GeoSciML

Materials and documentation have been produced by the Interoperability Working Group (IWG) and are available "as is" for download. We will endeavour to ensure that the most current materials and information relating to GeoSciML are available here.

Although use of GeoSciML is open to the geoscience community, in order to ensure the integrity on the GeoSciML standard across the community the IWG requests that the following points be applied to any work involving GeoSciML:

In developing GeoSciML v2 participating organisations have set up demonstration web services. These can be accessed via the GeoSciML registry. To see the full list of services and information about them click 'CSW Search'. To display a WMS service click 'Add layers' and then 'Search' for a list of available services by country, which can then be selected and displayed. It should be noted these are test services, not production services, so may not always be available.
