Queensland Geo Features of Interest Dataset

This RDF dataset contains some of the geological Features of Interest (GeoFoIs) of Queensland described and published by the Geological Survey of Queensland.

This dataset considers each GeoFoI to be a specialised form of the SOSA Ontology's Feature of Interest, which allows them to be associated with property obsesrvations.

Each GeoFoI is also considered a specialised form of the GeoSPARQL ontology's Feature class meaning they can be associated with one or more Geometry objects too.

The dataset as a whole is modelled as being a LocI Dataset which is a specialised form of both a DCAT2 Dataset and a VoID Dataset. This means that the dataset is 1. compatible with the Location Index (LocI) Project's notion of a dataset; 2. has standard catalogue metadata (due to DCAT); and 3. has some RDF/graph properties of it described (due to VoID). This dataset can be used with other LocI datasets.

Persistent Identifier

The proposed persistent identifier (PID) for this dataset is:

This PID has been requested from the Australian Government Linked Data Working Group, see the request catalogue entry: http://catalogue.linked.data.gov.au/resource/145.

Data

Currently this API only delivers already public GSQ Structural Framework data, not all of GSQ's Features of Interest but it will grow to include more data over time.

This dataset's features data is all in the single file features.ttl and that is produced using the Python script data-processor.py from the JSON data files in _data/.

The source for this dataset's features so far is the Queensland Globe, so all of the features information is already public.

The dataset-level metadata is available in the following files:

The total dataset, assembled from the 4 files described above, is available in the single file dataset.ttl.

This data is published via a Linked Data API so that the URIs for each item - each feature and the dataset as a whole - will resolve when the persistent URI is allocated (see below). See the API online in test mode:

Model

The model for this data is the the the GSQ's SWEET Geological Features Profile Ontology. So far, only the following classes are used:

  • Geological Feature
    • Province
      • Sub Province
      • Orogen
      • Craton
      • Depression
      • Basin
      • Trough
