2.1. Abstract

This document has been created within Work Package 7 of the GeoERA GIP-P project and defines a unified methodology for a structured metadata description of the results of GeoERA projects (structured data that will be included in the European Geological Data Infrastructure (EGDI)) with the extension to unify the description of 3D geological models.

2.3. Executive summary

Metainformation system for the storage of a structured description of diverse data sources (datasets, services, applications) has formed an integral part of the EGDI since its establishment. Recently, also 3D geological models have been produced as another form of project results which are also intended to be included in the EGDI platform. That implies a need to define an extended EGDI metadata profile for a unified description of these models in order to enable an effective search according to different user-defined parameters.

This proposed metadata profile is compatible with the international standard EN ISO 19115:2003(E) which is well usable also for the basic description of a model. In accordance with the rules for the metadata description of already existing data sources, it is proposed to fill in the metadata records for models bilingually (national language + English), which facilitates the cross-border use of the records within (but not exclusively) the GeoERA consortium. After a consultation with JRC it is proposed to create the metadata records for 3D geological models in accordance with the INSPIRE IR (with an extension). In this first phase it is proposed to describe individual models as datasets, with the option of a hierarchical aggregation under one project or any larger work.

A future extension to this metadata profile could be a more detailed description of the modelling parameters – these would probably have to be described by another standard because EN ISO 19115 is not suitable for this.

2.4. EGDI Metadata profile

2.4.1. Overview of the used metadata elements

The area of interest is characterized by simple geological structure that includes two lithotectonic units. Metamorphic rocks are of Prevariscan protolith, which was significantly reworked during variscan orogeny between c. 350 – 340 Ma and magmatic rocks of south-western margin of Central Bohemian Plutonic Complex which intruded into them at age around 345 Ma. The detailed 3D structural geological model of the Březový potok candidate site was created for SÚRAO (RAWRA) during the course of ZL U2304-010 “3D Structural Geological Models” solution. The model itself was created in MOVE software and was submitted to SÚRAO in native MOVE format and in 3D PDF format.
