The information-analytical system “Regional Management of Widespread Mineral Resources” is a suite of communications products, software and information resources that provide accumulation, storage, analysis and interpretation of various geological and non-geological data in the form of texts, tables, graphs, and cartographic materials. Practical application of the system is to monitor the complex data on the widespread natural resources and provide information support to the state-run public authorities in the regions, to scientific research organizations and companies offering design and survey services.

  For efficient search and processing of mineral deposit information, the database has been developed under the Microsoft Access database management system. The database contains a set of tables and hyperlinks with recorded text information of memos and attached files of text, graphics and other applications, namely, the geological report data, mineral reserves confirmation records, etc.. The database on the widespread mineral resources has been put into practice in the Nenets Autonomous Okrug and Komi Republic. The developed system, when compared to the existing analogs, does not require the involvement of highly skilled personnel and can be operated on the basis of widely used software.
