GeoSciML Goal
To develop standards-based data models
for the transfer of geoscience information
Why is this relevant to IYPE?
IYPE: 10 Scientific themes
In the analogue era (and Internet 1) what is a map?

IYPE: 10 Scientific themes
In Internet 2 the ‘map’ will be
a dynamic multi dimensional ‘thing’ serving the multiple aspects of geoscience that underpin the 10 themes of IYPE live from globally distributed sources
Preliminary GeoSciML Vision for the 1:1M Global ‘Map’
1. Continue to develop codification of Geoscience data to all fundamental concepts of ‘earth materials’
2. Develop tools to access these data using open source methodologies whereever possible
3. Portray as a global 2D ‘image’ by 2009 (IYPE?)
4. Portray as a 2D ‘intelligent map’ by 2012 (IGC) that can be accessed through multilingual thesauri
5. Move towards 3D portrayal so that we can............
International Year of Planet Earth
• demonstrate the great potential of the Earth sciences in the building of a safer, healthier and wealthier Society
• encourage Society to apply this potential more effectively
• IYPE through its outreach program provides the linkages and drivers we require to better coordinate, expand and increase the uptake of GeoSciML
