The GeoSciML-Portrayal schema standardises the interaction (request/response formats) with layer-based map services. It is best thought of as a view of GeoSciML data that denormalizes the data and concatenates complex property values into single, human-readable, labels and returns single, representative, values from controlled vocabularies for properties multi-valued properties that can be used when generating thematic maps, or portrayals, of the data. It is separate to, but harmonized with, GeoSciML and conforms to the level 0 of the Simple Features Profile for GML (link). Labels, will be 'free-text' fields that will be, in robust services, well-structured summaries of complex GeoSciML data, while the representative thematic properties will be URIs of concepts in a controlled vocabulary (for example CGI Simple Lithology). There will also be links, via identifier URIs, providing hooks to full GeoSciML representations of a the geologic feature in question. ******************************************************************************************************************** Minor edit in v2.0.1 - Corrected error in documentation notes for Borehole/specification_uri, to read "URI referring the GeoSciML Borehole feature...", not "URI referring the GeoSciML GeologicUnit feature..." ******************************************************************************************************************** 0 http://schemas.opengis.net/gml/3.1.1/profiles/gmlsfProfile/1.0.0/gmlsf.xsd The GeoSciML Portrayal View schema standardises the interaction (request/response formats) with layer-based map services.

In GeoSciML terms this will be in instance of a MappedFeature with key property values from the associated Contact feature summarised as labels (unconstrained character strings) or arbitrarily selected classifiers to be used for thematic mapping purposes.
