7. EarthResourceML Scenarios an explorer conducts an investigation of mineralisation over an exploration lease a land use planner investigates potential resources within an area to aid land use decisions. a mining engineer conducts a mine site hazard study a project generation geologist examines mineral system potential deliver mineral occurrence data to the Australian geoscience mineral occurrence portal (Mines Atlas)

8. EarthResourceML Governance Australian/NZ Government Geologists Information Committee (GGIC) Commenced work in November 2006 MineralOccurrences v1.0 released March 2007 EarthResourceML v1.1 released July 2009 Production services by GSV, PIRSA, MRT, GSWA, NTGS Consumed by AuScope Portal (http://portal.auscope.org/gmap.html)http://portal.auscope.org/gmap.html Proposed INSPIRE standard (December 2009) CGI-IUGS requested to take-over governance (August 2010)

9. Methodology Lessons learnt from GeoSciML development: - No right or wrong way, just agreed way - Use UML to capture model - Don’t maintain classes you don’t have to - Re-use other domain classes (GeoSciML, GML) Identify Use Cases from Scenarios - Required for testing Community standard data model - an ‘Application schema’ - In a serialized form used for data transfer (i.e. ‘standard exchange format’) In general this is different from the storage format Goal One normative artefact – the UML model Documentation generated automatically ‘How to’ and ‘Cookbook’ documentation Map users data to model – modify model if necessary Establish WFS – modify model if necessary
