Web Services

PetDB's Web Feature Service (WFS) allows any OGC-enabled client to access the analytical data for samples in PetDB. WFS is currently under construction and will be available shortly, we are sorry for any inconveniences.

EarthChem XML

The EarthChem Portal serves PetDB data published in a standard XML and served via XML-based web services.

An XML schema has been developed as part of the EarthChem project to publish Geochemical data. The schema includes metadata such as location, reference, etc., chemical data, and controlled vocabularies (ontologies) for validation. The schema is available on-line at the following URL.
