RE: MineralDepositTypeValue for review [DLM=For-Official-Use-Only]
Mike....@ga.gov.au
With regard to two of the Terms proposed in the MineralDepositTypeValue_RH-TM;
I am intrigued by the use of the word “laterite”. This is a highly misused and abused term throughout the literature and I cannot help but wonder what a laterite deposit actually is – at least by your (RH-TM) understanding.
I would be grateful if you could explain, at least for my benefit, what a “laterite deposit” is.
For me “laterite” represents a weathering effect – and a host of weathering features which may or may not be present at a specific location. But just how is “laterite deposit” a mineral deposit.
Although I avoid using the term “laterite” because of the confusion it tends to generate, I expect that when you refer to a “lateritic” (bauxite/nickel) you are referring to the weathering process (using laterite (whatever it actually means) as an adjective) that presumably was involved in the mineral deposit (bauxite) generative process.
If you wish to see just how confused the perceptions of this term really are just go to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laterite
If I were pressed quickly to suggest and alternative terms I would prefer to see something like:
1.4 weathering products
1.4.1 residual deposits
1.4.1.1 bauxite (lateritic) – if you really want to refer to the weathering process thought
to be responsible the mineral deposit itself)
1.4.1.2 bauxite (karstic)
1.4.1.3 nickel (lateritic)
1.4.2 transported deposits
1.4.2.1 pisolites (lateritic - gold)
1.4.2.2 pisolites (lateritic - bauxite)

Tim had also uploaded this vocabulary a few weeks ago, here is the formal notification:

Dear GTWG members!
Thanks Mark for your message! I agree your worries about our tight schedule for reviewing process just before Season Break all over the globe! Xmas is coming and now I will do a proposal that only two (Earth Resource Form value and Environmental Impact Value) we will have reviewed and vote before Xmas. Rachel and Tim lists (EarthResourceExpressionValue – EarthResourceShapeValue – EndUsePotentialValue – MineralOccurrenceTypeValue – MiningActivityTypeValue) official message came out 13.12 and there are so many who did not realize that these were actually proposed!! Therefore I will propose a new review schedule to 9.1.2014 for all Rachel and Tim’s lists??? It means that we will have ten vocabularies at the same time ready for vote and finalizing these then!
The rest four lists are as red – hopefully we will have Commodity code proposal ready beginning of this week and then the there are these two ones – really difficult ones - MineralDepositGroupType and Procuct – we will discuss at Minerals4EU project about product code – how to synchronize Commodity/product lists! Hopefully this last one - MineralDepositGroupType could have a proposal soon, which would be comprehensive enough but not too detailed?? If you don’t have notice before – there is a collection of proposal at our google drive Mineral_deposit_type_group_Surveys_Data_Models - > https://drive.google.com/#folders/0B9rsojdRTdw_MUJRcjViZ3NnNGM
TABLE BELOW - LEGEND
You can find all the EarthResourceML v. code lists below ( list name) the there is Status and review period to all code lists and Green row – the first vote row – Earth Resource Form! The final column of table have all the links to shepherds proposals and now I have add Red column to all “Shepherds_proposal” spreadsheets – please add your comments there and you can also sign it like “Ok for me - JIV” like Mark was hoping (a "have had a look and have no changes" response).
I will send update messages to you during the month following – so that all you can follow – what is going ?
Best wishes,
Jouni

Subject: [GTWG-list] [GTWG list] Streamlining the vocabulary review process
Dear GTWG,
I thought I'd add the other current review candidate vocabularies to Rachel's list in due date order below. Keeping track of what vocabularies are in review and when their deadlines are is challenging, at least for me. I may have missed some already here.
I propose the creation of a new folder "VocabulariesForReview" in which ready for review candidates are moved (not copied) from "DraftVocabularies". Once adopted these vocabularies should be moved (not copied) in the existing "AdoptedVocabularies" folder. I also suggest adding the review date to the vocabulary file name e.g. 2013-12-13_earth-resource-form whilst in the "VocabulariesForReview" folder.
To implement this on existing review candidate vocabularies will break the file/page links we've established. Can we first agree on whether to adopt this "VocabulariesForReview" folder and maybe use it for future review candidates? Or is there a better way to keep on track?
Having now been through the review process I was grateful for feedback received on the vocabulary, even it is was a "have had a look and have no changes" response. So please send an email to the shepherd if you've looked at their vocabulary under review, cc the group if you have changes or issues with it or comment directly on to the google spreadsheet so others can see what you've suggested for change,
Thanks,
Mark

Hi Mike
Many thanks for that. Having consulted with our minerals guys here, we think your comments are entirely valid and improve on the previous BGS classification. Deposits of this type are much better known in Australia than in Europe!
