Geoscience after IT Part I. A view of the conventional geoscience information system

Abstract

-We need a strategy to cope with fundamental changes in our ways of working, based on a clear view of what we do and why. A systems view is essential to relate each part to the whole. This model of the geoscience information system should take into account: the need to separate data and process to enable reuse; the modes of thought of the geoscientist and how memory orders our thoughts; the shared geoscience record (knowledge base) and its interface with users; how ideas are linked as a network; how knowledge is organized; how a general overview can be maintained and linked to detail; how projects relate business objectives to the knowledge base and incentives keep the system alive.

Bağırkaçdere (Çanakkale) Pb-Zn Yatağı’nın 3B Cevher Blok Modellemesi

“…Yeraltının modellenmesi için birçok özel bilğisayar proğramı maden arama, madencilik ve petrol ve ğaz endüstrilerinde ğeliştirilmiştir. Madencilik sektörü, ğenellikle büyük miktarlarda sondaj verilerine dayanarak, coğrafi ve cevher kütlelerinin mekansal modellenmesine odaklanmıştır (Turner, 1992;Houldinğ, 1994;Loudon, 2000). Veri interpolasyon teknikleri ve cevherin 3B modellemesi de dahil, madenlerin ğörselleştirilmiş 3B jeolojik modellemesi ile ilğili daha önceden ğerçekleştirilmiş birçok çalışma bulunmaktadır (örn.…”

Ontology spectrum for geological data interoperability

“…Interoperability is essential for efficient information retrieval and knowledge discovery in studies and applications using geological data (cf. Loudon, 2000; study of being in philosophy. Ontologies have been extensively studied to address data interoperability issues in different knowledge or scientific domains, such as genetics (Ashburner, 2000), geographical information (Frank, 2001), soil classification (Rossiter, 2007), and solar-terrestrial physics (Fox et al, 2009), etc.…”

“…Compared to hierarchically organized concepts (or terms) expressed in a natural language, a coding system is a simpler representation of concepts in a knowledge domain (Loudon, 2000;Deissenboeck and Pizka, 2006;. Codes use short abbreviations to represent information defined by concepts or terms (Mori, 1995;Cimino, 1998).…”

“…Ontologies, as shared conceptualizations of domain knowledge (Gruber, 1995;Guarino, 1997b), can help to improve the interoperability of geological data and facilitate the transformation of geological data into geological knowledge in the cyber-infrastructure (Loudon, 2000;Brodaric and Gahegan, 2006;Galton, 2009;Reitsma et al, 2009). There are several forms of geological ontology with varying semantic richness (i.e., precision of meanings of concepts and relationships between concepts).…”
