Data Exchange in Geotechnical Engineering
Mon, Aug 09, 2010 @ 02:00 PM - 04:00 PM
Sonny Astani Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Oral Defense by: Nazila Mokarram, Ph.D. Candidate, Astani Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, USCAbstract:Although geotechnical information is obtained from rather costly drilling and laboratory operations, they are poorly documented and curated, due to lack of adoptable standards for data handling. This study develops a requirement list for data exchange format based on the advantages and shortcomings of past efforts and the community specific needs. After careful analysis of geotechnical data, an XML-based data organization is proposed. Then the proposed format is used in examples of data generation and modification, data validation, data exchange, and archive and distribution via World Wide Web. To show the improvements of the new data exchange format over the previous formats, the proposed data format is evaluated by comparing its capabilities with the requirement list developed early in the study. At the end, metadata modeling is proposed as an added layer over data exchange for future work.
