From Use Cases to DecisionsDatasets, System Design etc. Mikael Pedersen, GEUS – WP2 leader Katy Lee, BGS – WP3 leader EGDI-Scope Full Consortium Meeting, Vienna 28th April 2014
General Considerations • Why develop an EGDI? • To make a sustainable platform for European geological datasets and information • Why develop use cases? • To ensure usability of the future EGDI -> Usability is key to sustainability! • What do users request? • Easy accessible and reliable data and information • Intuitive functionality • What do users not have today? • Answers to many basic questions needing geological data.
How have use cases contributed • Have provided clearer picture of use situations • Have provided insight into issues dealt with by past European project • Have provided requirements for • Data • Functionality • System design and operation
Stakeholders TowardsUse Cases • Energy minerals / resources • Shale gas, oil shale, shale oil • Solid fuel minerals • Oil and gas • Gas hydrates • Non-Energy minerals / resources • Metals • Industrial minerals • Construction materials Themes Geology • Other natural resources • Freshwater • Soils • Seas and oceans • Other • Geothermal • CCS • Secondary raw materials and waste • Urban • Climate change • Aquifers • Ecosystems • Higher-res geological maps • 3D geology • Marine • Geochemistry • Radioactive waste • Land use Raw Materials Prioritisation Geohazards • Geohazards • Earthquakes • Volcanoes • Flooding • Subsidence • Landslides • Erosion • Mining • Geochemical: Radon, Mercury… Water Partners Soil
From Use Case to Implementation Plan
Datasets for phase 1 Geology • OneGeologyEurope 1: 1 million surface geology • OneGeologyEurope 1:1 million bedrock • EMODnet-Geology I - 1:1 million substrate map Mineral Resources • Promine dataset on mineral deposits,anthropogenicconcentration layers, mineral potential maps, predictive maps • EuroGeoSource dataset on mineral occurrences and mines • -> Minerals4EU & EURare
Datasets for phase 1 Water Resources • Hydrogeological map of Europe (IHME) 1: 1.5 million. • Aquifer Typologies for hydrochemical characterization (BRIDGE project) Geohazards • PanGeo ground stability polygons, geohazard descriptions and associated PSI data Soil • Geochemical distribution maps based on GEMAS • Soil/parent material map?
(Present ) List of Use Cases / 2 Geology • A geologistcreating a geologicalmap of the Alps for an excursion • A geology student making a mapshowing the distribution of Archaean rocks in Europe • A consultant wanting to evaluate and download the marine substratemap from a specific offshore area. Mineral Resources • A geologistpreparing a report of the best REE deposits in Europe for the Commission • An Internet user wanting an overview of the largest REE deposits in Europe
(Present ) List of Use Cases / 2 Water Resources • The EEA assessing the groundwaterchemical status based on naturalbackgroundlevels of pollutants Geohazards • A localauthority planner assessinginhabitedareas in risk of subsidence Superficialdeposits • The EEA wanting to download the 1GE+ geologicalmap of Europe for ecosystemmappingusing desktop GIS applications • The EEA wanting to assess the effect of Phosphorous in superficialdeposits on certain European ecosystems
Example: Mineral Resources Decision Makers The General Public Expert Users
Geological Service –Data Infrastructure or Information System? 3 2 1 Geological Service Knowledge Base Pool of Experts ?
Conclusions • The use cases support the concept of a European Geological Information System • But…. • An underlying data infrastructure will probably be needed in some cases
