SEGJ Technical Conference


On the suggested standard format of geophysical data for their archives in future (Part III)


Abstract
The SEGJ Digital Standard Format Consortium has collaboratively worked in 2009 and 2010 with the Public Works Research Institute for proposing the digital standard formats of geophysical data. XML-based formats for presenting 2D geophysical profiles were proposed for the seismic refraction method, the surface wave method and the electrical method. In 2011 and 2012, the Consortium had continued to discuss about the standard format of geophysical data including a profile for their archives for reuse of the data in future and proposed the standard data formats for eight geophysical methods, 1) seismic refraction method, 2) seismic reflection method, 3) surface wave method, 4) microtremor array measurements, 5) PS logging, 6) electrical method, 7) capacitively-coupled resistivity method and 8) electromagnetic method. Although the drafts of these data formats were already reported in the past SEGJ meetings, the drafts of the standard format of geophysical data are again described in this paper for promoting understanding of those in the SEGJ members.
