Getting involved in the development of future versions of GeoSciML GeoSciML version 3

GeoSciML Documentation

Concept definitions Task Group

GeoSciML version 2 RC3 We want comments on GeoSciML version 2 RC3 in the period Send comments to: John Laxton, BGS

Use cases for GeoSciML version 3

1-G-E, NSF GIN and Auscope can provide some use cases We need use cases before the work with version 3 starts We need help with model design use cases

Model Design Task Group for GeoSciML version 3 The Interoperability Working Group invites new participants to the Model Design Task Group

GeoSciML version 3 GeoSciML v3 development activities will begin Jan 2009 (earliest)

To participate in the development process Contact the chair of the IWG: John Laxton, BGS
