nvcl_kit: Access AuScope National Virtual Core Library (NVCL) data services

nvcl_kit is a Python package that provides access to Australia's NVCL (National Virtual Core Library). This is a national database of drill cores that have been analysed by the CSIRO-developed HyLogger hyperspectral core-scanning system. The Hylogger system uses visible and near-infrared, shortwave and thermal infrared reflectance spectroscopy and automatic mineralogical analysis to extract mineralogy data from each drill core.\n\nThe mineralogy data is maintained by Australia's State and Territory geological surveys and can be accessed via publicly available web services. nvcl_kit combines these services with OCG WFS borehole data to provide a complete picture of each borehole. It is designed to shield the user from the arcane details of how to establish connections, retrieve and combine datasets.
