Presentation Transcript

  1. Geoscience Information Network A Digital, Distributed, Interoperable Data Network for the Geosciences Lee Allison, Arizona Geological Survey Association of American State Geologists Linda Gundersen, U.S. Geological Survey Stephen Richard, AZGS Tamara Dickinson, USGS

  2. Geoscience Information Network (GIN) 3,000+ data bases in USGS & 51 State Geological Surveys

  3. Defining GIN • collections of service definitions, interchange formats, and vocabularies • independent of hardware, operating system, or lower-level network protocols • new technology will only require implementation of network elements in a new environment • architecture allows for the use of multiple conventions for different user groups

  4. EarthChem test bed - linking a large, complex global data system Geochemical data from GEOROC, NAVDAT, PetDB, and USGS = 594,335+ samples

  5. USGS 51 state geological surveys EarthChem OneGeology ESRI Geology Data Model GEON petroWEB GeoSciML GeoSciNET PaleoStrat CoreWall GeoSciML OneGeology GEON Earthchem Catalogues: Natl Geo Map DB Natl Data Catalogue GEON

  6. Circuit Riders – “eRiders” • Part trainer, part management consultant, part computer expert • Write GeoSciML “wrappers” • Guide server configurations • Available to anyone • Training, short courses eRiders.net

  7. The network is voluntary, not imposed from above Interoperability

  8. Data sets 4474   • Services 6564   • Tools 41   • Ontologies 26 LIDAR processing

  9. Data discovery - • 79,000+ maps, images, data, and products from 350+ publishers • Lexicon of Geologic Names of the United States

  10. Data discovery - National Data Catalogue • National Geologic & Geophysical Data Preservation Program • State Surveys • $1M FY08 • National inventory • Metadata catalogue • National Data Catalogue

  11. Mark-up language “wrapper” translates your data GeoSciML developers Cocoon Uppalla, Sweden GeoServerKeyworth, UK CocoonOttawa, Canada Ionic Orleans, France Mapserver Arizona CocoonVirginia, USA Tsukuba, Japan GeoServer Canberra GeoServer Melbourne, Australia
