1 1 Themes Geology & Mineral Resources INSPIRE Update J.J.Serrano, J. Laxton, and the TWG members

2 2 Themes Geology & Mineral Resources Planning: Data Specifications v2.0 delivered (20/06/2011) Comments by SDIC/LMOs until 21/10/2011 Testing by registered SDIC/LMOs until 21/10/2011 Comments resolution workshop early december New version of Data Specifications v3.0 expected April 2012

3 3 Theme Geology Definition in the INSPIRE Directive: Geology characterised according to composition and structure. Includes bedrock, aquifers and geomorphology.

4 4 Theme Geology Use cases: 10 use cases described Legislation: For the Hydrogeological part of the model: the WFD/GWD (Water Framework Directive / Groundwater Directive) Existing standards: GeoScienceML O&M (ISO/OGC)

5 5 Theme Geology GeoSciML GroundwaterML INSPIRE GE Data Model Geophysics Geomorphology Hydrogeology Geology: The INSPIRE model has two parts: The core defining objects, properties, … to be required by the law The extension with more objects and properties to fit use cases requirements

6 6 Theme Geology Geomorphology:

7 7 Theme Geology Borehole

8 8 Theme Geology Hydrogeology: Water system: Groundwater Bodies Groundwater Flow System Rock system: Hydrogeological units Aquifer System (aquifers, aquitards) Hydrogeological System: contains Groundwater Flow Systems is formed by Aquifer System Hydrogeological Objects: Natural (vanishing point, spring / seep) Man made (water well)

9 9 Theme Geology Issue: Aquifer systems are not Geologic Units

10 Theme Geology Geophysics (core model): Geoph. Surveys Location, extent, survey types (gravity, seismic,...), responsible parties Geoph. Measurements Field observation procedures (types: station, profile,3D measurement) Geoph. Models Results of a process or an interpretation: spatial distribution of physical properties (only Surface Grid Model in the core model)

11 Theme Geology Geophysics (extension): –More detailed description of Geoph. Procedures and Geoph. Results –Use of O&M, and Coverages of the GCM –Code lists are external Geoph. Surveys more information on Campaigns and Projects Geoph. Measurements relation to Sampling Features (ex: station to sample points) Geoph. Models other models than Surface Grid Model

14 Theme Geology

15 Theme Mineral Resources Mineral resources Definition: Mineral resources including metal ores, industrial minerals, etc., where relevant including depth/height information on the extent of the resource.

16 Theme Mineral Resources Legislation: Mining Waste Directive and the Raw materials initiative Existing standards: EarthResourceML / GeoScienceML Mineral: International Mineralogical Association European project ProMine: Mining Waste Code lists / Vocabularies Portrayal rules Use cases: 4 use cases described

17 Theme Mineral Resources GeoSciML EarthResourceML INSPIRE MR Data Model Mining Wastes Mineral Resources: Exploration Activity Proposed changes made to EarthResourceML are described in a document

18 Theme Mineral Resources Mining waste

19 Theme Mineral Resources New property Enduse Potential added to Mineral Occurrence New data type : Mining Waste Measure New Code lists defined, other updated Several definitions updated Exploration activity

20 Theme Mineral Resources The Mine Name: to use the INSPIRE data type (Geographical Name)?
