Resumen

Australia has held for some years that Official ENCs should be much more than a simple vectorised facsimile of the paper chart series. National hydrographic offices should draw on the full range of source material available to them to provide the mariner with a 'value added' product. Furthermore, a single va lidated nonconflicting database of source material should be used to generate electronic and paper charts and their associated publications. The resource efficiencies in doing this are obvious. This paper provides an insight to the challenges of producing ENCs from survey source information and is dedicated to the cartographic, development and information management staff of the Australian Hydrographic Service (AHS) who have never stopped trying.
