Currently, services are deployed using version 1.1, which is in review with the working group GDSDPWG.

This workbook contains the BoreholeLithIntercept content model that specifies content elements for an interchange format for lithology log intercepts associated with a borehole. Fields in the BoreholeLithIntercept Content model will become XML elements in interchange documents for WFS simple features served by AASG-geothermal-data web services. Each intercept feature has a depth coordinate measured from the ground surface along the well bore (convention for interoperability) and a geologic unit specified that will be identical with the content associated with contacts on a geologic map. Other sheets in the workbook provide additional explanatory material and provide information on the origin of the dataset, its review and lineage.

This template defines the content model for a service that delivers borehole lithology intercept observations. Many of these will be standard depth to intercept formations, formation name and measurement procedure, but other information may be delivered. Much of the variation will concern procedures used to recorded the information, citations, and possible other collected data that may be useful for geothermal resource research. The content model should be used when compiling geologic data from published reports, databases, logging events and field notes. The content model presented here is intended to present key information necessary to query a lithology intercept observation service and to evaluate the data.
