The review of hydrographic and cartographic data sets is still too often based on tedious and error-prone manual actions; however, these same characteristics make the work suitable for automation. As such, a software suite of task-specific solutions was developed to support the reviewer. The specific application of these tools to NOAA Coast Survey specifications as a case study highlighted improved quality, timeliness, and user confidence in the reviewed data, and provided a training resource for new personnel. Finally, the tools drove the algorithmic interpretation of agency specifications that can establish the foundation for a fully automated workflow.
