GeologicFeature
|
Term(s) that specify the method by which the values for the GeologicFeature were obtained (e.g. point count, brunton compass on site, air photo interpretation, field observation, hand specimen, laboratory, aerial photography, creative imagination...). This corresponds (loosely) to ISO19115 Lineage.
Statement specifies the method that was used to identify the MappedFeature. Examples: . |

GeologicUnit
|
Term that classifies the geologic unit in a generalization hierarchy from most local/smallest volume to most regional. Scoped name because classification is asserted, not based on observational data. Examples: group, subgroup, formation, member, bed, intrusion, complex, batholith |
