GeoSciML v3.0 – the CGI-IUGS geoscience data model
What is GeoSciML?
GeoSciML is an XML-based data standard for exchange of geoscience information
• UML data model• XML markup language
What is GeoSciML?
• originally intended to exchange information found on a typical geological map
• now extended to cover a wider range of descriptive and analytical geoscience information
• supports complex Web Feature Services (WFS)
• GeoSciML-Portrayal – WMS and SF WFS
• Geography Markup Language (GML v3.2)
• Observations and Measurements (O&M v2.0)
• Sensor Web Enablement (SWE Common v2.0)
What is GeoSciML?
GeoSciML v3.0 uses and extends recently updated Open Geospatial Consortium and ISO standards, including:
Some elements of GeoSciML v2 have been retired in favour of using these existing ISO and OGC standards
• eg, the delivery method for numeric data attributes
