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Volcanic Vents Feature Template 1.0 has been replaced by the Volcanic Vents Feature Template 1.22.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.

This resource specifies the information content requested for features representing Seismic Event hypocenter observations. Design is focused on event hypocenters portrayed as points. Hypocenter data for geothermal data system is intended as a tool to identify seismically active areas that are often associated with hydrothermal activity, thus the content model does not include detailed information that would be important for seismological analysis; such information should be accessed by including related resource links. As such data should be restricted to records for known or suspected earthquakes. Epicenters may also be reported by leaving depth information null. The template is an Excel v2003 spreadsheet. Latitude and longitude coordinates reported in the spreadsheet will be converted to the 'geometry' or 'shape' field when the template is converted to a feature class to set up a web feature service to deliver data.

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 is a data interchange content model for a subsurface temperature measurement made in a borehole. Header content that characterizes the borehole sampling feature is included with each observation to assist users finding measurements based on location, depth, particular borehole, etc. This information will be provided through a borehole temperature observation service. 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. Fields in the content model description become XML elements in interchange documents for WFS simple features served by AASG geothermal data web services.Typically bottomhole temperatures are recorded from log headers, and this information will be provided through a borehole temperature observation service. Subsurface temperature data may also be obtained by measurements targeted specifically to obtain thermal data.

A brief overview on how to link data, obtain Identifiers, a look at the actual data and templates, and how to get your borehole data online. Video's part 1 - 5 Part 1 introduces and explains types of data for boreholes with an explanation on identifiers and linking data. Part 2 briefly explains metadata vs. data with an overview on templates used for borehole data. Part 3 takes a look at actual data being used and made through templates, spreadsheets and feature services. Part 4 starts off where part 3 stopped, a look at the actual data using the templates and feature services. Part 5 explains how to search the catalog for metadata records.

This workbook contains three worksheets. The sheet 1 is an explanation of the columns in the 'SOWPlan' worksheet (sheet 2), intended to provide guidance for completing the scope of work information on that sheet. Sheet 3 is a listing of the DataItems (columns A, B,C) that are the choices in the SOWPlan Sheet. This sheet is a template to assist project participants set up an annual statement of work (SOW). It was designed and used for year one contracting (2010-2011).

This workbook is intented to facilitate compilation of metadata content according to the USGIN Recommended Metadata Model (http://repository.usgin.org/uri_gin/usgin/dlio/335). Usage and metadata content are described on the 'Notes' worksheet. Metadata records can be assembled and checked using the 'Metadata Template' worksheet. Content loaded into the template will be transformed to ISO19139 XML metadata records for the NGDS catalog system, but could be transformed to other formats as well. Field names in the template worksheet are similar to the XML element names in the ISO19139 schema, but not equivalent. Mapping from the columns in the spreadsheet to the XML schema is indicated in the FieldList worksheet (right-most column).

This spreadsheet indicates the content requested for basic description of sites utilizing geothermal energy for space heating, greenhouses and resorts and other direct use applications. Initial draft started based on spreadsheet from GeoHeat center for Direct use sites in Arizona.
