CGI Data Model Collaboration
Welcome to the home of
SEEGrid.CGIModel.
This is a web-based collaboration area for the IUGS
Commission for Geoscience Information,
working group on Interoperability.
CGI
The
Commission for the Management and Application of Geoscience Information (CGI) is a commission of the
International Union of Geological Sciences.
The aims of CGI are to enable the global exchange of knowledge about geoscience information and systems.
It is increasingly becoming important to query and exchange geological information between geological data providers for legal, social, environmental and geoscientific reasons.

CGI and Interoperability
The specific objectives of the CGI
Interoperability Working Group are to:
- to develop a conceptual model of geoscientific information drawing on existing data models
- to implement an agreed subset of this model in an agreed schema language
- implement an XML/GML encoding of the model subset
- develop a testbed to illustrate the potential of the data model for interchange
- identify areas that require standardised classifications in order to enable interchange
Organization
The
GeoSciML data model is now developed within the
GeoSciML Standards Working Group of the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC), under a cooperative agreement with the CGI.
Activity of the Interoperability Working Group was historically focussed in six task-groups detailed
