DIGGSML is an XML-based schema designed for transfer of geotechnical and geoenvironmental data between different organizations. In 2013, the ASCE Geo-Institute was awarded a 2-year contract by the Ohio DOT to implement DIGGS. The current version, 2.0a, is undergoing pilot testing through early 2016.

How to Find Existing Geotechnical Subsurface Information
So, you’ve landed a job as a Geotechnical Engineer. What now? We all know that before performing any site investigation it is prudent to gather as much information that you can about the project site. There are so many resources out there that can help us get an idea of what the subsurface conditions are so that we can select the appropriate subsurface exploration techniques.
Below is a list of extremely useful sites that can help you gain some indication as to what the subsurface conditions are before planning the subsurface exploration program.
