EMODnet Geology Achievements and Mineral Examples for Marine Spatial Data
Explore the achievements of EMODnet Geology in removing obstacles for sharing spatial data, providing easy download options, and utilizing INSPIRE guidelines for mineral examples. Discover the color styles representing marine minerals like phosphorites, evaporites, polymetallic nodules, and more. See how substrate mapping and sea-floor bedrock lithology are handled within the project.

EMODNET GEOLOGY INSPIRE issues and achievements Bjarni Pjetursson bpj@geus.dk EASME/EMFF/2016/1.3.1.2 - EMODnet Lot 1 Geology
Achievements Removing obstacles on sharing spatial data Easy download and overview from portal http://www.emodnet-geology.eu All data products reside in a relational database (PostgreSQL) Data and metadata available using OGC standard protocols (WMS, WFS, CSW) New novel access methods being tested: Direct database access using SQL Organized and published according to common models SLDs (OGC standard for data styling) INSPIRE vocabularies used when possible or as inspiration EASME/EMFF/2016/1.3.1.2 - EMODnet Lot 1 Geology
Minerals examples Phosphorites: Style colour based on INSPIRE minerals guide, Fertiliser minerals . RGB: 0, 0, 255 Outline: Solid Black Evaporites: Style colour based on INSPIRE mineral resources guide, Minerals for chemical use due to their use in detergents, dyes, explosives, ceramics, medicines etc. RGB: 204, 255, 255. Outline: Black Polymetallic Sulphides: Style colour based on INSPIRE mineral resources guide for Base metals As we could choose one style, Lead/Zinc was chosen to represent all minerals associated with PMS s RGB: 153, 204, 255. Outline: Black Polymetallic Nodules: Style colour based on INSPIRE mineral resources guide, Iron and ferro-alloys metals As we could choose one style, the style for Fe, Cr, Mn, V was chosen to represent all minerals associated with polymetallic nodules. RGB: 0, 0, 0. Outline: Black Co FeMn Crust: Style colour based on INSPIRE mineral resources guide Iron and ferro-alloys metals As we could choose one style, the style for Nickle/Cobalt was chosen to represent all minerals associated with Co FeMn Crust. RGB: 0, 128, 0. Outline: Black Metal rich Sediment Style colour based on INSPIRE mineral resources guide Iron and ferro-alloys metals RGB: 255, 0, 0 Rock, pegmatite, vein-hosted Style colour based on INSPIRE mineral resources guide Iron and ferro-alloys metals As we could choose one style, the style for Nickle/Cobalt was chosen to represent all minerals associated with Co FeMn Crust. RGB:204, 255, 204 Outline: Black N/A Style Guide from INSPIRE Data Specifications are summarised in the above diagram. These inform the styles used to depict the spatial distribution of marine minerals Here you can see examples of how INSPIRE style guidelines have informed the styles for most marine minerals. We have chosen the colour and style that represents the most common mineral or element, associated with the specific mineral occurrence EASME/EMFF/2016/1.3.1.2 - EMODnet Lot 1 Geology
Substrate map No useable INSPIRE classification exist It was agreed to follow the Folk sediment classification instead EASME/EMFF/2016/1.3.1.2 - EMODnet Lot 1 Geology
Sea-floor (bedrock) lithology INSPIRE simple lithology http://www.onegeology.org/wmsCookbook/7_4_5.html Also done for geological age. EASME/EMFF/2016/1.3.1.2 - EMODnet Lot 1 Geology
Boreholes/grap samples INSPIRE vocabularies PURPOSE http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/codelist/BoreholePurposeValue EASME/EMFF/2016/1.3.1.2 - EMODnet Lot 1 Geology
Issues INSPIRE compliant metadata difficult to manage o INSPIRE specific metadata in existing software is complicated o Setup and maintenance of existing records is time-consuming INSPIRE vocabularies difficult to sync o Could be online available as a micro-service (JSON) o Could have online SLD available (symbol, color, fill ) EASME/EMFF/2016/1.3.1.2 - EMODnet Lot 1 Geology
