1. EarthResourceML – model – a summary
Jouni Vuollo and EarthResourceML SW group

2. What is EarthResourceML(ERML)
EarthResourceML is an XML–based data transfer standard for the exchange of digital information for mineral occurrences, mines and mining activity. 
Developed by GGIC and now governed by CGI-IUGS
Jouni Vuollo ISPRA Italy

3. What is EarthResourceML(ERML)
Extension of GeoSciML v3.2
It describes the geological characteristics and setting of mineral occurrences
Geological features based on GeoSciML model
ERML model covers mineral occurrences, mines, mining activities, commodities, mining waste
ERML and INSPIRE standard – theme Mineral Resources – are identical (- INSPIRE_id/GML_id)
Jouni Vuollo ISPRA Italy

4. A Short History
Australian/NZ Government Geologists Information Committee (GGIC)
GGIC Mineral Occurrence Task Group
Commenced work in November 2006
MineralOccurrences v1.0 released March 2007
Tested in AuScope portal June 2009
EarthResourceML v1.1 released July 2009
Production services by GSV, PIRSA, MRT, NTGS, GSWA
See AuScope Discovery Portal (

5. A Short History Governance by IUGS/ CGI as per GeoSciML (from 9/2010)
EarthResourceML v 2.0 released June 2012
After IWG meeting – Wellington 8/2012
 After some further revision, mainly to accommodate the needs of the European INSPIRE Directive
EarthResourceML version 2.0 was published in October 2013. 
Potential uptake by international community
Production in AuScope Discovery Portal (
European directive/projects – accepted as a standard
INSPIRE - EURARE – EGDIScope
Minerals4EU tested the full model – report and feedback in ERML meeting - ISPRA

15. EarthResourceML 2.0 – vocabularies
Most of the code lists came from the IUGS/CGI (EarthResourceML IWG)
Then modified by INSPIRE TWG and completed by the INSPIRE TWG and Minerals4EU project
proposal to INSPIRE MIG group is coming (10/2015)
Now the ERML v 2.0 model has 24 code lists
21hosted by IUGS/CGI
14 in INSPIRE register (core model codes)
3 lists from other international organizations
mineral names from IMA
Products from Gensus.org
Mining Waste types from EIONET
See vocabularies

16. The Future – EarthResourceML
GGIC needs – Australia and New Zealand and Minerals4Eu feedback
ERML portrayal for Mineral Resource data delivery – like GeoSciML portrayal
Allows delivery of a small and simplified part of the full ERML model
New evolved version of ERML 2.0 – > 2.1
feedback from Minerals4EU and other projects
