2. CYBERINFRASTRUCTURE FOR THE GEOSCIENCES www.geongrid.org Project Goals To ask meaningful questions – and do ‘new science’ To retrieve and analyze data from disparate sources in order to address those questions. To produce a controlled vocabulary that can be applied to metamorphic and tectonic processes to assist in the goals above.

24. CYBERINFRASTRUCTURE FOR THE GEOSCIENCES www.geongrid.org Near term Goals Continue to develop a GIS-like system to relate tabular and spatial data beyond maps. This can give textural context to published (and other) data, from the mineral and thin section scale to outcrop and regional scale.

25. CYBERINFRASTRUCTURE FOR THE GEOSCIENCES www.geongrid.org Near term Goals Develop a GIS-like system to relate tabular and spatial data beyond maps. maps integrated with chemical analyses, ages, etc. hand sample images integrated with SEM images, analyses, x-ray maps, etc. as well as with the geological maps.
