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

RE : RE : Geotools GPS Features /
Positioning
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 set of
spatial topology (based on graph approach with node, edge, faces...) and
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.
