GeoSciML and GO Loader

Snowflake Software's tools are based on OGC and ISO Standards. At the core of the product lines lies a unique, generic, 'schema aware' technology that can work with any GML application schema. It is this technology that enabled GO Loader to work 'out of the box' with the GeoSciML application schema.

About GeoSciML

GeoSciML (GeoScience Markup Language) is a GML (Geography Markup Language) application language for geoscience. GeoSciML accommodates the short-term goal of representing geoscience information associated with geological maps and observations, as well as being extensible in the long-term to other geoscience data. It draws from many geoscience data model efforts, and from these establishes a common suite of feature types based on geological criteria (units, structures, fossils) or artefacts of geological investigations (specimens, sections, measurements). Supporting objects are also considered (timescale, lexicons, etc), so that they can be used as classifiers for the primary objects.

GeoSciML is based on W3C, OGC and ultimately ISO international standards for data exchange over the Internet and is being designed by the IUGS-CGI Interoperability Working Group, an international consortium of geological surveys around the world.
