Geoscience Australia Vocabularies - Geoscience Database Vocabulary Terms

<div>Geoscience Australia's geoscientific relational databases use look-up tables to describe the data stored within. These look-ups contain, but are not limited to, information about boreholes, field geology, inorganic and organic geochemistry, hydrochemistry, geophysics, rock properties, samples and other general geological terms. These terms have then been compiled into a vocabulary of terms for publication via GA's vocabulary service. Within this vocabulary, GA references where sourced terms are published in external vocabularies with a source vocabulary URI (Uniform Resource Identifier). </div><div><br></div><div>All vocabularies, collections of concepts within vocabularies and individual concepts are identified with URI persistent identifiers of the form:</div><div> http://pid.geoscience.gov.au/def/voc/ga/{VOCABULARY-KEY}/{COLLECTION-OR-CONCEPT-NAME}</div>

Statement

<div>The vocabularies in this document are sourced from look up tables in GA's science databases. A number of the look up tables contain terms that are published in external vocabulary services. Where this is the case, the external vocabulary source and URI to the term are provided. GA is endeavouring to have as many as possible of the controlled terms in its science databases based on externally published vocabularies.</div>
