Abstract:
The Vector Map (VMap) Level 0 database represents the third
edition of the Digital Chart of the World. The second
edition was a limited release item published 1995 09. The
product is dual named to show its lineage to the original
DCW, published in 1992, while positioning the revised
product within a broader emerging-family of VMap products.
VMap Level 0 is a comprehensive 1:1,000,000 scale vector
basemap of the world. It consists of cartographic,
attribute, and textual data stored on compact disc read
only memory (CD-ROM). The primary source for the database
is the National Imagery and Mapping Agency's (NIMA)
Operational Navigation Chart (ONC) series. This is the
largest scale unclassified map series in existence that
provides consistent, continuous global coverage of
essential basemap features. The database contains more than
1,900 megabytes of vector data and is organized into 10
thematic layers. The data includes major road and rail
networks, major hydrologic drainage systems, major utility
networks (cross-country pipelines and communication lines),
all major airports, elevation contours (1000 foot(ft), with
500ft and 250ft supplemental contours), coastlines,
international boundaries and populated places. The database
can be accessed directly from the four optical CD-ROMs that
store the database or can be transferred to a magnetic media.
Purpose:
The VMap Level 0 is a general purpose global database
designed to support Geographic Information Systems applications.

DATA_QUALITY_INFORMATION
Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
100 percent of attribute codes were reviewed against the
source manuscripts. No formal effort was undertaken to
develop a quantitative attribute accuracy statement.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
All data were found to be topologically correct. No
duplicate features are present. All areas are completely
described as depicted on the source manuscripts. No
undershoots or overshoots are present. All data were
consistently captured using the rules described in the
narrative associated with the Data Quality Table and in the
various feature table narrative files present at the
coverage level within the library.
Completeness_Report:
100 percent of features depicted on the ONC source
materials have been captured. 100 percent of the features
have valid attribute codes assigned to them.
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
The Horizontal Positional Accuracy Value represents overall
accuracy. Source chart-specific accuracies are available as
area feature attributes in the VMap-0 data quality
coverage. The primary accuracy analysis was performed on
one chart only in the prototyping phase of the DCW project.
Horizontal Positional Accuracy is expressed in meters.
Detailed horzontal accuracy figures were developed by
comparing the positions of well-defined points in the
roads, railroads, utility lines, and drainage coverages
against sources of higher accuracy, measuring the offsets,
and expressing differences as a Circular Map Accuracy
figure at a 90% confidence interval. This figure was
independently verified by adding known production errors to
source chart accuracies in a root sum square calculation.
Vertical_Positional_Accuracy:
Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
This figure represents overall accuracy. Source
chart-specific accuracies are available as area feature
attributes in the V-Map 0 data quality coverage.
Vertical Positional Accuracy is expressed in meters.
Vertical accuracy figures were developed by comparing
elevation contour locations on 1:24,000 scale maps to
elevation values at the same location within the digital
database. Some manual interpolation was necessary to
complete this test. The analysis results are expressed as
linear error at a 90% confidence interval.

ENTITY_AND_ATTRIBUTE_INFORMATION
Overview_Description:
Entity_and_Attribute_Overview:
The DCW used a product-specific attribute coding system
that is composed of TYPE and STATUS designators for area,
line, and point features; and LEVEL and SYMBOL designators
for text features. The TYPE attribute specifies what the
feature is, while the STATUS attribute spedcifies the
current condition of the feature. Some features require
both a TYPE and STATUS code to uniquely identify their
characteristics. In order to uniquely identify each
geographic attribute in the DCW, the TYPE and STATUS
attribute code names are preceded by the two letter
coverage abbreviation and a two letter abbreviation for the
type of graphic primitive present. VMap-0 data is attribute
coded in accordanced with Feature and Attribute Coding
Catalog (FACC). The DCW Type/Status codes were mapped into
the FACC coding scheme. A full description of FACC may be
found in Digital Geographic Information Exchange Standard
Edition 1.2, January 1994.
