Final Report of the National Defense Industrial Association Database Standardization Committee
Abstract
The committee began their efforts by outlining the following objectives, which, when thoroughly investigated, would lead to a briefing to government and a final report which would be available to government and industry through NDIA. The objectives selected were to: (1) Identify data sources. (2) Recommend standards and processes. (3) Review data sharing methods. (4) Identify advantages and disadvantages (of sharing data). (5) Recommend ways to avoid misuse. (6) Prioritize models needing databases. (7) Propose an implementation plan. Through the exploration of the objectives, a major void in the database support to the study process was identified. Databases were not maintained and updated for reuse, as was true for many of the major models. It was found that the Air Force Pedigree process satisfied the requirement for coherent, consistent, documented data. The study concluded it would be cost effective for the Government to adopt a process to develop and maintain databases with known pedigree to support a preferred set of standardized models.
