Specification of in- and output data formats and deliverables for commissioned 3D geological models

This document is intended to inform project managers, modellers, business development and delivery team members when preparing bids for externally commissioned 3D geological modelling projects and to reduce risk to BGS. The exact details are likely to be different with each modelling project, especially dependant on the methodological approach taken (Groundhog/GSI3D/GOCAD-SKUA). It is therefore essential to consult with the authors of this document as well as with contracts and IPR before submitting any documents to potential clients. The following sections include statements (in Italics) that may be appropriate for inclusion in modelling-related bids.
