Coordinate Transformation

Easily transform your data to the correct DNC/VMap coordinate framework

Extract, merge and/or transform any part of a dataset in DOM

Data Import

Import existing digital data into DOM from many different vector formats, including:

• VPF
• SHP
• DGN
• E00
• ODBC databases
• text files, etc.

Easy conversion of IHO S-57 ENC's to DNCs

Import and update one or many tiles/coverages directly

Data Integration

Facilitates data integration with existing digital field survey data, as well as with other CARIS software products, e.g. CARIS HIPS and SIPS, Notebook, etc.

Loading of CARIS Standalone HOB files - which can be produced from data in any of the latest CARIS software products, e.g. CARIS HPD, BASE Editor, Notebook, and EASY-ENC.

Derived Products

Derive other products from the same working dataset used in DOM to create electronic charts, including for example digital nautical paper charts, e.g. BSB raster nautical charts, etc.

Digitizing Tools

Tools to digitize any type of new chart feature.

Display Options

Wide range of filter options available to control the display of features.

Apply polygon transparency levels while editing, updating or validating data.

Display TILEREF grid and coordinate annotations

A new function has been added to display the TILEREF grid and coordinate annotations for visualization purposes.

Dissolve VPF tile boundaries on import

When importing multiple DNC® tiles into a single CARIS file, the Dissolve Tile Boundaries option creates a seamless CARIS data file from multiple tiles.

Editing Tools

Full set of geometry and attribute editing tools

Easy to use polygon topology creation, checking and error location tools

Utilities menu allows users to run any CARIS GIS tools program in DOM

Help

Full suite of help information, reference guides, and interactive VPF object and attribute catalogue

View Raster Data

Load raster display as background information, allowing new data capture and validation; includes support for raster charts in BSB and HCRF format, and georeferenced images in GeoTIFF, TIF/TFW, IPV, MrSID etc. formats.

VPF Database Creation

User-friendly wizards to generate new VPF databases and update existing VPF libraries and databases

VPF Object and Data Creation

Auto-create chart feature objects and attributes from any selected data

Auto-generate the LIBREF coverage during use of the Export to VPF and Clean VPF Database wizards

Extensive Validation Tools

Tools to check and clean VPF data without loading into DOM

Object and attribute value verification and notification tools

Wide range of advanced validation tools to check objects according to DNC validation rules

Quality Control

Built in quality control measures to ensure completeness and compliance of the data during production

Tools to detect errors in spatial data, e.g. intersecting lines, duplications, colinear lines, etc.

Scan VPF Validator errors

VPF Validator error logs can be loaded directly and the errors scrolled through interactively for easy identification and repair.

Enhanced VPF support

DOM is enhanced to work with more precise VPF coordinates than required for most standard VPF products. The coordinate precision can range from the standard 7 units of precision (e.g. 0.000003) up to 15 units of precision (e.g. 0.000000000000001).

Object Dictionary

Dictionary builder allows for easy editing of VPF dictionaries for adding user created objects and attributes and the building of entirely new products.

Tailor object dictionary to create user defined product specifications such as VMap specifications as they become available.

Quality Assurance Checks

Modify the quality control checks used to validate DNC data in DOM by adding organization- specific object and attribute checks.

Utilities Menu

Use a simple text-based procedure to create new menu entries to run batch processes.

VPF table header and data editors

The Table Header tool allows for the creation of a new VPF table and/or editing of an existing VPF table header.

The Data Editor tool enables easy viewing, updating and additions to VPF tables.
