Nowadays, the production mode of China Nautical Chart could afford kinds of chart productions such as digital chart and paper chart. However, the producing flows of the two kinds are different: the digital chart is produced on the platform of ARC/INFO, and the paper chart, whose data is gathered out from the database, is produced on the platform of MicroStation. The latter’s producing needs data conversion between different systems and manual disposal. For the sake of optimizing the flow, reducing the processes of chart producing and integrative producing the two kind of chart, we propose to integrative producing the two kind of chart on the platform of ARC/INFO (i.e. integrative producing the two kind of chart by the maintenance of just one type of chart data) based on analyzing the problems existing in chart producing flow nowadays.
