1 The Australian mineral occurrence data model
Adele Seymon for the TEAM…

2 GGIC Mineral Occurrence working group

3 Why? Deliver data through the Australian Geoscience Portal - RELEVANT TO YOU, THE EXPLORERS! How? Permit data transfer between organisations Develop a standard data model Develop standard vocabularies

4 Organisation specific Access, Excel, Proprietary GIS
Systems (Data Services) Syntax (Data Language) Schematic (Data Structure) Semantic (Data Content) interoperability What? Current ‘Systems’ Organisation specific Few standards Access, Excel, Proprietary GIS Files, DVD, CD GeoSciML System Controlled Vocabularies Mineral Occurrences, GeoSciML, O&M GML, XML WFS, WMS, WCS

5 How? Extension of GeoSciML Based on other international standards
Real-world objects classified into types based on a characteristic set of properties

6 Mineral Occurrence Mineral System Mapped Feature Earth Resource Material Mineral Deposit Model e.g. komatiite hosted nickel Ore Measure Resource Reserve Endowment Commodity Mine Product Mining Activity

14 Key points Describes Mineral Occurrences independent of human activities NiS mineral occurrence Caters for description of Min Occ using: Mineral Deposit Models (e.g. remobilised NiS) Mineral Systems (Geodynamic context) Crustal processes Requires use of controlled vocabularies

15 Key points cont. Utilises GeoSciML Mapped Feature to describe spatial representation Utilises GeoSciML Earth Material to describe host and associated materials

16 Controlled vocabularies – examples
Deposit expression (e.g. Gossan, mag high, gravity low) Deposit shape and form (e.g. stratabound)

20 Future work Model needs the Mineral Systems part developed
Source: melt composition, physical properties, metal endowment Pathways: propagation, complexity, flow regime Traps: efficiency, periodicity, scale

21 Future work and limitations
6 of 7 surveys have mapped their databases to the Mineral Occurrence domain model Awaiting development of software to allow delivery Industry and software vendors need to adopt
