Ontology and Knowledgebase of Fractures and Faults

Resource for finding information about fractures and faults, contains about 1,000 classes.

From the abstract: "A valuable resource for finding information about fractures and faults, for geologists and students. Some high level classes in our ontology include geological structure, deformation mechanism, and property or factor. Contains about 1,000 classes, referencing about 150 articles or textbook and supplemented by about 350 photographs, diagrams, and illustrations. With limited time and resources, we chose a simple application for our ontology - transforming to a knowledgebase made of a series of web pages. Each web page corresponds to one class in the ontology, having discussion, figures, links to subclass and related concepts, as well as references."
