The report went on to state: Under present plans, the Defense Mapping Agency will bear about 25 percent of the cost of data capture, which will support part of the digitization and attribution of 475 charts covering Navy home ports over a period of approximately five years. The present committee has conducted an independent analysis of the parameters associated with database loading with the following set of assumptions: · assume that digitization of the data in the NIDB would be conducted from paper charts by contractors assume that loading of the NIDB would take advantage of ongoing digitization of Digital Nautical Chart data at the Defense Mapping Agency (DMA)

... Navy home ports; that data would need to be translated into the internal format of the NIDB. For the remainder of the data, NOAA can either specify that contractors deliver the additional data in VPF format by using DMA's established processes for verifying data and creating charts from the Digital Nautical Chart database or else by specifying a separate format (perhaps S-57~.
