The Commission for the Management and Application of Geoscience Information • CGI is a Commission of IUGS • CGI is the successor to COGEOINFO Mission “To enable the global exchange of knowledge of geoscience information and systems” Aims • Provide the means for transferring knowledge on geoscience information and systems • Assist international dissemination of best practice in Geoscience Information • Stimulate and support initiatives which are developing standards • Play a position in the international geoscience information community and represent IUGS on geoscience information matters CGI is a body which is for all interested in geology and information People in.... • Geological Surveys • Universities • Commercial companies • Local and Central Government • Societies and clubs CGI COUNCIL • • • • • • • • • • • Carlos Asato, Argentina Kristine Asch, Germany (Chair) John Broome, Canada Sergei Cherkasov, Russia Simon Cox, Australia Max Fernandez, Belgium (Treasurer) Ian Jackson, UK (Secretary General) Anna-Karren Nguno, Namibia François Robida, France Dave Soller, USA Koji Wakita, Japan CGI MEMBERSHIP THROUGHOUT THE WORLD 126 registered members in 43 countries worldwide CGI Action Plan for 2004-2008 • Map and communicate existing geoscience information bodies. • Link information bodies with common needs. • Facilitate relevant outreach workshops • Refine multi-lingual thesaurus . • Develop a framework for ratifying and promoting geoscience information standards. • Promote and encourage data exchange standards. CGI Working Groups Interoperability Working Group (ex-gDMIC) GeoSciML Design, Service Deployment, Testbed, Service Arcitecture Task Group – John Laxton, Simon Cox, Boyan Broderic, Francois Robida (Canada, UK, Australia, France) Multi-Lingual Thesaurus Working Group (MTG) – Joachim Gersemann (Germany) Regional Working Group in South East Asia – Koji Wakita (Japan) Regional Working Group in Russia (proposed) Objectives of the GeoSciML working group • develop a conceptual geoscience data model, based on on existing data models • implement an agreed subset of this model in an agreed schema language • implement an XML encoding of the model subset based on GML (Geography Markup Language), Open Geospatial Consortium, and XXML (Xploration and Mining ML), CSIRO,AU • GeoSciML: GeoScience Markup Language • develop a testbed to illustrate the use of the data model for interchange • identify areas that require standardised classifications in order to enable interchange www.cgi-iugs.org
