Table 1. Components of Arizona Geological Survey Information System.
|Component Name |Function |Status (8/29/01) |
|MetaData |Stores basic information about people, projects, organizations, the |implemented |
| |DataSet catalog, system development metadata | |
|Arizona Rock Unit Lexicon |Stores definition and default descriptions of rock units used for |Designed, implemented, not populated|
| |geologic mapping in Arizona. Based on USGS geologic name lexicon and AZGS| |
| |AzStrat [R.A.Trapp, unpublished] | |
|Arizona Geologic Bibliography |Stores bibliography of published literature concerning Arizona geology |Implemented, populated, in |
| |[Trapp et al., 1996] |maintenance |
|Geologic Map |Stores map legend definitions, and map view definitions. This component |Default map visualization |
| |may have multiple instances specific to particular geologic data sets or |implemented and in use. |
| |projects. | |
|Cartography Infrastructure |Stores definitions and descriptions of graphical elements used to |Implemented, partially populated |
| |construct geologic maps, along with default legend for symbolizing | |
| |standard map units and features. | |
|Rock Samples |Stores information locating and describing rock samples collected in the |Implemented, partially populated |
| |field for geochronology, geochemistry, representative lithology, etc. | |
|Geochronology |Stores detailed analytical information for isotopic age dates. |Implemented, populated based on |
| | |Reynolds et al. [1986], data |
| | |structure not finalized |
|Geochemistry |Stores analytical data for whole rock, trace element, and isotopic |Planned |
| |analyses of rocks. | |
|Geoscience Infrastructure |Stores basic geoscience terminology Classification Concepts, definitions |Designed and implemented, some |
| |and descriptions of standard mineral and lithology terms, and the |tables partially populated |
| |standard geologic time scale used by AZGS (GSA, DNAG, Palmer, 1983). Data| |
| |in this component database is not specific to a location, and applies to | |
| |all geologic data sets. | |
|Geoscience Descriptions |Set of table templates for description of geologic features specific to |Designed, implemented, not populated|
| |individual geologic datasets. | |
