Geo. Science Markup Language (Geo. Sci. ML) IUGS Commission for the Management and Application of Geoscience Information (CGI) § Design Task Group: § Geo. Sci. ML is a Geography Markup Language (GML) schema for sharing geological information § Testbed Task Group: § Demonstrate Geo. Sci. ML using Web Feature and Web Mapping Services § Also Service Architecture, Use-cases & Requirements, Technical Assistance, and Content Task Groups

Remember: § Service not designed to work with any specific software package (eg ESRI) § Uses open community defined standards (ISO, Open. GIS) § Uses a rich scientific data model (eg Geo. DATA. Vic) § Complex Feature GML 3. 1 § Not “traditional” flat GIS data structures § About exchange of data (not use of data)

USE CASE ONE Get Feature Information § § Display map Query one feature (a geometry) Return attributes in Geo. Sci. ML format Bonus - Return attributes as “pretty” HTML formatted Geo. Sci. ML

USE CASE TWO Geo. Sci. ML Data Download § Display map § Select several features § Return attributes of the selected features as Geo. Sci. ML file for download

USE CASE THREE Thematic Mapping § Reclassify map features based on § Lithology § Geological Age § Essentially produce two thematic maps

OTHER WORK Boreholes (from Testbed 1) § Developed by UK (BGS) and France (BRGM) § Delivery of Boreholes data

OTHER WORK Boreholes – BRGM Client § Display Boreholes points from WFS § Select Borehole § Display borehole attributes as: § Geo. Sci. ML/XMML § “Pretty” HTML based on Geo. Sci. ML § Graphic Log based on Geo. Sci. ML

One service – many uses GML-based data can be …. Rendered into a queryable map … … formatted into a report or …. Condition: community-standard data model/encoding … read and used by any WFS/GML enabled application

DPI Involvement § Geo. Sci. ML Task Groups: § Design (Bruce Simons – Chair) § Testing (Alistair Ritchie) § Content (Linda Bibby) § Geo. DATA. Vic: § Developing a rich geological information system § Gold Undercover Initiative § Infrastructure § Web Service tools
