Increasing stress on global groundwater resources is leading to new approaches to the management and delivery of groundwater data. These approaches include the deployment of a Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) to enable online data interoperability amongst numerous and heterogeneous data sources.Oftenanimportant componentof anSDIisa globaldomainschema,whichservesasacentral structure for the query and transport of data, but at present there does not exist a schema for groundwater data that is strongly compliant with SDI concepts, standards, and technologies. In this paper we present GroundWater Markup Language (GWML), a groundwater application of the GeographyMarkupLanguage(GML).GWMLcanbeusedinconjunctionwithavarietyofwebservicesto
