Summary:

The geological sciences now being informed by new information technologies, researchers from both fields propose how they can become more relevant to societal concerns. Their topics include ontological relation and spatial reasoning in earth science ontologies, grid quality optimization in analyzing cone penetration testing data, the role and development of a persistent interoperability test bed for geosciences research, data provenance for preserving digital geoscience data, and theoretical foundations of the event bush method.
