- GeoSciML
GeoSciML or Geoscience Markup Language is a GML Application Schema that can be used to transfer information about geology, with an emphasis on the "interpreted geology" that is conventionally portrayed on geologic maps. Its feature-type catalogue includes Geologic Unit, Mapped Feature, Earth Material, Geologic Structure, and specializations of these, as well as Borehole and other observational artefacts. It was created to support interoperability of information served from Geologic Surveys and other data custodians. It will be used in the
OneGeology project, an effort to create a geological map of the entire Earth, served live by merging data from many national geological surveys.External links
