Abstract:
Universities and other geological information producers have been suffering the negative effects of a lack of data organization and standardization of their data. The purpose of this work is to create a new spatial geology database and to present a new methodology concept for internal procedures of data acquisition. This proposal follows the precepts of Spatial Data and vector Structure (EDGV), which were approved in 2008 by the National Commission of Cartography (CONCAR), created by the Brazilian government in order to standardize the structure of spatial data, facilitating data sharing, interoperability and rationalization of resources between producers and users of data and cartographic information. This is an important step for developing a geological model database that can be embedded in the context of the National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI/ INDE).
