Outline • Web mapping approaches • Levels of data interoperability • Demo
Two Approaches to Web Geology Maps • Atlas (Geologic Cartographic System): mosaic of geologic map images • GIS (Geologic Information System): collection of geologic map data
Option 1: web ATLAS • purpose: communication • content: picture, text, URL • function: view only • standard: datasystems
optional optional • Option 2: web GIS • purpose: science, policy • content: mapdata • function: view, query, symbolize, download • standard: datasystems, data structure, data content
Map System 1 Map System 2 Integrated Map scientific Scientific Interpretation (Geologist) scientific semantic Data Content (Ontology) semantic GIS schematic Data Structure (GeoSciML) schematic syntax Data Language (GML) syntax Atlas systems Data Services (WMS, WFS, WCS) systems Levels of Map Data Interoperability
but: heterogeneous structure, content, interpretation from www.GEONgrid.org • Systems Interoperability • aligning data system interfaces (web services) • STANDARD DATA INTERFACES • to different data systems • e.g. open geospatial web services (OGC)
Schematic Interoperability • aligning heterogeneous data structures • STANDARD SCHEMA • for data transfer from www.GEONgrid.org • but: heterogeneous data content, interpretation
Semantic Interoperability • aligning heterogeneous definitions for data content Era Eon Period Series from www.GEONgrid.org • but: heterogeneous interpretation at map borders • STANDARD DEFINITIONS • data content: rock types, time scale, … • data schema, metadata
Scientific Interoperability • aligning heterogeneous scientific interpretations from www.GEONgrid.org • but: done by geologists, not computers (… for now?) • Differences in: • geometry • geohistory • description • classification
Example of Schematic Interoperability • GeoSciML Testbed 2 IUGS-CGI Interoperability Work Group (IWG) - Use open standards for system & syntax (WxS,GML) - Develop standard schema for data exchange (GeoSciML) - Demonstrate the need for semantic standards - Three use-cases: view&query, download, symbolize

Some questions for 1G: • Atlas or GIS or hybrid? • Level of interoperability? • Leverage GeoSciML Testbed 2? GeoSciML Testbed 2 demonstration on Friday!
