Abstract

A great number of geological research data have been produced by individually conducted researchers and then personally stored in domestic universities and research institutes. However, it is difficult to share data with other researchers owing to low and limited accessibility. The purpose of this study is to systematically establish metadata for inaccessible data, to manage them collectively and to provide opportunities for utilizing the data to those who require efficient research methods. Approximately 1,000 geological specimens (900 rocks and fossils, 100 thin sections) were gathered, along with their metadata such as high-resolution photographs, classification, name, owner, address, and geographical coordinates of the sample site, to establish their features. Additionally, 3D modeling data for 100 rocks and fossils were generated. On the basis of this study, it is possible for researchers to access and share crucial geological data that have a high potential to be lost and have been neglected in restricted spaces; by avoiding the wasted time, energy, and costs caused by repetitive collection of data, researchers may perform effective research and achieve qualified and competitive research results. Moreover, vulnerable and important geological data in the field can be protected from damage caused by indiscriminate, repetitive collection of specimens that have previously been secured. Through the establishment of additional metadata concerning the diversity of rocks, fossils, and thin sections kept at other universities and research institutes, much more data can be recognized, leading to advanced research results. Furthermore, specialized comparison and analysis of basic mineralogy and petrology knowledge are anticipated, based on the use of the metadata.

국내에는 독자적으로 연구가 수행되어 개인적으로 보관 중인 지질 연구 자료가 다량 존재하는데, 이 자료에 대한 접근성이 떨어지기 때문에 다른 연구자들과의 공유가 용이하지 않다. 이런 자료에 대한 메타데이터를 체계적으로 구축하고 총괄적으로 관리하여 이 자료를 필요로 하는 연구자들이 효과적으로 연구를 수행할 수 있는 기회를 제공하는 것이 이 연구의 목적이다. 국내에서 연구된 약 1000여개의 지질 시료(900여개의 암석과 화석 시료, 100여개의 박편 시료)를 수집하였고, 각 시료의 고화질 사진, 분류, 시료명, 보유기관, 산지, 좌표, 특징 등에 대한 메타데이터를 구축하였다. 암석과 화석 시료 100개에 대해 추가적으로 3D 모델링을 수행하였다. 이 연구를 통해 유실되거나 방치되는 중요한 지질 자료에 대한 연구자들의 접근성이 높아지고 자료의 공유가 가능해진다. 따라서 연구자들은 반복적인 연구 자료 수집 작업으로 인한 시간과 비용의 낭비를 줄일 수 있고, 효율적인 연구를 수행하여 경쟁력을 갖춘 연구 결과를 획득할 수 있다. 또한 이미 확보된 시료에 대한 무분별한 반복 채집으로 인해 중요한, 그리고 피해에 취약한 자료가 훼손되는 것을 방지할 수 있다. 향후 전국의 대학과 연구기관에서 보관중인 다양한 암석과 박편 시료에 대한 메타데이터를 추가로 구축하면 자료의 식별 및 진전된 연구가 가능하고, 더불어 전문적인 광물학 및 암석학의 기초 지식에 대한 비교와 분석을 기대할 수 있다.
