boreholeId
A boreholeId is a unique identifier assigned to a borehole, an artificial hole drilled into the ground. The identifier is used in records, maps, and datasets to reference a single borehole unambiguously, regardless of its location, name, or operator. BoreholeIds are common in groundwater investigations, mining, civil engineering, and geothermal projects.
Typically, boreholeIds are created by the project operator or data management system and are retained for the
BoreholeIds serve as keys to linked information such as drilling logs, lithology descriptions, geophysical surveys, pump
Data governance practices often require recording metadata with a boreholeId, including coordinates, depth to base, borehole
In practice, boreholeIds improve traceability, auditability, and data quality in geoscience and engineering workflows, helping researchers
