A comment by Peter Davenport about
Good day from Calgary. My name is Peter Davenport, and for the past year I have been leading the geoscientific data management team at the Calgary Division of the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC-C). This Division is focused primarily on the sedimentary basins of western and northern Canada and their hydrocarbon resources. Prior to Calgary I was head of the Geochemistry, Geophysics and Terrain Sciences Section of the Geological Survey of Newfoundland and Labrador. My own speciality is applied geochemistry, and the application of systematic geochemical mapping to mineral exploration and environmental issues. I have recently acquired the ?part-time? role of chairing the Canadian Geoscience Data Model Working Group (CGDMWG), working under the auspices of the National Geological Surveys Committee, which is made up of the Directors of Canada?s federal, provincial and state surveys. The mandate of CGDMWG is to coordinate and recommend on the development of a comprehensive data model to support Internet access to Canada?s distributed geoscience data holdings. The working group is very interested in the NADM as a possible central component for this data model. I look forward to meeting all of you who will be in Lexington next week.
