Version 0.5 Schema

All currently deployed services currently use the 0.5 schema, and this schema is recommended for current use.

Version 0.7 has been submitted for NGDS technical team review, and the Excel workbook has been adopted for NGDS partner projects and posted on the NGDS web site resources/public documents section.

This package contains both an Excel spreadsheet and an accompanying personal geodatabase (PGD) for data delivery of a Geothermal Area dataset (polygons). Design is focused on providing characteristics of sites identified as having geothermal potential. Geothermal area content for the state geothermal data system is intended as a tool to identify areas that may be associated with geothermal resource potential. Thus, the content model does not include specific measurements/data collection information that would be important for analysis; such information should be accessed by querying other related data sets in the area of interest such as borehole temperature observation services, thermal conductivity services, and published reports.

The deliverable is the personal geodatabase containing the geometry information.

This template defines the content model for a service that delivers geothermal area polygon features. These data will have general information about land ownership, temperature characterization, geologic setting and information source. The Geothermal Area template is designed to be used for data compilation from maps and field data. The content model presented here is intended to present key information necessary to query a geothermal areas service and to evaluate/investigate geothermal potential.
