Introduction
S-100 Geospatial Information Registry contains several registers (online databases) that include items of information that are relevant to those communities developing of S-100 based products and services.
Example registers include:
- Feature Concepts (used to build Feature Catalogues)
- Portrayal Information (used for the development of Portrayal Catalogues)
- Producer Codes - assigned to data producers
- Product Specifications (+ associated resources)

The IHO GI Registry application can be accessed here.
The information contained in the GI Registry can be freely accessed, however items can only be added or changed by the managers of approved Submitting Organizations (owners).
The GI Registry includes an administration and governance framework that determines how the content of the various registers are managed (i.e. how items are included and maintained in the registers). Items are classified into the community domains listed below;
