ABSTRACT: Water data networks consist of autonomous and distributed data sources that are linked via common standards and technologies. Examples include the Canadian and US groundwater monitoring networks, as well as the water information system for Europe. Data standards play a key role in such linkages, as they identify the types of data to be shared and provide a common format for data exchange. GroundwaterML2 (GWML2) is a new international standard for groundwater data, developed under the Open Geospatial Consortium family of hydrologic data standards. GWML2 is used to enable sharing of information about aquifers, wells, groundwater monitoring, and related entities within North America, and in Europe and Australasia.

RÉSUMÉ: liées via des technologies et des normes communes. Les réseaux de surveillance des États-Unis et du Canada ou le système Les normes sur les données jouent un rôle clé dans de telles interconnexions identifient les types de données qui peuvent être partagées et fournissent des formats communs pour les échanger. GroundwaterML2 (GWML2 : langage de balisage sur les eaux souterraines) est une nouvelle norme internationale pour les eaux souterraines, développée au sein de la famille des normes hydrologiques Amérique du Nord, en Europe et Australasie.
