Abstract
World Miscellaneous Transportation Lines is a line theme representing various transportation structures worldwide. Objects in this layer may have FACC (Feature and Attribute Coding Catalogue) Codes of AQ010, defines as "Aerial Cableway Lines/Ski Lift Lines", or BB190, defined as "Pier/Wharf/Quay." This dataset is part of the Vector Map Level 0 database. The Vector Map (VMap) Level 0 database represents the third edition of the Digital Chart of the World. VMap Level 0 is a comprehensive 1:1,000,000 scale vector 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 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.
Purpose
The VMap Level 0 is a general purpose global database designed to support designed to support Geographic Information Systems applications. Geographic Information Systems applications.
Supplemental Information
The features within this miscellaneous transportation line feature class - aerial cableway lines/ski lift lines (AQ010) and piers/wharfs/quays (BB190) - were extracted from the cultural landmark layer of Digital Chart of the World, edition1, July 1992. Neither of these features carries any additional attribute information.

Data Quality Information
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.
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 horizontal 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.
