AASG Geothermal Data: Borehole Lithology intercept log feature template
1.1
This workbook contains the BoreholeLithIntercept content model that specifies content elements
for an interchange format for lithology log intercepts associated with a borehole. Fields in the
BoreholeLithIntercept Content model will become XML elements in interchange documents for
WFS simple features served by AASG-geothermal-data web services. Each intercept feature has a
depth coordinate measured from the ground surface along the well bore (convention for
interoperability) and a geologic unit specified that will be identical with the content associated
with contacts on a geologic map. Other sheets in the workbook provide additional explanatory
material and provide information on the origin of the dataset, its review and lineage.

Notes
A lithology intercept identifies a geologic feature at some depth within a borehole and can be associated with a contact at the e
surface (on a geologic map).
There are many fields in this template, and only the pink columns are required. Microsoft Excel outlining has been used to grou
related columns (which share the same color background for the column headings.) The outlining controls (at the top of the
spreadsheet) may be used to collapse unused columns so they don't clutter the spreadsheet with empty columns. Users are in
group columns they will not use to hide them.

Column headings are color coded to group them into related fields for convience.
