An Information System for the Mining Industry

  • Conference paper
Database and Expert Systems Applications

Abstract

This paper describes the conception and prototypic implementation of a comprehensive planning information system for the mining industry. Such a system has to cope with two classes of requirements resulting from the application domain characteristics: Because mine planning is a task of high responsibility — preventing all conceivable risks for miners and environmental factors -, the system must provide complete, correct, consistent and actual information. On the other hand, the spatio-temporal dimension of mining objects and their complex relations demand advanced modelling techniques and mechanisms for manipulation and integrity constraint checking.

The progress in database theory research — especially object-oriented approaches — allows for the first time to profit from database technology in such a complex domain. A first prototypic implementation including essential mining objects and several applications (topological scanning) was tested with existing productional data from one mine. It yielded promising results with respect to performance and fruitful experiences for the future overall system development.
