A global geochemical database structure for rocks
Open accessAbstract
This technical brief describes a geochemical and petrological database structure based on the relational model that has broad applicability to chemical analyses of geological materials. Notable features of the database structure are its comprehensiveness and flexibility. The structure consists of 34 interrelated tables, which can accommodate any type of analytical values for all different materials of rock samples (volcanic glasses, minerals, inclusions, etc.) and for samples from any tectonic setting. A broad spectrum of supplementary information (metadata) is included that describes the quality of the analytical data and sample characteristics, such as petrography, geographical location, and sampling process, and that can be used to evaluate, filter, and sort the chemical data. All data in the database are linked to their original reference. The database structure can be implemented in any relational database management system (RDBMS). It is currently applied in two different rock database projects (RidgePetDB and GEOROC).

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
