Minerals4EU - WP5
The EU-MKDP (Minerals Knowledge Data Platform)
System architecture, objectives, services

The objectives, the technical choices, our contribution, the future…
Our objectives
Technical choices: why?
What do we bring to the community? Are we in competition with other
Internet data providers?
The EU-MKDP is a first step. Other projects currently running and the very near
future
Concluding remark
Our objectives
The EU-MKDP represents one of the first bricks of the future European geological
data infrastructure. The proposed technical solutions assure an effective and sustainable system designed for facilitating data updates and maintenance, and
for offering you a full and seamless access to information related to the whole
mineral resources value chain.
The system is thus designed to accommodate:
- Structured data from national databases and
- Semi- and non-structured information: syntheses and statistics (graph charts and time-series), related to primary and secondary resources ( exploration,
production, reserves and resources), exploitation technologies, end-product
development and waste management practices, European market survey
and raw material demand… in various formats (text files, PDF files, images…).

Technical choices – other features
The EU-MKDP Web Portal
An Editorial: latest news of the EU-MKDP and information on the use of the web portal.
A Map Viewer will present the data inside the Diffusion Database, and will allow the user to combine them with other data (geological map, consumption area...). This Map Viewer will support INSPIRE View Services, will propose a predefined layers list, a metadata catalogue dedicated to Minerals4EU (MICKA), a connection to other catalogues (One Geology-Europe, INSPIRE...) and external layers (OGC WMS). Some of the basic (statistics, reports...) and dedicated services will be integrated in the Map Viewer.
The Search facilities will allow the user to search in the Diffusion Database, in some other databases (manually plugged into the Indexation Engine) and in documents added to the EU-MKDP using a dedicated interface. The user will be able to search (i) using full text or (ii) using a specific interface dedicated to the concept he is looking for. It will be possible to refine all these searches by adding a location (Diffusion Database, documents or both).

Technical choices – the services
Services on top of the Central Diffusion Database, accessible through the EU-
MKDP
‘Basic’ services: data filtering, advanced search, statistics computing, automatic
report generation.
Dedicated services, some answering to the most common/frequent queries (with possible storage of results in the Central Diffusion Database): e.g., LREE/HREE computation, extraction - using mineralogy - of all deposits containing REE (indicated or NOT in the commodity list) for a better definition of mining districts/provinces.
‘On request’ services based on Geological Surveys’ know-how/expertise
Services with a substantial added-value, not automated, tailored to meet specific
demands from industry, EC, governmental agencies and other potential end users (e.g., dedicated metallogenic /potential maps, predictive maps…).
What do we bring? Are we in competition with
other Internet data providers?
Most of the Internet data providers collect, standardize and disseminate all
relevant corporate, financial, market and M&A data — plus news and analysis
— for industries like metals & mining.
We are partly dealing with the same data (e.g., project/mine status,
exploration, production and grades, reserves and resources…) but our goal is
to provide the investor, the decision-maker or the stakeholder with the
capability (i) to produce in a seamless way his own analysis combining several
types of data and (ii) to search for and exploit pertinent syntheses (e.g., the e-
Minerals Yearbook [WP4] and foresight studies [WP6]).
We are covering the whole value chain, putting notably at the end user
disposal all the geological and metallogenic knowledge necessary to
evaluate ongoing mining projects (potential of the area, potential of
development…)
No competition, but complementarity
