Currently deployed services are using the 0.4 version, and will validate against the newer v0.5 schema. A new Mineral Recovery Brines layer has been added to the 0.5 version.

SLDs (Styled Layer Descriptors) can be downloaded from the State Geothermal Data Repository. The Rock Chemistry model provides multi-feature web services represented by multiple layers. Thus, there are separate legends, each associated with a layer. Symbols were chosen arbitrarily.

This is a data interchange content model for an observation of the chemical composition of whole rock samples, including trace elements, gases, and isotopes. SamplingFeatureURI gives a unique identifier describing the geologic unit/formation described by the record, while ParentSampleURI indicates the unique identifier for the parent of the sample used in the analysis. Several 'suites' of analytes representing common analysis results are defined, with the intention that an implementation of the content model would offer several observation feature types, each of which consists of the header fields combined with the analytes for a suite. A content type for reporting results for a single analyte is also proposed, with an abbreviated header. In this approach a single analysis result is delivered as a collection of observation records, each with the same AnalysisURI and reporting single analyte. Suites were developed to match those in the EarthChem deployed services.

RockChemistryAnalysis-Basic contains fields for information used to discover and retrieve chemical analyses meeting various criteria, and to evaluate the reported results. These fields would be reported along with a collection of analytes from the different suites proposed on the suites table.
