Karstlink ontology

The Karstlink ontology is the subject of votes which are organized from the list of members of the "Karstlink" mailing list. Not everyone who votes participates in the development of the ontology. A first vote was organized in 2020, other votes will be organized. The people indicated contributed directly to the development of the ontology

Australia Peter Matthews, Australia Mike Lake, France Eric Madelaine, France Frédéric Urien, France Jean-Marc Janel, Angus Sawyer. Artificial caves types from Mario Parise, Carla Galeazzi, Roberto Bixio and Martin Dixon

Karst surface symbols

The Karst Surface Map Symbols Project developed the symbols list over several years, also in consultation with the Karst Commission of the International Geographical Union (IGU) and the International Association of Hydrogeologists (IAH). Final voting by the Project Country Delegates was in May 2006.

Survey symbols

The Survey and Mapping Sub-commission completed its work on Basic Cave Mapping Symbols in May 1999. The now standard symbols arose from extended discussions by many people, then final voting by the Project Country Delegates.

Artificial cave symbols

HYPOGEA, in March 2015 in Rome (Italy), different symbol sets were proposed and first discussions held. After that followed a compilation of possible symbols on artificial cavities that could be part of an international symbol set. Subsequent discussions of these symbols within both commissions refined the final set in 2022

UIS survey and mapping grades

Originally introduced by BCRA (UK), survey and mapping grades were later adopted by other organizations. The grades assess the precision and accuracy of a given survey, and discuss the methods and materials used. Although these grades are widely known, the UIS has never previously discussed and adopted a grading system. The main debate was held at the 2009 ICS in Kerrville, USA, where it was decided to use the Australian grades as a starting point for discussion. Final voting was completed by the delegates from interested countries in August 2010.
