“…Groundwater database schemas provide a structure for organizing and managing groundwater information in data repositories, either for restricted scope (e.g. Chesnaux et al 2011;Gogu et al 2001;Steward and Bernard, 2006;Wojda et al 2010;Oulidi et al 2009), or for broad use (Kisters 2017;Nešetřil and Šembera 2014;Strassberg et al 2007). Ontologies are formally arranged vocabularies used by data networks to help find and use distributed data, with a focus on hydrology in general (Atkinson and Fig.…”

“…Augmentation of the technologic usage scenario is also a possibility, to determine alignment with important standards such as with the ArcHydro Groundwater standard database schema (Strassberg et al 2007), and with emerging surface water schemas such as HY_Features (Atkinson and Dornblut 2012). It is anticipated that these and other future directions for GWML2 will continue to be coordinated by the OGC Groundwater Standards Working Group in collaboration with related activities in industry, academia, and government, to promote GWML2 adoption and further the overall aim of enabling groundwater data exchange and interoperability.…”

GWML2 is an international standard for the online exchange of groundwater data that addresses the problem of data heterogeneity. This problem makes groundwater data hard to find and use because the data are diversely structured and fragmented into numerous data silos. Overcoming data heterogeneity requires a common data format; however, until the development of GWML2, an appropriate international standard has been lacking. GWML2 represents key hydrogeological entities such as aquifers and water wells, as well as related measurements and groundwater flows. It is developed and tested by an international consortium of groundwater data providers from North America, Europe, and Australasia, and facilitates many forms of data exchange, information representation, and the development of online web portals and tools.

A regional groundwater management system has been elaborated, integrating Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) and various web services. It consists of web geospatial application so-called HydrIS ( Hydrogeological Information System) based on Open Source components and technologies, leading to a feasible and low-cost solution. Therefore, HydrIS permits delivery of data from a number of heterogeneous sources to standards supported by the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC). The protocols used for exchanging data are also derived from OGC standards, i.e., WMS (Web Mapping Service), WFS (Web Feature Service), and WCS (Web Coverage Service). Finally, a geoportal was developed, which consists of client-applications that communicate with different Web Services (WMS, WCS, and WFS) through HTTP-requests.A prototype for web-based GIS application was designed using the deegree Framework to provide systematic interfaces and functions. This system was developed to demonstrate the value of making hydrogeological data more widely accessible through client/server architecture. This experience and knowledge already gained in this project will be a source for technology transfer and policy decisions. Otherwise, this will enable user groups to improve the management of their groundwater resources and contribute to enhanced decision support capabilities.

“…Misinterpretations by users are reduced, together with confusion reading and displaying hydrogeological data. Maidment, 2002;Strassberg, 2005;Bernard, et al, 2005 The primary objective was to design a groundwater data model for describing, storing, visualizing, analyzing and communicating groundwater geospatial information at regional and local scales, combining surface and groundwater information. It takes advantage of the already developed ArcHydro surface water data model (Maidment, 2002).…”

The purpose of this article is to make a review of hydrogeological information modeling objectives, techniques, and problems, and finally to propose a solution for data integration and transfer. Hydrogeological data and information management is crucial for efficient integrated water resources administration, protection, and exploitation. To assure an effective management of groundwater resources, a close cooperation and information exchange between different actors at different levels is necessary. The information flux must be optimized between local producers and potential users of hydrogeological data: regional and national institutions, as well as international and transboundary analysts and managers. The paper format of representation and exchange of hydrogeological information has already been replaced by different digital forms. However, an enormous diversity in applied formats and representations makes hydrogeological information extremely difficult to transfer in an automatic way. If this transition is not effective, misinterpretations of hydrogeological data may appear. The proposed solution consists in creating a domain‐specific standard for the hydrogeological information exchange, using recent geomatics advances, taking into consideration appropriate ISO/TC211 and Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) geographic information standards. Such a new electronic carrier of hydrogeological information facilitates a dialogue between interested parties using web services and inbuilt exchange mechanisms, interdisciplinary collaboration, and international harmonization of environmental sciences.
