IGC 33 – Oslo – Norway - August 2008 > 12 Boreholes in GeoSciML tesbed 3 Use case 2: select geology boreholes available in a 2D bounding box and export them into GeoSciML Use case 3: select geology boreholes with depth greater than ??? meters and intersecting some lithology (for instance, sedimentary rock defined in the CGI simple lithology dictionary in any language english, french, italian)

IGC 33 – Oslo – Norway - August 2008 > 13 Boreholes in GeoSciML tesbed 3 Use case 4: import and export GeoSciML data in applications Applications: import/export geology boreholes available in a 2D bounding box GeoSciML BRGM client : it shows a summary of the selected borehole (lithology, geologic units) GDM (Geological Data Management), BRGM Windows application, imports geology boreholes accessed either from a WFS or an XML file
