GML Application Schema - Package Overview

Package Name Package Description
GeoSciML-Core The GeoSciML-Core schema specifies a set of feature-types describing core geoscience information, including geologic units, structures, earth materials, relations between geologic features, and spatial geometries that represent geologic features on maps.
GeoSciML-Core/GeologicFeature The GeoSciML GeologicFeature package contains the root Feature classes MappedFeature and GeologicFeature.

GeologicFeature represents a conceptual feature that is hypothesized to exist coherently in the world. Specializated geologic features are contained in other packages.
GeoSciML-Core/GeologicRelation The GeoSciML GeologicRelation package contains the root relation class.

Geologic Relations are typed, directed associations between geologic objects. Represents any of a wide variety of relationships that can exist between two or more Features or other entities. For example, the GeologicRelation "intrudes" is a relationship between an intrusive igneous rock and some host rock. Includes spatial, temporal, sequence, correlation, and parent/child relations.
