Discussion Session -- Content and Data Structure for 3D geologic "maps"
This was a general-information session, which we hope will contribute to some convergence of thought on how data are managed. Topics discussed included: What types of content are common, in our 3D databases? Which are free text, which are standardized? How do we publish and archive 3D data?
Moderated by Don Keefer (Illinois State Geological Survey), William M. Andrews Jr. (Kentucky Geological Survey), and Dave Soller (U.S. Geological Survey)
