This guide is intended for those users who need to understand or customize CARIS support files. It will explain the structure and syntax of the CARIS support files.
These files can be modified to meet your needs or you can create your own, but the customized files must follow the same structure and use the same syntax as the files described here.
Since standards, such as S-57 or S-100, are quite complex, no attempt is made to provide an overview of these standards. The guide also does not include detailed information on the Extensible Markup Language (XML) syntax or structure.
