QLD DNRM Next Generation Resource Data API

QLD Dept of Natural Resources and Mines

Geological datasets are used daily by industry, academia, government  and others to examine the geology of regions and make future exploration, developer, or operations decisions.  Currently to access the geological data it requires investigating multiple systems and sites. After investigating what is available, it may then be necessary to search for and download information from multiple systems, which is very time consuming and once the data is downloaded it could be out of date.

The challenge posed is what would the next generation resource data API look like.  How  to manage access and then enable single point search, request, and  data usage?
