The DIGGS project consists of a GML/XML-based standard schema for the transfer of geotechnical and geoenvironmental data within an organization or between multiple organizations, plus supporting resources, such as code list dictionaries an validation tools. DIGGS can work with existing software, hardware, databases and data storage facilities to easily transfer and share your data. Once implemented by your organization, the DIGGS data transfer standard will help meet your needs for information and data asset management. It is anticipated that DIGGS will save state and federal agencies, and other public and private organizations millions of dollars. Savings will be realized through a combination of avoided drilling and laboratory testing costs, and efficiencies afforded by the availability of geotechnical data for multiple projects in a standard format.

DIGGS is a Special Project of the American Society of Civil Engineers Geo-Institute. (Project home page)
