Often, when we think of geographic information, we overlook how fundamental the data <\/em> from our seas and oceans are.<\/em><\/a>. Organisations such as the Instituto Hidrogr\u00e1fico de la Marina (IHM) are constantly working to ensure that these are always optimal and useful. To achieve this, we have worked closely with them. We discuss all of this below.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

For any environment and sector, good data management is essential to improve the usability of geographic information. In fact, tasks such as inventorying such data, classifying it, documenting it and making it easy for the user to find it are almost as important as capturing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Instituto Hidrogr\u00e1fico de la Marina (IHM) is no exception, which is why it required the services of Geograma<\/a>  to improve the management and governance of your data. We tell you more about the relevance of this institution, its relationship with geolocated information and Geograma’s contribution to its operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The IHM and geographic data<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Among the main objectives of this institution are to ensure the safety of navigation, the production of cartographic charts of the seas and to contribute to nautical science. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, recently during a visit to its headquarters, the Minister of Defence, Margarita Robles, stated that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Thanks to the immense and professional cartographic and other work carried out here, a vital objective is achieved for Spain and the world, the safety of navigation, so important in difficult times such as these, thereby contributing to strengthening security and peace in navigation and the seas.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The IHM came into being in 1943 because of the need for an institution to coordinate hydrographic work and cartographic production. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among its main tasks, they are found in  Law 7\/1986,<\/a> which  regulates the cartographic production of the State, and are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
