FOREWORD
The "IHO ECDIS Presentation Library", together with the "Colour & Symbol Specifications
for ECDIS", form Appendix 2 to the IHO S52 "Specifications for chart content and Display for
ECDIS".
The original 1st Edition of the Presentation Library was developed in 1992 by SevenCs
GmbH, Hamburg, on behalf of the Colours and Symbols Working Group of the International
Hydrographic Organization, under contract to the Canadian Hydrographic Service and the
Royal Australian Navy Hydrographic Service, with funding shared by the United States
Coast Guard and the Canadian Coast Guard.
The overall structure of the Presentation Library has changed little since 1992, but many
changes in detail have been made and this Edition 3.3 marks a considerable change in
format. The Symbol Library is now specified in hard-copy format with the offsets of the pivot
point specified explicitly, a major development carried out by Hochschule Wismar,
Fachbereich Seefahrt Warnemünde, funded by the BSH. The entire Presentation Library is
now published in man-readable form as a word-processed file on a CD-ROM, which carries
a subscription charge for each new edition to help to cover maintenance costs, and this will
become the authoritative "official" version. The digital version will also be issued for those
who prefer it, but its continued existence depends on a voluntary provider, in this case
Furuno-Navintra. ECDIS Chart 1, which will be issued with the Presentation Library as a
graphic file will be also available in the pseudo-S57 format for edition 3.4 making use of the
the SYMINS attribute of the generic object NEWOBJ introduced by the Supplement No.1 to
S-57, Edition 3.1.1
Edition 3.4 brings into effect all the deferred amendments issued since Edition 3.3. A
Change Control History for this period is given below.
Quotations from these specifications may be used in the manufacturer’s manuals. The
source should be acknowledged.
