4. Why updating the Guidelines ?  Experiences and lessons learned on implementation of RIS services  RIS key technologies developed and formalised –Standards included –Technological developments included –Reference data, RIS index, Hull data were missing  Practical experiences on implementation processes of RIS in 2011 versus research status of RIS in 2004  Omissions and corrections
