Abstract:GeoSciML has been developed to enable the interchange of geoscience information, principally that portrayed on geological maps as well as boreholes. A GeoSciML testbed was developed both to test the implementation of the data model and its application in web services. The OneGeology-Europe project aims to use the GeoSciML data model, and build on the experience of the GeoSciML testbed, in implementing a geoportal for a harmonised geological map of Europe at 1:1 million scale. This involves the integration of w… Show more
“…The OneGeology initiative ( http:// www.onegeology.org/ ) is another collaborative research network that aims to enable sharing of data across international projects and national geological survey organisations. It has implemented Geoscience Markup Language (GeoSciML) as part of the underpinning infrastructure to support this (Laxton et al 2010 ). This has, in turn, provided a basis for the development of more detailed taxonomies and ontologies that complement and extend the higher-level work of GEON and Geonames, offering, for example, consistent means of describing phenomena in fl uvial geomorphology, glaciology and different subdivisions of petrology.…”

Section: Conclusion: How To Keep a Persistent Record Of Science?mentioning
The first minting of Digital Object Identifiers (DOI) for research data happened in 2004 in the context of the project "Publication and citation of primary scientific data" (STD-DOI). Some of the concepts and perceptions about DOI for data today have their roots in the way this project implemented DOI for research data and the decisions made in those early days still shape the discussion about the use of persistent identifiers for research data today. This project also laid the foundation for a tighter integration of journal publications and data. Promoted by early adopters, such as PANG AEA, DOI registration for data has reached a high level of maturity and has become an integral part of scientific publishing. This paper discusses the fundamental concepts applied in the identification of DOI for research data and how these can be interpreted for alternative and future applications of persistent identifiers for research data.
“…The project addressed harmonization of spatial data at three levels (structure, content, and geometry) by using common data models, deploying multilingual geoscience vocabularies, and conducting case studies in cross-border regions [Laxton et al, 2010]. The main advantage of harmonization is that the distributed data are presented as a seamless whole, and users can query all data sources concurrently.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
