Geological maps are increasingly published and shared online, whereas tools and services supporting information retrieval and knowledge discovery are underdeveloped. 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...

The regional engineering geological conditions and geological hazard evaluation is the important part of realizing the railway geological selection, However, the accuracy of the evaluation largely depends on the reliability of basic information and reasonable mathematical model. Remote sensing provides reliable geological information and accurately reflects the geological conditions along the r...

A wide range of methodologies and software applications have been developed to generate 3-Dimensional (3D) geological model data. One of the main open issues is the exchange of these heterogeneous data from different sources, which influences the sharing and integration of 3D geodata. It is also a necessity to take into consideration the semantics of 3D geological data to enable its full exchan...

Stochastic simulation is a popular approach for the quantification of reservoir heterogeneity. From the geological viewpoints, however, the role of reservoir geology in stochastic models is diminishing in recent years. This paper reviews the major characteristics of the stochastic models, and geological knowledge is identified as the major missing element in the current practices of the simulat...
