the items considered were included the production workflow, structuring of the data including layering and feature coding schemes, object creation and management, and updating. Also covered was the Introduction to the use of this technology for producing AML.

Hydrographic Production Database and multiple product types
Instructor: Peter Schwarzberg and Stéphane Thériault
CARIS Software: HPD
Participants experienced how both ENC and Paper Charts are produced from one seamless database (using the same data). The session covered initial production of the different product types, including update procedures and exports of updates (and new edition etc.), using the same source data and updates for the different products.

Advanced Bathymetric Data Management
Instructor: Arne Hoof and Andrew Hoggarth
CARIS Software: BEAMS and Bathy DataBASE, Notebook
This session introduced CARIS BEAMS. Whether used as an engineering application to support the decision making process or as a management tool for planning and development, participants learned how BEAMS integrates necessary information into one system providing a centralized tool for port and waterway information management. The features and benefits of BEAMS Web for Internet distribution of the information from BEAMS and other external sources were also explored.

New perspectives were gained in the management and optimization of your bathymetric data. Participants explored procedures for generating bathymetric surfaces from new survey data, managing and generating new objects from the surfaces, then integrating these new objects into a seamless hydrographic object database using CARIS Bathy DataBASE, and showing how CARIS HIPS and CARIS Notebook interact with this technology.

Development of National Maritime Limits and the Application of Article 76
Instructor: Sara Cockburn
CARIS Software: LOTS
This session focused on procedures used for EEZ and Article 76 planning and work. The session demonstrated how various data sources together with geodetic limit and boundary technology can be used to best effect for achieving the most advantageous EEZ legal limits and outer limits of the juridical continental shelf.
