9. © Kristine Asch, BGR Bundesanstalt fürFederal Institute for Geowissenschaften Geosciences und Rohstoffe and Natural Resources Harmonised geology data an attempt of a definition The process by which different characterisations and/or representations are being unified harmonised data e.g. have = the same data model, same descriptions and definitions for ALL data example: IGME 5000 time/effort 12 years for one continent, about 30 years of staff effort, 1, 8 M Euro

Common … and agreed … topography Is there a global spatial topographic dataset in 1 : 5 M similar to he 1 :1 Million global map data model, term dictionaries, hierarchies project language (English, Chinese, French, German?) Implementation specifications, i.e. Guidelines how to do it scientific review system management, project leader, working groups … funding

Common … and agreed topography Is there a 1 : 5 M global spatial topographic dataset ? agree to use a conceptual data model for data exchange, approved by the internatiional Geocommunity (IUGS) (as ML = GeoSciML) language (English, Chinese, French, German?)
