-An '''Electronic Chart Display and Information System''' ("ECDIS") is a geographic information system used for nautical navigation that complies with [[International Maritime Organization]] (IMO) regulations as an alternative to paper [[nautical chart]]s. IMO refers to similar systems not meeting the regulations as [[electronic chart system]]s (ECSs).<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.iho.int/srv1/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=332&Itemid=408 |title=Introduction to Electronic Chart Systems and ECDIS |accessdate=2010-07-13 |publisher=International Hydrographic Organization}} {{Dead link|date=October 2010|bot=H3llBot}}</ref>
-An ECDIS system displays the information from [[electronic navigational chart]]s (ENC) or Digital Nautical Charts (DNC) and integrates position information from position, heading and speed through water reference systems and optionally other navigational sensors. Other sensors which could interface with an ECDIS are [[radar]], [[Navtex]], [[Automatic Identification System]]s (AIS), and [[Echo Sounder|depth sounders]].
-== Application ==
-ECDIS provides continuous position and navigational safety information. The system generates audible and/or visual alarms when the vessel is in proximity to navigational hazards.
-== Electronic chart data ==
-The two most widely used types of electronic chart data are listed below.
-===Electronic Navigational Charts ("ENCs") charts===
-[[Electronic Navigational Chart|ENC]]s are [[Vector graphics|vector]] charts that conform to the requirements for the chart databases for ECDIS, with standardized content, structure and format, issued for use with ECDIS on the authority of government authorized hydrographic offices. ENCs are vector charts that also conform to [[International Hydrographic Organization]] (IHO) specifications stated in IHO Publication S-57.<ref>{{cite web | title=S-57 IHO Transfer standard for Digital Hydrographic Data | work=International Hydrographic Organization | url=http://www.iho-ohi.net/iho_pubs/IHO_Download.htm#special | accessdate=2010-07-13}}</ref>
-ENCs contain all the chart information necessary for safe navigation, and may contain supplementary information in addition to that contained in the paper chart. Systems using ENC charts can be programmed to give warning of impending danger in relation to the vessel's position and movement. ECDIS systems must be certified according to IMO regulations.
-===Raster Navigational Charts ("RNCs")===
-Raster Navigational Charts ([[Raster Navigational Charts (NOAA)|RNCs]]) are [[raster graphics]] charts that conform to IHOS-61 and are produced by converting paper charts to digital image by scanner. The image is similar to digital camera pictures, which could be zoomed in for more detailed information as it does in ENCs.<ref>{{cite web | title=S-61 Product Specification for RNC | work=International Hydrographic Organization | url=http://www.iho-ohi.net/iho_pubs/IHO_Download.htm#special | accessdate=2010-07-13}}</ref> IMO Resolution MSC.86(70) permits ECDIS equipment to operate in a Raster Chart Display System (RCDS) mode in the absence of ENC.<ref>{{cite web | title=Maritime Safety Committee – 70th session: 7–11 December 1998 | work=International Maritime Organization | url=http://www.imo.org/Newsroom/mainframe.asp?topic_id=110&doc_id=347 | accessdate=2007-09-01}}</ref>
-==Regulations==
-ECDIS (as defined by IHO Publications S-57 and S-52)<ref>{{cite web|title=S-52 Specifications for Chart content and display aspects of ECDIS |work=International Hydrographic Organization |url=http://www.iho-ohi.net/iho_pubs/IHO_Download.htm#special |accessdate=2010-07-13 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20111008191450/http://www.iho-ohi.net/iho_pubs/IHO_Download.htm |archivedate=8 October 2011 }}</ref> is an approved marine navigational chart and information system, which is accepted as complying with the conventional paper charts required by Regulation V/19 of the 1974 IMO SOLAS Convention.<ref>{{cite web | title=International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), 1974 | work=International Maritime Organization | url=http://www.imo.org/Conventions/mainframe.asp?topic_id=250 | accessdate=2007-09-01 }}{{dead link|date=June 2016|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}</ref> as amended. The performance requirements for ECDIS are defined by IMO and the consequent test standards have been developed by the [[International Electrotechnical Commission]] (IEC) in International Standard IEC 61174.<ref>{{cite web | title=Maritime navigation and radiocommunication equipment and systems – Electronic chart display and information system (ECDIS) – Operational and performance requirements, methods of testing and required test results | work=International Electrotechnical Commission | url=http://webstore.iec.ch/webstore/webstore.nsf/ArtNum_PK/41908!opendocument | accessdate=2007-09-01}}</ref>
-In the future, the ENC will be part of a product specification family which is based on the "IHO Universal Hydrographic Data Model", known as S-100. The product specification number S-101 has been assigned to the ENC.<ref>http://www.iho.int/iho_pubs/IHO_Download.htm</ref>
