CONTENT AND STRUCTURE OF THE FILE:
A SUMMARY
The Object Data File (ODF) is a computerized file that enumerates,
categorizes and describes foreign objects, equipment, weapons and weapons
systems of intelligence interest. The information on objects, derived
primarily from community-wide imagery exploitation, is stored on-line at
the National Photographic Interpretation Center (NPIC) in the UNIVAC 494
computer system. The file is also available to community users on the
Community On-line Intelligence Systems (COINS).
The ODF is a part of the National Base of Image-Derived Information
(NBIDI) and NPIC is responsible for its maintenance. Within NPIC, the
ODF coordinator (Information Branch/Reference Services Division/Produc-
tion Services Group) is responsible for its day-to-day operation and for
ensuring compliance with community requirements.
The file contains several thousand objects. The "Object Target List"
(an extract of the ODF) has been published semi-annually since 1969.
In the ODF all information about one object is stored on one record.
Each record is composed of four major sectors, which contain severa=l
fields and items within fields.
Each object included in the ODF is assigned an object target number
which uniquely identifies it. Other information found in the ODF and
used in the data blocks in basic reports on objects include authorized
and alternate designators (names), a short description, producer and user
countries, and a five-digit hierarchical object classification code.
The substantive information on individual objects in the file in-
cludes a listing of related reports and a detailed free-text description
of the object. Codes for the nominating agency, National Tasking Plan
responsibility, and the security classification are also included.

 Approved For Release 2003/1 2S' :R'AA-RDP78B04560A007500010012-0
In order to be included in the ODF, objects must pass through a
nomination and approval process. Nominations from the community are
submitted directly to the ODF coordinator or through the office of the
chairman, EXSUBCOM/COMIREX and then to the coordinator. These additions,
changes, or deletions are then reviewed by the ODF Review Panel which is
composed of representatives from the intelligence community. Appropriate
action is taken on these nominations according to panel recommendations.
New object target numbers may be obtained from the office of the file
coordinator.
NPIC COMPUTER PROGRAMS
AND THE ODF
The ODF is stored within NPIC's UNIVAC 494 computer system in a
"private file" format and can be queried on NPIC terminals by using BQLT,
a modified version of the Batch Query Language (BQL) computer program.
The FRNLISTER program can also list information from the file by access
through the file reference number (FRN). In addition, the Information
Branch will retrieve data and provide special listings on request.
To retrieve information from the ODF, it is necessary to have a
detailed knowledge of the file's mnemonics, content, and structure.
This information is presented in this manual.
NPIC REPORT FORMAT
TABLES AND FILE QUERIES
When the answer to a query of the (.1DF is a printout of a record, a
report format table has been cited in the query. A report format table
determines two things: what: is to be output and the format of that out-
put. Each table is identified by a mnemonic.
The tables you will use most frequently are:

only, with TOP SECRET security classification
on printout. Includes both TOP SECRET and

limitations are specified in the query.

Other report format tables are also available. For information on
these tables, please contact the Information Branch. Sample NPIC queries
and the retrieved data are presented in Appendix 4.

APPENDIX 5
COINS FORMAT AND SAMPLE QUERIES
The Object Data File became available on COINS in July 1976, on the
NSA TIPS system. The COINS ODF is updated monthly, or more frequently
if needed.
The COINS ODF record format and sample queries appear below. The
user should note that there are significant differences between the
format of the file as it appears in its COINS and NPIC versions, although
the retrievable information remains the same. The retrieval languages
(TILE for COINS and BQL for NPIC) are also significantly different.
Material for this appendix was extracted from TOCOL (Topics-on-COINS-
ON-LINE), prepared by the COINS Project Management Office (Secure Line

ODF OBJECT Identification Numbers
The Object Identification Number is a three part number used to
uniquely identify a particular object. The first part is a two-digit
general category code taken from the functional category codes listed in
Appendix 3. It is stored in the field GCAT. The second part is a five
position code assigned sequentially to objects within a cateorv. In the
PODFT field WCAT, the first position of this code is always a dash. The
third part of the object identification number, ICAT, is a two-digit
suffix which can be used together with the first two parts to identify a
single object or variation of an object within a class or type.
For example:
61 is the functional category for all aircraft
61-0005 is the general object number for Fitter A SU-7
Fighter Jets.
61-000501 is the complete object number for the Fitter A
SU-7BM Fighter Jet.
Sample Queries for COINS
To retrieve all available information on AN-12 aircraft, one of the
following queries may be used:
1. EXTIG/ODF,AA,GCAT(61) and WCAT(-0110).
SORTG/ODF;AUDS.
PUB/ODF;ODFAUDS.
This query will return all records with the Object Identification Number
61-0110, which is assigned to AN-12 (CUB) aircraft, regardless of
variation.
2. EXTIG/ODF,AA;AUDS(CUB).
SORTG/ODF;AUDS.
PUB/ODF;ODFAUDS.

Sample Queries for COINS Continued
In this query, the authorized designator field will be searched for "CUB".
In both of these samples, the output will be in alphabetical order by
authorized designator and will. be printed in the ODFAUDS format.
3. EXTIG/ODF,AA;DESC: (Recoilless).
SORTG/ODF;GCAT,WCAT,ICAT..
PUB/ODF;ODFOBJNUM.
Here we are scanning the description field for the word "Recoilless".
The output will be sorted by the complete object identification number
and printed in the ODFOBJNUM format.
4. EXTIG/ODF,AA;GCAT(52) and WCAT(-0209) and ICAT(03).
PUB/ODF;ODFAUDS.
This query will return all available information in the FIRE CAN A radar,
which has the Object Identification Number 52-020903. Since no SORT
order was specified, the data will appear in FRN order.
5. EXTIG/ODF,AA;CAT1(673) and CAT2(ll).
SORTG/ODF;AUDS.
PUB/ODF;ODFAUDS.
In this query, a search will be made for submarines (general category
673), specifically all ballistic missile nuclear submarines (SSBN -
specific category 11), then printed alphabetically in the authorized
designator format.
