| | The project aims were to 'develop strategies and systems to assist geological survey organisations in the |
| | handling, management and dissemination of geoscience data, and in the training of staff in the relevant |
| | techniques'. |
| | |
| | Access to geoscience information is essential to the decision making process in many key areas. However, |
| | the information must be in a form that is readily available, both to national policy makers and to potential |
| | international investors. |
| | |
| | The cost of developing a geoscience information system from first principles is large and the skills and |
| | experience required are scarce. The project aims to assist in the organisation of geoscience data by |
| | developing: |
| | |
| | *data handling, validation and management procedures |
| | *high-level metadata indices |
| | *a standard data structure |
| | *a GIS interface to facilitate data access, querying and integration |
| | *guidelines on setting up a web site for disseminating geoscience data. |
| | |
| | No two Geological Survey Organisations (GSOs) will have identical requirements and it is therefore not |
| | possible to provide a complete IT solution that will fully meet the requirements of all GSOs. The aim of the |
| | project is rather to provide a generalised core 'template' which is appropriate to the needs of all GSOs, and |
| | which individual GSOs can subsequently develop further to meet their own specific requirements. |
| | |
| | Different GSOs will be able to come into the system at different levels. For example some may be primarily |
| | concerned with the organisation of their data prior to any IT implementation, whereas others may have digital |
| | data at project level and be interested in guidelines on how to link these together to form a corporate database. |
| | |
| | |
| | The project has worked closely with the GSOs of Botswana, Malawi and Malaysia to define the requirements |
| | and to test the sytems using real data and real problems. |
| | |
| | To disseminate the project results this CD and a WWW site have been developed using trial data provided by |
