Geological information catalogue system is to be introduced. Mongolia’s Geological Information Catalogue system (MonGeoCat) is to be introduced in coming fourth quarter, making geological information more accessible and mining sector more attractive by reducing risks. Mineral Resources Information Technology Center (MRITC) of the Mineral Resources and Petroleum Authority of Mongolia (MRPAM) together with “Oyunii Tsomorlig Impex” LLC have developed the system. Today August 18, presentation meeting of MonGeoCat system was held. The system was funded by the Australian Government within the Australia-Mongolia Extractives Program. “- To get geological information one has to come to MRAM. When the new system is in use, this burden will be eliminated. One can access the required information by logging in to the system at any time. By introducing such a system and geological information will be more accessible” noted Ambassador of Australia to Mongolia John Langtry. MonGeoCat provides access to the metadata on geological information in MRITC. This integrated system serves as an information catalogue and consists of two interfaces. The first is a web-based map interface which enables spatial searching with a WebGIS (geographic information system). It is based on the ArcGIS platform which is used for mapping and spatial analysis. The second interface is a metadata catalogue, which enables searching for basic characteristics of documents. It is based on GeoNetwork, catalogue application to manage spatially referenced resources. The system contains over 8200 geological reports, some 200 geographic information system, and 30 information databases.
