Abstract

During the past few years, a large amount of geological information relating to Tyne and Wear County in N.E. England has been collected as part of a large mapping project. To cope with all this information, which is mainly in the form of borehole logs, a data system incorporating a databank and complementary documentation plans has been set up. The reasons for the particular system, and the methods used in forming it are set out.

Résumé

Au cours des derniéres années, de très nombreauses informations d'ordre géologique concernant le Comté du “Tyne and Wear” ont été rassemblées dans le cadre d'un vaste projet cartographique. Pour mettre en ordre toutes ces informations, qui se présentent principalement sous forme de coupes de sondages, un système de données comprenant une banque des données et des plans documentaires complémentaires, a été mis en place. L'article expose les raisons du choix du système et les méthodes utilisées pour le mettre en place.
