• Abstract:
  Data Interchange for Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Specialists (DIGGS) is an XML-based system ; developed under a Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) State Pooled Funding Study led by the ; Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) from 2005 to 2012. This system was developed to become ; an industry-standard protocol for transmitting and storing geotechnical and geoenvironmental ; information serving a wide range of public-sector institution and private-sector industry organizations. ; A standard geotechnical data transfer format allows data providers, be it field data collectors, testing ; laboratories, or managers of data stored in a proprietary software, to efficiently serve stakeholders, ; including owners, regulators, engineering consultants, and the broader geotechnical community. Data ; files are produced in an open and consistent format that can then be readily imported, managed, and ; analyzed by stakeholders who require the data for preparing geotechnical boring logs, laboratory test ; summaries, performance monitoring instrumentation reports, and in situ testing profiles and reports. A ; standardized open and consistent format, developed and managed by the geotechnical and ; geoenvironmental community, lessens the burden on software developers and vendors who can now ; write code to perform translations to and from a single data exchange format instead of providing ; support for multiple proprietary and often closed formats. The objectives of this project were to ; complete the Beta testing of DIGGS Version 2.0, create training and development tools for users, and ; develop a sustainable business plan.
