This ontology defines a specialised class of the SOSA Ontology's ObservableProperty - a Geological Property. This is an Observable Property that can be found on Geological Features of Interest.
Ontological properties of a Geological Property are described using a combination of the constructes from the SOSA, SWEET and QUDT Ontologies, thus this ontology is a profile of those three ontologies.
This ontology will soon be visible online at its namespace URI location:
These diagrams overview this ontology and its relations to others such as QUDT.

Data that conforms to this ontology - instances of Geological Properties - will be published by the Geological Survey of Queensland in the first half of 2020.
This repository contains both the machine-readable ontology file in the RDF Turtle format, geoprops.ttl, and an HTML web page version of it for people to use geoprops.html. The HTML web page is generated semi-automatically from the RDF file and will soon be displayed online at this ontology's namespace location indicated above.
