Overview
Gaia Resources worked with the Department of Mines and Petroleum (Western Australia) on the prototype for the State Environmental Data Library in 2015. This involved determining the data standard for the Library, based on our knowledge of the subject matter, industry needs and the potential workloads involved. Once data standards and capture processes were set, a large volume of spatial data was then captured from historical mining reports to populate the Library. This data was supplied to the Department at regular intervals in order to populate their prototype Library portal, developed in house by the Department.
