BACKGROUND

• Generic Conceptual Model

• ISO standards

• References and Use Cases

• Legal basis

• GeoSciML, MineralResourcesML, O&M,

GroundWaterML

• INSPIRE Hydrography Data Specification

• Annex II and III DS concepts


Use cases to design the data model

• to detect geo-hazards

• to ensure safe disposal of waste

• to detect ground instability in a flat area

• to look for deep fractured zones (geothermal exploration)

• to check background radiation level changes

• to undertake water balance to ensure compliance with the WFD

• to report Groundwater information for WFD

• to define significant pressure on groundwater

• to assess corrosivity to underground assets

• to plan tunneling operations safely and effectively

=> to define objects and their properties

Data model extensions

To address more use cases by managing more objects and properties

For Geology the suggestion is to use GeoSciML v3.0:

• described in an annex D of the Technical Guidelines

• for example:

• to use the Earh Material classes to describe physical properties

• to describe more properties for Boreholes

For Geophysics:

• There is not (yet?) a standard to use: so classes to extent the core model

are provided in the annex D of the Technical Guidelines, mainly to share

observation results:

• Projects containing several campaigns

• Generic Geoph Measurements (to offer more than those in the core)

• Geoph Models (curve, surface grid, solid grid, or other models) with type and

shape


Conclusion

For INSPIRE Geological Data are described in the core model by:

3 mains Geologic Features:

• Geologic Units, Geologic Structures (faults and folds), and

Geomorphologic Features (natural and anthropogenic)

• Their geometry is defined in Mapped Features

• Related Geologic Events may described the age, event process, …

Completed by Boreholes

Geophysics is described by Campaigns and Geophysical Objects : station,

profile and swath

Hydrogeology link ‘rock system’ and ‘groundwater system’

The way to display data is defined in layers for the View Service.

Data model extension is available.


MINERAL RESOURCES


At the starting point - to specify the scope of MR for INSPIRE•Reference material have been analysed, and particularly:� Two legal EU texts providing requirements for the data

specification:�The raw materials initiative (RMI)�The management of waste from extractive industries (Directive

2006/21)� The standard data model EarthResourceML for Mineral resources

– hosted by IUGS/CGI� The work currently done in European projects

BACKGROUND


•Dealing with environmental uncertainties related to mining wastes – relation to Waste Directive 2006/21

•What is the gold potential of Central and Southeastern Europe? – relation to RMI

•Where to find Germanium in Europe? – relation to - “Critical raw materials for the EU – report 2010”

Legislation:• Mining Waste Directive (MWD)

What are - metal ores, industrial minerals, etc., - new

descriptions – DS document - some key words

� Mineral resource

� means a naturally occurring concentration/ accumulation of

organic or inorganic material of intrinsic economic interest in or on

the Earth's crust such as energy fuels, metal ores, industrial minerals

and construction minerals,

�but excluding water,

� in such form and quality that there are reasonable prospects for

eventual economic extraction


What are - metal ores, industrial minerals, etc., - new

descriptions – DS document - some key words

� EarthResource�The EarthResource class inherits the super class GeologicFeature from Geology.

Geometry is provided by the occurrence association between GeologicFeature and

MappedFeature shown in the Geology data specification. The kinds of observable

or inferred phenomena required to classify economic and sub-economic earth

resources.

�MiningFeature� The abstract MiningFeature class represents a conceptual feature that exists

coherently in the world. This corresponds with a Mine or a Mining Activity,

locatable and identifiable features in time and/or space.


new descriptions – some key words

� Mineral Occurrence

� could be a prospect, an occurrence, a mineral deposit, an ore

deposit, etc.

� Mine

� is an excavation for the extraction of mineral deposits. ‘True’ mines

are underground workings and open-pit workings (also called open-

sky mines) generally for the extraction of metallic commodities.

� feature also includes open workings generally for the extraction of

industrial minerals, commonly referred to as quarries.


new descriptions – some key words

� Mining Activity

� related to a Mine, describes the process of extracting metallic or

non-metallic mineral deposits from the Earth

� Commodity

� describes the material of economic interest in the Earth Resource

� Ore Measure

� an estimated or calculated amount of ore and grade that exist

within an Earth Resource, in terms of its resource, reserve and

endowment
