Geological Map Data
How will the data delivered by OneGeology be
organized and formatted ?
1. Image format :
• Raster images
• paper map scans
2. Vector Format:
• Geological units : polygons & attributes
• Faults : vectors/lines & attributes
• locations : points & attributes

Standards/Technology
Formats, models, systems, projections, hardware,
software, etc ...?
1. The technology is available.
standard-based, open vs. commercial
2. Standards are essential for understanding &
interoperability
1. Geoscience standards: Age?, Lithology?,
Stratigraphy?
2. Data model < = > Conceptual Geology model
3. Exchange Formats: OGC, GML, GeoSciML?
4. Online access: WMS, WFS, WCS, etc.
5. Terminology : multiple languages?

Slide 21
“Schematic interoperability” means:
Data in a common data format and structure without
harmonizing the content and interpretation between
territories.
•
This approach avoids the requirement to agree upon
a single interpretation and legend and will allow
delivery of geological coverage for any area of the
world.
•
However: OneGeology will likely contain national
"boundary faults" caused by data not being
harmonized.
