“…244−246 Digital twins 247,248 may soon become standard tools for modeling the geological subsurface together with production facilities at mine-site (plant) scale, and may be part of larger models that integrate geological information with urban-scale building-and city information models (BIM/CIM) into regional GeoBIM systems. 249,250 Indeed, two decades after the former Vice President of the USA Al Gore outlined his vision of a "Digital Earth", 251 the UN-led Coalition for Digital Environmental Sustainability 252 has recently declared the development of a "Planetary Digital Twin" a strategic priority for the sustainability transformation. Given the accelerating rate of innovation, we can imagine multidimensional (e.g., 6D = x,y,z + time + scale/resolution + uncertainty) 253,254 Digital Earth Science Platforms 254−256 that allow us to model historical, monitor ongoing, and simulate future geological and anthropogenic stock changes and material flows through space and time.…”

Global resource extraction raises concerns about environmental pressures and the security of mineral supply. Strategies to address these concerns depend on robust information on natural resource endowments, and on suitable methods to monitor and model their changes over time. However, current mineral resources and reserves reporting and accounting workflows are poorly suited for addressing mineral depletion or answering questions about the longterm sustainable supply. Our integrative review finds that the lack of a robust theoretical concept and framework for mass-balance (MB)consistent geological stock accounting hinders systematic industrygovernment data integration, resource governance, and strategy development. We evaluate the existing literature on geological stock accounting, identify shortcomings of current monitoring of mine production, and outline a conceptual framework for MB-consistent system integration based on material flow analysis (MFA). Our synthesis shows that recent developments in Earth observation, geoinformation management, and sustainability reporting act as catalysts that make MB-consistent geological stock accounting increasingly feasible. We propose first steps for its implementation and anticipate that our perspective as "resource realists" will facilitate the integration of geological and anthropogenic material systems, help secure future mineral supply, and support the global sustainability transition.

“…This data is of crucial interest for projects which involve shallow or deep digging of the ground, such as building construction, excavation, etc. [87]. By including such information in the design stage, risks of accidents can be better handled and costs can be reduced significantly.…”

“…We need holistic modelling of cities in 3D with integrated subsurface information. GIS standards (such as the OGC standard CityGML) or BIM standards (such as IFC) are not designed to work with real world subsurface data originating from the 3D geological models [87], even if some work has been done to model such information in integrated models [22,80], as well as in IFC [18]. The standard LandInfra includes support for topography (terrain) as well as subsurface information in its requirement class LandFeature [55].…”

LandInfra is a relatively new open standard for modelling and representing land and infrastructure features. As it overlaps with other open standards in BIM (IFC) and 3D GIS (CityGML), it has been recognised as a potential candidate to bridge the gap between the two domains. However, the knowledge of this standard in both communities is low, and there are still no publications which fully explore LandInfra and its possibilities for integrated BIM-GIS applications. In this paper, we review the LandInfra conceptual model and its GML encoding InfraGML, provide a detailed comparison of it with respect to CityGML and IFC, and investigate a few potential use cases where LandInfra and InfraGML are useful for BIM-GIS applications.

“…CityGML originally does not model real-world subsurface data originating from the geological models [36], which is useful for many applications, such as infrastructural works that require excavations and soil studies. Since LandInfra has support for modelling topography (terrain) and subsurface information in its requirement class LandFeature, our Infra ADE enables the modelling of surface features (such as buildings, roads, etc.)…”

The relatively new Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) standard LandInfra documents in its data model land and civil engineering infrastructure features. It has a Geography Markup Language (GML) implementation, OGC InfraGML, which has essentially no software support and is rarely used in practice. In order to share the benefits of LandInfra (and InfraGML) with a wider public, we have created the Infra Application Domain Extension (ADE), a CityGML ADE that allows us to store LandInfra features in CityGML. In this paper, we semantically map LandInfra to CityGML, describe our ADE, and discuss a few used cases where our ADE can be useful for applications for the built environment. We also provide software to automatically convert datasets from InfraGML to CityGML (and our ADE), and vice versa, as well as to validate them, which will help practitioners generate real-world InfraGML datasets.
