The 1:625k DiGMap data covering the whole of the United Kingdom is available in this OGC WMS service for all uses - including commercial use subject to the conditions in the Access Constraints section. It is being served as a contribution to the OneGeology initiative (www.onegeology.org). Bedrock geology layers are available in this service. Layers available for bedrock are age and lithology. In this service these are attributed and coloured according to INSPIRE standards for age and lithology. For information about more of the British Geological Survey's maps that are available digitally please visit http://www.bgs.ac.uk/products/digitalmaps/digmapgb.html
Available map layers (9)
Geologic Faults (GE.GeologicFault)
MappedFeature (spatial objects) whose specification property is of type ShearDisplacementStructure. This is a group layer which contains the layers falling under the definition that has been created to comply wiht INSPIRE Layer naming conventions.
GBR BGS 1:625k INSPIRE Faults (gsmlp:GBR_BGS_625k_MSF_INSP)
GBR BGS 1:625k scale Bedrock Faults using INSPIRE Faults classification.
Geologic Units (GE.GeologicUnit)
MappedFeature (spatial objects) whose specification property is of type GeologicUnit. This is a group layer which contains the layers falling under the definition that has been created to comply wiht INSPIRE Layer naming conventions.
GBR BGS 1:625k Bedrock INSPIRE Age (gsmlp:GBR_BGS_625k_BA_INSP)
GBR BGS 1:625k scale Bedrock Age using INSPIRE GeochronologicAge classification.
GBR BGS 1:625k Bedrock INSPIRE Lithology (gsmlp:GBR_BGS_625k_BLT_INSP)
GBR BGS 1:625k scale Bedrock Lithology using INSPIRE Lithology classification.

INSPIRE Schema v3.0 Mapped Feature (ge:MappedFeature)
-- Definition -- A spatial representation of a GeologicFeature. -- Description -- A MappedFeature is part of a geological interpretation. It provides a link between a notional feature (description package) and one spatial representation of it, or part of it (exposures, surface traces and intercepts, etc) which forms the specific bounded occurrence, such as an outcrop or map polygon.
GeoSciML v3.2 Mapped Feature (gsml:MappedFeature)
A MappedFeature is part of a geological interpretation. It provides a link between a notional feature (description package) and one spatial representation of it, or part of it. (Exposures, Surface Traces and Intercepts, etc) * the specific bounded occurrence, such as an outcrop or map polygon * the Mapped Feature carries a geometry or shape - the association with a Geologic Feature (legend item) provides specification of all the other descriptors - the association with a Sampling Feature provides the context and dimensionality A Mapped Feature is always associated with some sampling feature - e.g. a mapping surface, a section, a Borehole (see BoreHolesAndObservation) etc. As noted on the diagram, if the associated sampling feature is a Borehole, then the shape associated with the MappedFeature will usually be either a point or an interval. This reconciles the 2-D ("map", section) and 1-D (borehole, traverse) viewpoints in a common abstraction.
