Physical asset and digital file organization is often given a low priority by exploration companies
as few if any Data Management Staff are employed and Geologists and Geophysicists believe they are
wasting valuable interpretation time by carrying out such work. It is also an inherently boring job!
GIMS LIBRARY module forms an integral part of GIMS Suite and is designed to allow easy management of
both digital files and physical assets. The LIBRARY module incorporates the following features:
|
- Both Library Data Entry and Library Manager Functions to allow Cataloguing QC
- Form-based cataloguing to avoid errors with cloning and copying to speed data entry
- User defined dictionary tables for most fields to ensure consistent data entry
- Dictionary controls to ensure database integrity is maintained
- Rapid file linking
- Smart Geo-referencing to save time – link to well then auto-link field concession, basin etc
- Link library items to multiple surveys
- User Comments on library cataloguing fed-back to library staff
- Check-in/check-out facility
- Addition of barcoding if required
- Simple library relocation procedures allow multiple items to be relocated in seconds
- Automated digital media cataloguing
- Auto-cataloguing of files on server by CRAWLER programmes
- Diagnostic tools to detect broken file links etc
- Multiple library link types to facilitate user data access
- Data Set concept used in cataloguing to enable access can be limited to authorized Users
Library Cataloguing and GIMS Data Management Service
While GIMS Library is designed so that it can be customized for individual user use many Companies
contract Horizon to provide a library cataloguing service. This provides access to experienced staff
on an as-required basis without Company having to employ a dedicated database person. A GIMS Data
Management Service Contract can be customized to Company requirements and allows flexibility to
utilize the cataloguers time when needed. Horizon ensure that the same staff are supplied for each
job ensuring consistency of cataloguing in a time-effective manner.
