Title

AGS data: Site investigation data received by GSNI from 3rd party organisations in AGS file format

Abstract

Site investigation and geotechnical data received by the Geological Survey of Northern Ireland (GSNI) from 3rd party organisations in AGS file format. This data has been collected under the Northern Ireland Pan Government Collaborative Framework Agreement (www.bgs.ac.uk/gsni/ags/). Once received by GSNI, the data is validated against predefined rules, processed and stored in the AGS agnostic database store. This data is then delivered as received e.g. no interpretative values or observations are added to the data by the GSNI.
