Abstract
The analysis of topological relationships encoded from outcrop and drill core observations in the real world or from the 2-D map, cross-section and 3-D model representations derived from these, provides constraints to verify the consistency of
geoscience databases and models. Although inventories of the topological relationships that can be realised in IR3 exist, to our knowledge the subset essential to spatial reasoning in geology has not yet been derived. Herein, we extract this subset by defining constraints for the 9-intersection of two geological objects within a fully partitioned observation region in IR2 and IR3 and discuss how this may support 3-D geological modelling.
