GML Application Schema - Package Overview

Package Name Package Description
GeoSciML21 Root package for GeoSciML v 2.1

GeoSciML is an application schema that specifies a set of feature-types and supporting structures for information used in the solid-earth geosciences.

GeoSciML v2 is scoped approximately to the information required to construct geologic maps. "Map" is interpreted broadly, and not constrained to conventional 2-D semi-horizontal cartography, so the GeoSciML information structures also support representation of the distribution of geologic features on sections, along curvilinear-traverses and boreholes, and within volumetric samples, etc.

GeoSciML v2 is primarily concerned with "interpreted" geology (units, structures, etc), but links to external schemas for the descriptions of observational data. GeoSciML is factored into a set of sub-packages.

Changes from GeoSciML v2.0 to v2.1

There only change from v2.0 to v2.1 is the addition of a "faultType" attribute to the ShearDisplacementStructure class.

GeoSciML was developed under the auspices of the Interoperability Working Group (https://www.seegrid.csiro.au/wiki/bin/view/CGIModel/InteroperabilityWG) of the Commission for the Management and Application of Geoscience Information (http://www.cgi-iugs.org/), a commission of the International Union of Geological Sciences http://www.iugs.org .
