The GeoSciML project was initiated in 2003, under the auspices of the CGI working group on Data Model Collaboration. The project is part of what is now known as the CGI Interoperability Working Group.
GeoSciML accommodates the short-term goal of representing geoscience information associated with geologic maps and observations, as well as being extensible in the long-term to other geoscience data. It draws from many geoscience data model efforts, and from these establishes a common suite of feature types based on geological criteria (units, structures, fossils) or artefacts of geological investigations (specimens, sections, measurements). Supporting objects are also considered (timescale, lexicons, etc), so that they can be used as classifiers for the primary
