EarthResourceML/INSPIRE Mineral Resources data models and ERML Lite: Data Standards to Deliver Mineral Resources Data EU and Globally

The European Plate Observing System (EPOS) project is currently approaching the end of year three of its four-year Implementation Phase 2015-19 (EPOS-IP). Under the Horizon 2020 Programme INFRADEV-3, the EPOS cyberinfrastructure is being established as an ERIC (European Research Infrastructure Consortium) and encompasses the implementation of both the EPOS Integrated Core Services (ICS) for solid Earth Science and a multitude of EPOS Thematic Core Services (TCS). During year three of the project, the first basic set of already implemented ICS and TCS services went through internal and external validation. So far, a significant number of TCSs have integrated Data, Data Products, Services and Software (DDSS) of different Service Providers, which are now accessible to their specific scientific community.

As one of the 29 awardees of the EC grant, the German Research Center for Geosciences (GFZ) plays an important role in the implementation of EPOS and its Thematic and Integrated Core Services. The presented poster will give an overview of GFZ's participation in the work of nine technical EPOS Work Packages (WP7 ICS Development, WP8 Seismology, WP11 Volcano Observations, WP12 Satellite Data, WP13 Geomagnetic Observations, WP14 Anthropogenic Hazards, WP15 Geological Information and Modelling, WP16 Multi-Scale Laboratories and WP17 Geo Energy Test Beds) as well as in four administrative EPOS Work Packages (WP2 Communication, WP3 Harmonization, WP4 Legal & Governance, and WP5 Financial).
