Author:	CGI Interoperability Working Group
Version:	2.0.1
Notes:	Simplified view of a GeoSciML GeologicUnit. In GeoSciML terms, this will be an instance of a MappedFeature with key property values from the associated GeologicUnit feature summarised as labels (unconstrained character strings) or arbitrarily selected classifiers to be used for thematic mapping purposes. The latter are the properties suffixed with '_uri' and will contain URIs referring to controlled concepts in published vocabularies.

Notes

<<property>>identifier

URI

1...1

Globally unique identifer. Should have the same value as the corresponding GeoSciML MappedFeature.

Attribute tagged values
Tag	Value
isMetadata	false
sequenceNumber	1

<<property>>name

CharacterString

0...1

Display name for the GeologicalUnit.

Attribute tagged values
Tag	Value
isMetadata	false
sequenceNumber	2

<<property>>description

CharacterString

0...1

Text description of the GeologicUnit, typically taken from an entry on a geological map legend.

Attribute tagged values
Tag	Value
isMetadata	false
sequenceNumber	3

<<property>>geologicUnitType

CharacterString

0...1

Type of GeologicUnit (as defined in GeoSciML).

Attribute tagged values
Tag	Value
isMetadata	false
sequenceNumber	4

<<property>>rank

CharacterString

0...1

Rank of GeologicUnit (as defined in GeoSciML).

Attribute tagged values
Tag	Value
isMetadata	false
sequenceNumber	5

<<property>>lithology

CharacterString

0...1

Text (possibly formatted with formal syntax) description of the GeologicUnit's lithology.

Attribute tagged values
Tag	Value
isMetadata	false
sequenceNumber	6

<<property>>geologicHistory

CharacterString

0...1

Text (possibly formatted with formal syntax) description of the age of the GeologicUnit (where age is a sequence of events and may include process and environment information).

Attribute tagged values
Tag	Value
isMetadata	false
sequenceNumber	7

<<property>>observationMethod

CharacterString

0...1

Metadata snippet indicating how the spatial extent of the feature was determined. ObservationMethod is a convenience property that provides a quick and dirty approach to observation metadata when data are reported using a feature view (as opposed to observation view).

Attribute tagged values
Tag	Value
isMetadata	false
sequenceNumber	8

<<property>>positionalAccuracy

CharacterString

0...1

Quantitative values define the radius of an uncertainty buffer around a mappedFeature (eg: a positionAccuracy of 100 m for a line feature defines a buffer polygon of total width 200 m centred on the line).

Attribute tagged values
Tag	Value
isMetadata	false
sequenceNumber	9

<<property>>source

CharacterString

1...1

Text describing feature-specific details and citations to source materials, and if available providing URLs to reference material and publications describing the geologic feature. This could be a short text synopsis of key information that would also be in the metadata record referenced by metadata_uri.

Attribute tagged values
Tag	Value
isMetadata	false
sequenceNumber	10

<<property>>geologicUnitType_uri

URI

1...1

URI referring to a controlled concept from a vocabulary defining the GeologicUnit types. Mandatory propery - if not value is provided then a URI referring to a conctrolled concept explaining why the value is nil must be provided.

Attribute tagged values
Tag	Value
isMetadata	false
sequenceNumber	11

<<property>>representativeLithology_uri

URI

1...1

URI referring to a controlled concept specifying the characteristic or represntative lithology of the unit. This may be a concept that defines the super-type of all lithology values present within a GeologicUnit or a concept defining the lithology of the dominant CompositionPart (as defined in GeoSciML) of the unit.

Attribute tagged values
Tag	Value
isMetadata	false
sequenceNumber	12

<<property>>representativeAge_uri

URI

1...1

URI referring to a controlled concept specifying the most representative stratigraphic age interval for the GeologicUnit. This will be defined entirely at the discretion of the data provider and may be a single event selected from the geologic feature's geological history or a value summarising the all or part of the feature's history.

Attribute tagged values
Tag	Value
isMetadata	false
sequenceNumber	13

<<property>>representativeOlderAge_uri

URI

1...1

URI referring to a controlled concept specifying the most representative older value in a range of stratigraphic age intervals for the GeologicUnit. This will be defined entirely at the discretion of the data provider and may be a single event selected from the geologic feature's geological history or a value summarising the all or part of the feature's history.

Attribute tagged values
Tag	Value
isMetadata	false
sequenceNumber	14

<<property>>representativeYoungerAge_uri

URI

1...1

URI referring to a controlled concept specifying the most representative younger value in a range of stratigraphic age intervals for the GeologicUnit. This will be defined entirely at the discretion of the data provider and may be a single event selected from the geologic feature's geological history or a value summarising the all or part of the feature's history.

Attribute tagged values
Tag	Value
isMetadata	false
sequenceNumber	15

<<property>>specification_uri

URI

1...1

URI referring the the GeoSciML GeologicUnit feature that describes the instance in detail. Mandatory property - if not value is provided then a URI referring to a controlled concept explaining why the value is nil must be provided.

Attribute tagged values
Tag	Value
isMetadata	false
sequenceNumber	16

<<property>>metadata_uri

URI

1...1

URI referring to a metadata record describing the provenance of data.

Attribute tagged values
Tag	Value
isMetadata	false
sequenceNumber	17

<<property>>genericSymbolizer

CharacterString

0...1

Identifier for a symbol from standard (locally or community defined) symbolization scheme for portrayal.

Attribute tagged values
Tag	Value
isMetadata	false
sequenceNumber	18

<<property>>shape

GM_Object

1...1

Geometry defining the extent of the feature of interest.

Attribute tagged values
Tag	Value
isMetadata	false
sequenceNumber	19
