... a central gateway to all available data, metadata, information and knowledge related to geology
• Web-based access
• Based on data, information, etc.
• Contribution to the NSDI Switzerland
• For the Swiss Geo-Community (universities, commissions, cantonal and federal offices, private, etc.)
What is a Geological Information System?

Swiss Geoscience Meeting 2008 - Data-acquisition ..., Lugano / 22.11.08
1. Heterogeneously distributed dataAccessibility and quality restricted -> centralise access
and ensure quality
2. Complex organisation of the Swiss Geo-Community
Who is doing what? -> clarify
3. Public awareness of Geology is restricted
What is geology? -> Dinos, volcanoes and earthquakes? - or even more?
Why do we need such an information system?

1) Geological data
• Demand for (digital) geological datasets (vector format) is growing :
• Increasing number of natural hazards• Growing importance of environment and
natural resources• Growing number of constructions and need
for energy supply

1) Geological data (cont.)
• One task - many data• Data heterogeneously distributed• Conventional distribution is slow
(ftp, CD by mail) Centralise accessibility to all data and
information Ensure data quality (reliability) Supply data via web-services for
immediate access and use

3) Public awareness
• Public awareness of geology is poor What’s geology all about?
• „Dinosaurs, volcanoes and earthquakes!?“

Natural resources
Basic research
Environment protection
Energy
Natural hazards
Infrastructure
Education
3) ... Geology is a lot more!

Solution ?
• Central• Data = core• Web-portal &
Web-Services• 3 sectors• Components• Targetgroups:
Professionals, semi-professionals and laymen
Geological Information System Switzerland

Components - existing
For example:
• Dataviewer @ swisstopo.ch
• Geo-Adresses @ geosciences.scnat.ch
• Geo-Jobs @ chgeol.org

Swiss Geoscience Meeting 2008 - Data-acquisition ..., Lugano / 22.11.08
Components - in future
• Use functionality of the Web2.0
• “OpenGeoMap” - Web-application
• creating your own geological map
• Comment on existing geological maps
• Geology-Forum
• Share geological knowledge
• 3D - geological model
• Talk by Baumberger et al. (17:45 Uhr)Geological 3D model of the Mont Terri rock laboratory

Summary
Built up a
Centralised, web-based Information System for geology related issues
to
• Enhance accessibility and quality of data, information, etc.
• Clarify the organisation of the Swiss Geo-Community
• Enhance public awareness of geology

Where to go from here?
• Start project (2009)
• Develop concept
• Define working group
• Develop prototype
