This database is a compilation of active fault data provided by the Idaho Geological Survey for the National Geothermal Data System. The zip file contains a personal geodatabase (accessible in access) with 12 tables. Tables in the database include: ActiveFault, ActiveFault_Shape_Index, GDB_ColumnInfo, GDB_GeomColumns, GDB_ItemRelationships, GDB_ItemRelationshipTypes, GDB_Items, GDB_Items_Shape_Index, GDB_ItemTypes, GDB_ReplicaLog, GDB_SpatialRefs and IDActiveFaultsDataTable. Data for 591 records are included. Fields in the data table include OBJECTID, FeatureURI, FaultName, FullName, ParentFeatureURI, Label, Description, Symbol, OtherID, SpecificationURI, FeatureType, GeologicHistory, RepresentativeAgeURI, YoungerAgeURI, OlderAgeURI, ObservationMethod, IntervalSinceMovement, PositionAccuracy, Displacement, SlipRate, SlipAccumulationInterval, MovementType, MovementSense, DipDirection, DateMostRecentEvent, RecurrenceInterval, TotalSlip, Source, MetadataURI, Shape and Shape_Length.

This dataset contains fault features compiled by the Geological Survey of Alabama, and published as a Web feature service for the National Geothermal Data System. Fields in the Fault Feature Content Model will become XML elements in interchange documents for WMS simple features provided by a node in the USGIN network. Each observation includes a Fault Name, Symbol, and location spatially referenced to EPSG: 4326 (for interoperability). The data contained in the submitted dataset is available as an Access Database (.mdb), Excel Spreadsheet, ESRI service, WMS and WFS service.

This spreadsheet is a compilation of Active Fault features compiled by the California Geological Survey, published as a Web feature service for the National Geothermal Data System. The document contains 7 worksheets, including information about the template, instructions on using the template, notes related to revisions of the template, Resource provider information, the data, a field list (data mapping view) and a worksheet with vocabularies for use in populating the spreadsheet (data valid terms). Each feature in an active fault data set (row in this spreadsheet) should be characterized by a unique combination of name, URI, geologic history, slip, locatability and orientation properties, as well as being physically connected or inferred to be connected in the Earth. For mapped active faults ,which are the scope of this scheme, the deformation style is assumed to be brittle (as opposed to ductile). Fields in the data table include FeatureURI, Name, FullName, ParentFeatureURI, Label, Description, Symbol, OtherID, SpecificationURI, FeatureType, GeologicHistory, RepresentativeAgeURI, YoungerAgeURI, OlderAgeURI, IntervalSinceMovement, Shape, ObservationMethod, PositionAccuracyMeters, PositionAccuracy, Displacement, SlipRate, SlipAccumulationInterval, MovementType, MovementSense, DipDirection, DateMostRecentEvent, RecurrenceInterval, TotalSlip, Source and MetadataURI.

This spreadsheet indicates the content for fault features. The model is from the IUGS CGI interoperability working group. See https://www.seegrid.csiro.au/wiki/bin/view/CGIModel/GeoSciMLThematicViewModel. This schema is a view of GeoSciML data that denormalizes the data and concatenates complex property values into single, human-readable, labels and returns single, representative, values from controlled vocabularies for properties multi-valued properties that can be used when generating thematic maps, or portrayals, of the data. It is separate to, but harmonized with, GeoSciML and conforms to the level 0 of the Simple Features Profile for GML (link). Labels, will be 'free-text' fields that will be, in robust services, well-structured summaries of complex GeoSciML data, while the representative thematic properties will be URIs of concepts in a controlled vocabulary. There may also be links, via identifier URIs, to full GeoSciML representations of the geologic features.

This document-like information object is the content schema for describing active fault features. Note that fault features require a geometry field that contains the geographic location of the fault trace (typically named 'shape' in ESRI feature classes). The actual template for deploying services must be a GIS feature class, thus cannot be implemented as an Excel spreadsheet. Design is focused on faults portrayed as line segments. The content model is based on the GeoSciML thematic view for ShearDisplacementStructure (see https://www.seegrid.csiro.au/wiki/bin/view/CGIModel/GeoSciMLThematicViewModel), extended with some convenience properties specific to young fault structures. Active in this context denotes that there is compelling evidence of fault displacement during the Quaternary. The version 1.2 content model has been reviewed by NGDS project technical teams and the normative version is now at : http://www.geothermaldata.org/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=s81mQBojfLo%3d&tabid=444&mid=1271
