Shisong Li · 2003
Standardization is one of important contents in the field of surveying and mapping, however, the research literature about it is very little. Most of surveyors and cartographers have not known how many standards that have been established there were by now. So we did special study on this content, which aim is to increase people’s understanding on Standardization of Hydrographic Survey and Charting, and to accelerate its establishing and implementing. The concept of Standardization of Hydrographic Surveying and Charting will be given in this paper, that is, it is an uniform technology standard that was established to organize, implement the practice of Hydrographic Surveying and Charting, and is relation to the quality and using of Hydrographic Surveying and Charting products. Its aim is to meet the need of developing of Hydrographic Surveying and Charting and multi-user’s applications. It can be divided into three categories: International Standard, National Standard and Professional Standard. In this paper, the developing process and meaning of Standardization of Hydrographic Surveying and Charting will be expounded; the primary documents and contents of International Standard of Hydrographic Survey and Charting will be generalized; developing trend of concretion, variety and globalization of Standard of Hydrographic Surveying and Charting will be considered, countermeasure that should be adopted in establishing and using the standardization documents and contents in the field of Hydrographic Surveying and Charting will be discussed.
