Sponsors & Partners

The following companies and organizations have provided support for the development of the DIGGS.

Dataforensics

Dataforensics is a member of the Geotechnical Data Coalition (GDC) and has provided technical efforts and support of the DIGGS schema. Dataforensics' vision of single source data entry through the project lifecycle will be more accessible to end users of their software and their partner’s software because of DIGGS. Dataforensics RAPID CPT software was the first commercially available software that could import DIGGS data. Dataforensics software works in combination with other leading software vendors such as Keynetix (HoleBASE SI and KeyLAB platforms), EScIS (ESdat) and Bentley (gINT).www.dataforensics.net

Bentley

Bentley, Keynetix, and gINT have provided technical efforts and support for the development of the UML based representation of the DIGGS schema. Developers of intranet and Internet systems: Customized GIS, Maintenance, Document and Asset Management. They are currently implementing software that is compliant with DIGGS including the popular HoleBASE software. www.bentley.com

Schnabel Engineering
Schnabel Engineering has been providing geotechnical, dam and tunnel engineering services for more than 60 years.  The data collected and the wealth of data available to us daily from many sources has made it clear that common data exchange formats are a necessity for our continued success.  For more than 10 years, we have supported this effort and will continue our work to enhance this scheme and look forward to the insights to come from the common data structure and data availability. www.schnabel-eng.com

Consortium of Organizations for Strong-Motion Observation Systems (COSMOS)

The COSMOS mission is to expand and modernize significantly the acquisition and application of strong-motion data in order to increase public safety from earthquakes. One of the major objectives of COSMOS is to promote the advancement of strong-motion measurement in densely urbanized areas and other locations of special significance to a society likely to be struck by future earthquakes. Membership in COSMOS is open to all agencies, organizations, private companies and consultants, professional institutions, professional societies, and universities. www.cosmos-eq.org
