Multiscale ENC Data Management on Eastern Coast of the Adriatic Sea as an Archipelagic Sea Area

According to the UN convention, the Adriatic Sea belongs to Archipelagic Seas. This paper briefly outlines characteristics of the Adriatic Sea as an archipelagic sea and its coverage with paper charts and ENCs. The production of Electronic Navigational Charts (ENC) at the Hydrographic Institute of the Republic of Croatia (HIRC) started in 2001. Production of ENCs is based on the theory of multiscale data management. Multiple representation of ENC data is controlled by SCAMIN attributes. This paper presents a solution to the problem of multiscale data management as a part of ENC data production for archipelagic sea areas, using the Adriatic Sea as an example. This study is based on a long-standing experience in the production of paper charts and recently ENC production for eastern coast of the Adriatic Sea, which is supposed to be the second largest arhipelagic area in the Mediterranean. A new method of using SCAMIN attributes for archipelagic seas was proposed, based on Canadian method.
