This step is optional. There is no need to run these tests for your ENC datasets to comply with S-58 Edition 7.0. However, these tests could be used if you consider it necessary or if you wish to execute any custom written organization-specific checks.
General S-57 tests
If desired, run general S-57 tests (that is, non-S-58 tests) to ensure that the ENC is as correct and complete as possible.
These tests are in the Customized QC Tests list.
1. Run these Customized QC Tests individually or together:
• ENC Master Features to Conflate
• General ENC Metadata Tests
• General S-57 Feature Tests
• General S-57 Soundings Tests
• General S-57 Spatial Relationship Tests
2. Review the validation report.
If any issues are reported, correct them, then repeat these checks until no issues remain.
S-58 7.0 Level 1-7 customized QC tests
If required, check all issues tested by S-58 7.0 Level 1-7 Customized QC Tests.
It is no longer necessary to execute the seven sets of related S-58 customized QC tests – these test are now executed by the S-58 Critical Error, S-58 Error and S‑58 Warnings tests. |
1. Select and execute these individually or together:
• S-58 7.0 Level 1 Feature Tests
• S-58 7.0 Level 2 Spatial Tests
• S-58 7.0 Level 3 Spatial Relationships
• S-58 7.0 Level 4 Feature Relationships
• S-58 7.0 Level 5 Metadata (General)
• S-58 7.0 Level 6 Product Metadata
• S-58 7.0 Level 7 Catalogue Tests
2. Review the validation report.
If any issues are reported, correct them, then repeat the tests until no issues remain.
Organization-specific customized QC tests
If applicable, run your own customized organization-specific QC tests:
1. Select and run your tests individually or together.
2. Review the validation report.
If any issues are reported, correct them, then repeat the tests until no issues remain.
Now re-check all aspects of the ENC:
• It is not expected that edits made in Step 3 will introduce new issues, but it is best to confirm it by re-running all tests from step 1 on.
• It is essential that the S-58 Critical Errors test passes.
• Some S-58 errors and warnings can be ignored.
