Dataset description

Karst is a term used world-wide to describe the distinctive landforms that develop on rock types that are readily dissolved by water. In Ireland, limestone (composed of calcium carbonate) and to a lesser extent dolomite (calcium and magnesium carbonate) are by far the most widespread rocks that show karst features. There is also a small outcrop of a younger softer rock also made of calcium carbonate – the chalk of Co. Antrim – which shows some of the features characteristic of karstic terrains. In other parts of the world, highly soluble rocks such as gypsum (calcium sulphate) and halite (common salt or sodium chloride) are abundant and they also exhibit karstic landforms For further information visit; http://www.gsi.ie/Programmes/Groundwater/Karst+Booklet/01-what-is.htm.htm

Questions before production use

Practical answers on evaluation, licensing, freshness, versioning and support.

Yes. Selected APIs include a free API quota, so your team can validate coverage, freshness, response shape and workflow fit before asking for a production plan.

Often yes, but usage rights depend on the source license and dataset. We surface source, license and update metadata where available, and can help review terms before a production integration.

Maintained APIs include update metadata where available. For production integrations, we can add history, monitoring and push updates so changes are easier to detect and act on.

Production APIs can add SLA, stable identifiers, versioning support, history, push updates and direct support around the data your product or AI workflow depends on.
