Narrative:
Comparing fdc notams between our dispatch monitor and wsi I found instances where notams were in our system but no longer valid in wsi. I also found instances where notams were in wsi that were missing in our system. Here are some examples found today. I had to manually delete the following notams that were no longer in wsi but still in our software: fdc 4/0889 cmh IAP port columbus international columbus oh. ILS or localizer runway 28L amdt 29... ILS or localizer runway 28R amdt 4... ILS or localizer runway 10L amdt 19... ILS or localizer runway 10R amdt 9A...

Alternate minimums na; top VORTAC unmonitored.the automation that adds/deletes notams in our system does not seem to be working. To provide [relevant coverage] the system could be fixed or at the very least dispatchers could be notified that it is not working and a procedure put in place to make sure that the notams in our weather packet are complete and valid.
