Research
Modern geophysical interpretation requires an interdisciplinary approach, particularly when
considering the available amount of 'state of the art' information contained in comprehensive data
bases. A combination of different geophysical surveys employing seismics, gravity and geoelectrics,
together with geological and petrological studies, can provide new insights into the structures and
tectonic evolution of the lithosphere and natural deposits. Interdisciplinary interpretation is essential
for any numerical modeling of these structures and the processes acting on them.
The Science Where IGMAS+ Helped
Semantic search for the Geo sciences
Semantic search stands for the next generation of search technologies beyond keywords. Using knowledge in the form of semantic networks - also known as ontologies - has two significant benefits: the completeness of results is guaranteed and ultra-fast filtering of relevant results becomes possible. Transinsight develops solutions for intelligent semantic searching also for the Geo Sciences.
