Services: Web Software Integration / Custom Programming / Discovery Portal Integration
Victory Point FX provided web configuration and programming services for the integration of Northern Minerals Database (NORMIN) references information with GeoConnections and Canadian Geoscience Knowledge Network (CGKN) discovery portals to provide searchable FGDC-compliant metadata. The discovery portals provide a centralized and standardized approach for the search and retrieval of geospatial metadata and related geospatial data sets accessible by clients over the Internet. The Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) clearinghouse model was implemented to link the NORMIN relational database environment to the discovery portals. NORMIN is a database of mineral showings, and a database of references to geology and mineral exploration in the Northwest Territories and Nunavut.
The NORMIN database can be searched via GeoConnections, CGKN or, more directly, at NTGO’s website.
