Earth Resource Expression
This scheme describes concepts for specifying the kinds of surface expression associated with an Earth Resource, as defined by the IUGS Commission for Geoscience Information (CGI) Geoscience Terminology Working Group. By extension, it includes all concepts in this conceptScheme, as well as concepts in any previous versions of the scheme. Designed for use in the "expression" property in EarthResourceML EarthResource elements.
