Setting up a geologic data web map service involves the following steps:
- Map your source data from its original schema to the GeoSciML-Portrayal schema; this step can be further broken down into the following sub-steps
- Map existing content fields to corresponding GeoSciML-Portrayal schema elements
- Determine controlled vocabulary terms for lithology and age to assign for each map unit
- Load data from the original database format to tables or files required by the server software used to deploy the web service
- Establish symbology for lithostratigraphic polygon portrayal that can be used by the map server
- Deploy your web service, create metadata for dataset and service.
