1. EarthresourceML version 2
EarthresourceML version 2.0 and Lite – demonstration how to deliver Mineral resource data – Australia – EU - Finland
Jouni Vuollo
CGI EarthresourceML Standards Working Group

2. OUTLINE OF THE PRESENTATION
Background of development
Previous development – GGIC and IUGS/CGI
INSPIRE data specification influence - EU
EarthResourceML versions
IUGS/CGI and EU INSPIRE
EarthResourceML Full model/INSPIRE model
EarthResourceML Lite – released August 2016
Code lists for EarthResourceML and Lite
How to deliver Mineral Resource Data now and in the future – by using standards – ERML and Lite
Data delivery - examples

3. Background of development
Extension of GeoSciML
Covering mineral occurrences, mines, mining activities, commodities, mining waste
Developed by Australian geological survey organisations
Started 2006
Australian Design Task Group
Governance now with the CGI-IUGS
Earth ResourceML Interoperability Working Group established – 2010 September

4. Background of development
The name of the model changes to EarthResourceML 2009 and the version 1.1 was released.
The second and current EarthResourceML version 2.0 was released in October 2013.
In particular, important communities such as INSPIRE and Minerals4EU project provided valuable feedback to develop EarthResourceML 2.0 model

5. Background of development
Now EarthResourceML 2.0 is the preferred standard for mineral resource data sharing initiatives and projects, such as
European Union’s INSPIRE directive, EURare, Minerals4EU, and ProSUM projects,
the Australian AuScope, and Geoscience Portal projects.
After 2015 small modifications, the full INSPIRE Mineral Resource model and CGI EarthResourceML models are identical.

6. EarthResourceML versions
IUGS/CGI and EU INSPIRE
EarthResourceML Lite – released August 2016
AUSGIN will implement in the near future
EarthResourceML v. 2.0 and INSPIRE model
After 2015 small modifications, the full INSPIRE Mineral Resource model and CGI EarthResourceML models are identical.
Minerals4EU started to implement – see later

7. EarthResourceML - Lite
EarthResource Lite version was accepted August 2016 and released August 2016 and included to IGC35th presentation.
EarthResourceML Lite delivers a simplified flat view of key elements of the full EarthResourceML data model.
It can be used to standardise delivery of mineral resource data via Web Map Services (WMS) and simple features Web Feature Services (WFS SF0)
