The role of engineering geology in standardization of innovative geological mapping
The ever-growing development of national digital geological cartographic systems emphasizes the need for standardization of geological mapping. This paper presents a synthesis of the two existing approaches, which are of interest as starting points in tremendous process of standardization of innovative geological mapping. As a first relevant issue, a recent example of USGS standardized geological information system for production of stratigraphical maps, is emphasised. In this paper, a general conceptual model of the data base content and structure is shortly presented, considering main concepts related to standardization of geological mapping procedures and geological terminology. As a second relevant issue, there is the traditional engineering geological mapping. Its importance lies in abundance of engineering geological standards and recommendations, which could be directly applied to custom-oriented geological mapping. Therefore, the goal of analyses of engineering geological mapping is to extract the main issues of engineering geological mapping related to standardization of modern geological cartography. The main contribution of this paper is to address necessary extensions of digital geological cartographic data bases with engineering geological data which are required for production of wide spectrum of geological custom-oriented maps from the same geological information system.
