TECHNICAL PAPER SEDRIS - 2003 - 2 Standardized Coverages in Terrain Data Sets Dr. Paul A. Birkel The MITRE Corporation 7515 Colshire Drive (M/S H505) McLean, VA, 22102-7508 pbirkel@mitre.org Keywords: Coverages, Digital Terrain Data, GIS, NIMA, SEDRIS, VPF ABSTRACT: Terrain data sets may consist of many hundreds of types of features and thousands of types of associated attributes. Ensuring that the resulting feature-attribute combinations are both correct and consistent can be difficult, and designing an application to make best use of such complicated data sets is usually challenging. The apparent complexity, and the resulting challenge to application developers, can sometimes be reduced by organizing features into sets that share common structure, function, collection criteria, or application use. Such sets are commonly termed coverages (or themes). This paper describes the use of coverages to structure terrain data sets developed to support US Department of Defense systems. These data sets are usually developed by the National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA), but other terrain data providers use similar, or identical, coverage-based solutions. Introduction Terrain data sets are complex collections of geographic information characterized in terms of features with associated attributes (and their specific domain values). Common terrain data sets in US Department of Defense systems consist of hundreds of types of features and thousands of types of associated attributes. In general, the design of terrain data sets serves a specific, or suite of specific, missions/applications. Many such applications depend on automated analysis and use of terrain data, ultimately as part of a decision-support process in which computer-based analysis is employed. Automated systems are easiest to design, implement, and operate if the data upon which they operate is error-free and well-structured. Consistency in organization (e.g., in a well thought out data mod
