OneGeology: The OneGeology project can be accessed from http://www.onegeology.org/ Its goal is to create dynamic links to geological map data being served from the International Geological Surveys and other organisations via standardised interfaces. The key underpinning standard is GeoSciML

Observations & Measurements ML: is an OGC Standard and is progressing to become an ISO Standard. An editing committee meeting is scheduled for the upcoming ISO/TC211 meeting next month which will hopefully progress O&M to Draft International Standard stage. Current version of O&M is located http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/om but this will be updated once the ISO Standard is approved.

SensorML is an OGC Standard and is used by numerous communities (eg. Defence/Intelligence, Emergency Management, Environmental Monitoring, Marine, Hydrology etc). The OGC has ongoing activities to improve its suite of Sensor Standards via its Interoperability Testbed programs. http://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/sensorml

Virtual core library project in Australia http://www.auscope.org.au/category.php?id=12&PHPSESSID=ff46054589a1b8b18fdad08329c2c697 and https://twiki.auscope.org/twiki/bin/view/CoreLibrary/WebHome. There is a good summary of the project on http://www.auscope.org.au/res/file/downloads/core_library/NVCL_brochure.pdf. The project aims to capture hyperspectral and photographic logs of drill core and make them accessible over the web via a virtual core library. Currently it is mainly being run by the minerals sectors of the Australian Geological Surveys. However, in Australia, APPEA is watching the development of this project with keen interest as it does have enormous potential for the Petroleum Industry.
