  1. Report for April 2009 – March 2010

  2. OneGeology progress in Europe being taken forward by OneGeology-Europe • But … coordination and technical coordination of OneGeology global by UK and France - BGS and BRGM

  3. OneGeology-Europe project • Started 11 September 2008 • Duration 2 years (ends this August) • Total budget 3.25M€ • EC contribution 2.6M€ (80%) • Funded by EC DG Information Society and Media • 10 Work Packages • 28 Partners from 20 countries

  4. Major objectives • Make a leading European contribution to global challenges • Make existing digital geological spatial data more easily discoverable, accessible and useable • Make a contribution to the progress of INSPIRE: i.e. develop systems and protocols to better enable the discovery, viewing, downloading and sharing of geological data • Enable the Groundwater and Soils directives, GMES, GEOSS and SEIS to deliver • Demonstrate best practice examples of the delivery and application of geological spatial data • Improve contribution of surveys across Europe by spreading and sharing best practice

  5. 10 Work Packages • WP1. Project management • WP2. Use cases and best practice in meeting stakeholder needs • WP3. 1:1 million pan-European geological data specification • WP4. Data inventory and multilingual discovery metadata catalogue • WP5. Informatics specification, data model, interoperability and standards

  6. 10 Work Packages • WP6. Web portal and Registry development and implementation • WP7. Access and licensing protocols • WP8. Communication, dissemination and awareness • WP9. Access to high resolution geological & applied datasets in national & cross border situations • WP10. Liaison with related groups and initiatives in Europe and globally

  7. OneGeology - Europe coverage OneGeology - Europe data provider and consortium member OneGeology data provider OneGeology-Europe data provider and consortium member Project team

  8. Progress to date • User needs and gap analysis reports prepared • Data model & schema developed (provides interoperability) • Geological specification and vocabulary developed (allows progress towards harmonisation) • Metadata profile produced • Portal developed and first data served • Draft Code of Practice for data access produced • High resolution and cross-border delivery services tested • 20+Surveys now preparing to serve their ~1:1m data before 7/2010 (and this will be a Web Feature Service) • Formal commitment to serve ~1:1m data for free and with minimum barriers being confirmed

  9. Current status

  10. Current status (cont.)

  11. Involved but not serving the data

  12. Still missing in action

  13. What’s next for OneGeology-Europe? • Ensure all geological survey consortium members are providing a WFS according to the specification • Document the major harmonisation issues and propose a process for tacking them • Finalise the Code of Practice for data access • Produce a book illustrating use of geological spatial data • Provide EGS with options for sustaining OneGeology-Europe web service

  14. Thank you
