Inspire-WMS TH Geology

The presentation service provides data on the spatial distribution and storage conditions of rocks at or near the earth’s surface as well as in the deeper underground of the Free State of Thuringia. The data were obtained from the digital geological overview maps of Thuringia in scale 1: 800,000 and 1: 200,000, from the digital geological map Thuringia in scale 1: 25,000 as well as prepared from drilling information for the INSPIRE Annex II topic Geology. The lithostratigraphic names and classifications for rocks used in the maps were assigned to the code lists used in INSPIRE for lithological and chronostratigraphic attributes. The attribute for lithologies (LithologyValue) can be assigned several times according to the INSPIRE data model per geo-object (LithologyValue1 to n). The age of the rocks is described by the chronostratigraphic INSPIRE attributes OlderNamedAgeValue and YoungerNamedAgeValue (maximum or minimum age of rocks). In addition to these INSPIRE attributes harmonised at European level, the original names or abbreviations for the GetFeatureInfo request (description or code) will also be delivered. The representation of the area-wide rocks corresponds to the rules recommended in the INSPIRE data specification (Portrayal Rules) for the maximum age of the rocks (OlderNamedAgeValue). The data was prepared in terms of content and technology for INSPIRE in the Geological Service of the Thuringian State Office for the Environment, Mining and Nature Conservation. The presentation service is provided via the central platform Geoproxy of the GDI-Th. For technical and legal questions, please contact the contact persons mentioned in the metadata.
