[mapserver-users] [Info] S-57 nautical map on MapServer

We did similar work for IENC Data (inland water)  in Germany. Have a look at

http://wsvmapserv.wsv.bund.de/wms_ienc?REQUEST=GetCapabilities&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1

We're reading S-57 .000 files direct through the OGR Library as Jeff
suggested. We also used scripts for generating tile indexes the way we
needed them and for generating symbols from the S-52 Standard. Also we
used a php wrapper script for generating a S-52 like pick report on
GetFeatureInfo.

Feel free to contact me if you like more details.

Best regards,
Oliver

>
> Here is a short description of what I have done.
>
> 1) Conver S-57 (*.000) files into shapefiles by using ogr2ogr.
>    An S-57 file is split into several shapefiles;
>    Each shapefile contains single one layer of single geometry type.
>
>    For example:
>    src.000 ------ DEPARE ------> Area    (a shapefile)
>                  +                  +--> Line     (a shapefile)
>                  |
>                  +-- (other layer)  .........................    (a
> shapefile)
>
>   Here is the ogr2ogr commands
>   > ogr2ogr -skipfailure -append -f "ESRI Shapefile" output/DEPARE/A
> src.000 -nlt POLYGON DEPARE
>   > ogr2ogr -skipfailure -append -f "ESRI Shapefile" output/DEPARE/L
> src.000 -nlt LINESTRING DEPARE
>
>   The SOUNDG layer must be converted with special care.
>  > export OGR_S57_OPTIONS="SPLIT_MULTIPOINT=ON,ADD_SOUNDG_DEPTH=ON"
>  > ogr2ogr -skipfailure -append -f "ESRI Shapefile" output/SOUNDG/P src.000
> -nlt POINT SOUNDG
>
> 2) Construct mapfile
>  2.1) Generally there are (at least) two things to take care: scale and
> layer priority.
>
>         S-57 data may have different scale value and overlap with each
> other.
>         Moreover, a S-57 data may not have a rectangle extent.
>
>         For those reasons, I construct mapfile with the following manner:
>         Sort layers after scale value, then layer priority.
>         Group them if necessary.
