Aha, it's for Navigational/Hydrographic data. :)

Bryce,
This format is quit complex and define hierarchical way of representing=

data
of any kind.

Data are divided in Record list
Each record are subdivised in Field
Each field in SubField

This is for example the base format for all the IHO data representation=
 and
especially S57 and based on S57, ENC set. With S57 you defin a total se=
t of
spatial topology (based on graph approach with node, edge, faces...) an=
d
feature attached to this topology. This is typically the format of
Navigational Chart (if you want to be able to display navigational or
Hydrographic data you MUST understand the Iso8211 format.
