Class <<Type>> CompoundMaterial (extends EarthMaterial )

An EarthMaterial composed of particles composed of EarthMaterials, possibly including other CompoundMaterials.

This class is provided primarily as an extensibility point for related domain models that wish to import and build on GeoSciML, and wish to define material types that are compound but are not rock or rock-like material. For most users of GeoSciML "RockMaterial" should be used.

Attributes

Name Type Bounds From Class Notes
color Category 1..* EarthMaterial Terms to specify color of the earth material. Color schemes such as the Munsell rock and soil color schemes could be used.
Attribute tagged values
Tag Value
nillable True
sequenceNumber 1
purpose DescriptionPurpose 1..1 EarthMaterial Specification of the intended purpose/level of abstraction for the given EarthMaterial. Scoped name because intention is asserted by author of the data instance.
Values: Instance, TypicalNorm, IdentifyingNorm.

Tag Value
sequenceNumber 2
compositionCategory Category 1..* CompoundMaterial Term to specify the gross compositional character of a compound material. Composition as used here is loosely construed to include both chemical composition and petrograpic composition, thus multiple values may be applied to a single rock, e.g. metaluminous and alkalic, undersaturated and basic, etc. Terms would typically include broad chemical classifications such as silicate, carbonate, ferromagnesian, oxide. However, this attribute may have different terminology for different kinds of rocks - for example sandstone petrographic classification terms (e.g. feldspathic) might be placed here.

Tag Value

geneticCategory Category 1..* CompoundMaterial A term that represents a summary geologic history of the material. (ie, a genetic process classifier term) Examples include igneous, sedimentary, metamorphic, shock metamorphic, volcanic, pyroclastic.
