This spreadsheet indicates the content requested for basic description of sites utilizing geothermal energy for generation of electricity, reported for the AASG Geothermal Data Project. Typically use applications are reported. The content model is based on the Power Plant spreadsheet provided by the Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology in Reno, Nevada.

The spreadsheet in this bundle contains the GeothermalAreaTemplate spreadsheet that specifies specifies content elements for an interchange format for geothermal area polygons, for low or high temperature geothermal fields. A personal geodatabase/access database is also included and contains the attributes in this (Template) that will become XML elements in interchange documents for Web feature services, served by AASG geothermal data web services. In the geothermal data system, geothermal area services may be used to discover resources. The deliverable is the personal geodatabase.

This spreadsheet defines the schema used for the interchange of drill stem test observation results by the AASG geothermal data project for the National Geothermal Data System. The HeaderURI for a particular borehole (well for simple wells) is the cross-referencing link (foreign key) used to associate the header record, well logs, temperature measurements, and other information from a particular borehole. At minimum the data will report ObservationURI, WellHeaderURI, WellName, APINo, DSTName, DSTOperator, LatDegree, LongDegree, SRS, DSTTargetFormation, DepthTopOpenZone, DepthBottomOpenZone, PressureInitialShutIn, PressureFinalShutIn, HydrostaticPressure, Source, and InformationSource.

This document is intended to provide guidance for creating an Excel workbook that defines a content model for a flat file data interchange format. The content model defines the information that will be associated with a feature or observation type; the content model may be implemented in a variety of ways, but USGIN is currently implementing these interchange formats as GML Simple Features to be served by an OGC WFS. This is a ‘living document’ that will be revised and updated as practice evolves. The dlio URI identifies the current version; individual pdf versions will have their revision date in the title.

The Reviewing Data for Online Delivery webinar covers topics on data delivery problems, the use of the templates and specifics about their worksheets, a brief review of the Identifiers and URI’s, and a review on the metadata for the data sets. The webinar also includes an overview of the geochemistry template. The AZGS takes a look at the new face of the State Geothermal Data website and its features.

This is a data interchange content model for an observation of the chemical composition of an aqueous fluid. A header content model for sample characterization, location, and analysis metadata is included to assist users finding analyses for specific samples, locations, time intervals, etc. Typically water temperature at the time of sampling are recorded along with sample data. Several 'suites' of analytes representing common analysis results are defined, with the intention that an implementation of the content model would offer several observation feature types, each of which consists of the header fields combined with the analytes for a suite. A content type for reporting results for a single analyte is also proposed, with an abbreviated header; this could be implemented for services similar to the EPA storet data services. In this approach a single analysis result is delivered as a collection of observation records, each with the same AnalysisURI and reporting single analyte. AqueousChemicalAnalysis-BasicData contains fields for information used to discover and retrieve chemical analyses meeting various criteria, and to evaulate the reported results. These fields would be reported along with a collection of analytes from the different suites proposed on the suites table.

Volcanic Vents Feature Template 1.0 has been replaced by the Volcanic Vents Feature Template 1.22. This spreadsheet indicates the content requested for features representing active volcanic vent data. This simple content model is intended to identify recently active volcanic vents that may indicate areas of active hydrothermal systems. Detailed geophysical or geodetic information related to active magma movement and prediction of eruptive activity are out of scope. This template defines the content model for a service that delivers Volcanic Vent observations. Many of these will be standard map location and IDs, but numerous other measurements may be delivered. Much of the variation will concern procedures used to recorded volcanic data, citations, and possible other collected data that may be useful for geothermal resource research. The Volcanic Vent template should be used when compiling geo data from maps and field data. The content model presented here is intended to present key information necessary to query a volcanic vent observation service and to evaluate the reported activity and potentially related temperature.

This template defines the content model for a service that delivers drill stem test data collected during development of Oil and Gas wells. Normal drilling procedures control formation pressures and fluids through the use of a hydrostatic head. Drill Stem Testing brings these formation pressures and fluids to the surface. Data collected during the test procedure will be provided through the drill stem test feature service.
