Recommendations on DMA's (Defense Mapping Agency) Standard Linear Format

Abstract

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.
