 | The Defense Mapping Agency (DMA) is responsible for collecting and maintaining a correct file of geographic placenames worldwide to support a variety of U.S government activities. All placenames must be documented with an array of data that includes feature type, position, and possibly some feature attributes; all names previously or currently associated with the feature; reference sources used to acquire the names data ; and information concerning the Board on ... |

|
| This report stems from a NORDA evaluation of DMA's prototype World Vector Shoreline(WVS). NORDA personnel evaluated the ease of reading the WVS documentation, understanding the file structure, inputting the data from a tape file into program data structures, and plotting the shoreline vectors. Those who participated in the evaluation were previously inexperienced in using Standard Linear Format(SLF), the file structure of the WVS prototype. |

|
| This report documents the design process of an experimental 1:100,000 topographic map. The map itself comprises Appendix B. The experimental map is designed for ground and air movement and is scaled to fill the gap between DMA's 1:50,000 and 1:250,000 products. A NORDA study elicited the needs of the targeted users through direct questioning and a literature survey (Appendix A). The design concept is pictorial and relies on an alternate ... |

|
| DMA has recognized a need for digital procedures to store, retrieve, and edit geographic names and dates and to prepare names for product generation. DMA's stated goal is a 50-100 million name digital data base with subsystems to capture names, edit and format names data, and prepare names overlays for maps. NORDA began a geonames processing system design study late in FY82. This report summarizes NORDA's study findings. The four ... |
