Installing BGS OpenGeoscience Data Model for Boreholes

on Oracle and MS Access database

By Edy Irnandi

Overview
BGS OpenGeoscience Data Models (OGDM) aim to provide open,
ready-to-use database designs that are free for all. The following
geoscientific topics are just some of the designs that are available:
Borehole index

Landslides

Borehole interpretations

Lithostratigraphical lexicon

Collections management

Geochemistry

Hydrogeology

Rock classification

Implementation examples are available for the following database


platform: Oracle, MS Access, MS SQL Server, MySQL and PostgreSQL

Overview Contd
OGDM for Borehole is the first database design package to be
released. This data model is designed to represent an index of
boreholes linked to their geological interpretations and associated
meta-data.
BGS OGDM for Boreholes can be downloaded from BGS website
http://www.bgs.ac.uk/services/dataModels/borehole.html
The following example given, on how to install OGDM for Boreholes
for Oracle and MS Access database on Windows environment.

Extract the BGS OGDM for Borehole Oracle scripts to a staging folder on your local PC
Run/execute the BGS OGDM for Borehole Oracle scripts (note that the scripts are
compatible with version 10g ,and also tested with version 11g ), the 2 scripts are:
1) CreateDB_Oracle_v1_0.sql ,and 2) InsertScripts_Oracle_v1_0.sql

Validate results by submitting the following SQL command:


There are 23 tables created and prepopulated records for each table.

Validate results, by querying to main table(s) to see pre-populated record on it, e.g.
query to table BHD_INDEX ,heres the SQL Command: sql> select * from BHD_INDEX;

Installing BGS OGDM for Boreholes on MS Access


Follow the steps below to install BGS OGDM for Boreholes on MS Access:
Download & install MS Office Professional Plus 2013 trial version from Technet
evaluation center https://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/evalcenter/jj192782.aspx
or if you have already had MS Access installed on your Windows system then to go
to the next step.
Extract the BGS OGDM for Borehole MS Access to a staging folder on your local PC
