Borehole locations
Background
The national Geological Surveys (SGD) of the Federal Republic of Germany are responsible for data storage, processing and transmission of information on regional drillings. Each drilling has to be notified to the respective Geological Survey as required by the "Lagerstättengesetz" (deposit law). The web portal Borehole viewer of Germany was created to give an overview of all borehole data available in Germany. For every drilling the portal contains header data making possible the research for boreholes everywhere in Germany. A contact-form offers the possibility to order borehole data of selected drillings from the competent authorities.
NOTES
|
The restrictions result from specific regional regulatory frame works as well as from the use of the BoreholeML exchange format. The federal states operate with individual data formats which can be exchanged and used interorable only due to BoreholeML. The German borehole map is an example for a joint application made possible by the conversion of different source data into the common BoreholeML exchange format.
