OneGeology-Europe WP3 Data Specification ECP-2007-GEO-317001 OneGeology-Europe Scientific/Semantic Data Specification and Dictionaries - Generic Specification for Spatial Geological Data in Europe - Objective of this document This document represents the OneGeology-Europe Scientific Data Specification produced by Work Package 3. In addition it provides guidance on the vocabulary, the terms, their definitions and their relationships, which must be used by all OneGeology-Europe participants. An introductory explanation of the relevant parts of the GeoSciML data model along with guidance on the usage of GeoSciML is also included to provide initial context.

Smith This project is funded under the eContentplus programme* A multilingual Community programme to make digital content in Europe more accessible, more usable and exploitable --------------------------------------- *OJL 79, 24.03.2005, p.1 02.09.2010 Version 2.0 1/137 OneGeology-Europe WP3 Data Specification Executive Summary OneGeology Europe (1G-E) is delivering a web accessible, semantically and technically interoperable geological dataset, with progress towards harmonisation, for the whole of Europe at 1:1 million scale. This is based on the individual geological datasets held by each geological survey in Europe, and which may differ considerably with respect to their contents, description and geometry. To make these data interoperable is a considerable task and 1G-E Work Package 3 (WP3) is delivering the essential basis for that endeavour: the 1G-E Data Specification. This document presents in detail the classifications, definitions, terms and Uniform Resource Names (URN) of the 1G-E Geology Data Specification, which are based on existing standards as far as possible. In addition it explains their use and encoding in GeoSciML. This specification will be the basis for each geological survey participating in 1G-E to describe the geology of their country within the project. It is only possible to achieve semantic interoperability and harmonisation of the data by using this common vocabulary. This specification will also form one of the foundations and inputs for the future INSPIRE Geology Data Specification. 02.09.2010 Version 2.0 2/137 OneGeology-Europe WP3 Data Specification Table of Contents Executive Summary................................................................................................................................. 2 1.
