Geological Information System of Serbia

The goals and functions of GeolISS Geological information system of Serbia (GeolISS) is the basis for storing geological data in digital form, simpler data handling, easier overview of existing data. GeolISS allows interactive query, spatial and other data analysis and provides data, charts and displaying results. Data modeling is inspired by different geological models, among which GeoSciML schema for the exchange of geological data used by CGI IUGS (www.seegrid.csiro.au), NGMDB implementation of USGS and CGS (www.nadm-geo. Org), as well as models proposed by the International Organization for the Standardization of Geographic Information (Geomatics project, ISO TC211, http://www.isotc211.org). The development of GeolISS is an imperative of efficient planning of both research and use of all available geological (mineral) resources of the Republic of Serbia.
