Global geological map of Venus

The surface area of Venus ( 460 10 km) is 90% of that of the Earth. Using Magellan radar image and altimetry data, supplemented by Venera-15/16 radar images, we compiled a global geologic map of Venus at a scale of 1:10 M. We outline the history of geological mapping of the Earth and planets to illustrate the importance of utilizing the dual stratigraphic classification approach to geological m...

In this study, we developed an ontology of geological time scale by using a RDF (Resource Description Framework) model to represent the ordinal hierarchical structure of the geological time scale and to encode collected annotations...
