Open Geoscience Data Models: end of project report

This report describes a three year knowledge exchange project, OpenGeoscience Data Models, which was funded by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) Knowledge Exchange programme. The project was aimed to encourage an open sharing of geoscience data models amongst a community of Geological Survey Organisations (GSOs), industry and academics. The data model is a key part of successful information management because it provides a centralised description of the meaning and inter-relationships of the information.
