USGIN Simple Feature Content Model Guidelines

Basic Information
Author: 
USGIN Specifications Drafting Team
Description: 
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.

AASG Geothermal Data: Thermal Springs Feature template

Description: 
This spreadsheet indicates the content requested for basic data characterizing a hot spring feature for the AASG geothermal data project. Typcially water temperatures are recorded with other information such as water quality or chemical analysis from a particular spring. The temperature and flow rate reported here are meant to be generalized characterization. Other observation services should be used to report time series of temperature or flow measurements; chemical analytical data is also reported by a separate observation service. This sheet may be used to compile multiple temperature or flow rate observations for individual springs as well. Spreadsheet is in zip archive.

Access Statement: 
This is a template for compilation of data for submission to the AASG Geothermal Data project. Check to see that it is the most current version before using.
Lineage Statement: 
0.1 Initial draft started by applying available hot springs data and deleting water chemistry observations data that has a separate content model. 0.2 Update draft and provided details for Features and DataMapView 0.9 cross check against data compiled by AZGS to see if additional fields are necessary, add documentation. 1.0 Add instructions tab, rename tabs to match those used on other sheets
