At this time, Mineral Deposit Series reports for 1:50 000 NTS sheets (red on map) exist in digital form (database format). These are currently available on MGS Internet Map Server (IMS) at the web site www.gov.mb\minerals, however, they are rather inflexible as far as complicated searches.
These digitized reports are have been parsed and are currently being input into the database.
The new database is beingdesigned in Oracle.The cascaded screen captures to the left show the various fieldsand sample content of the database.
This database structure will allow for more robust queries.
While these data sets are beingentered, we will design a QuerySystem.
At the same time as the data is being entered, we will design the delivery systems:
1. CD or DVD2. Web download similiar to the Diamond and Geochronology databases3. The final “Cadillac” web-enabled system (similiar to the figure to the left)
The next task is to design the“in-house” entry system and thento enter all the existing data intothe Oracle database. This datawill include:
1. Completion of entry and checking of the dataset from the existing Database entries (green 1:50 000 NTS sheets on the map at the right)
2. Manual entry of the Mineral Deposit Series reports not in digital form (red 1:50000 NTS sheets on the map to the right)
