DODEX - Geoscience Documents and Data for Exploration in Greenland

In the following we describe the project Geoscience Documents and Data for Exploration in Greenland, in short DODEX. A central part of DODEX is an interactive web application (http://www.geus.dk/dodex/) that provides easy access to all non-confidential company geoscience reports received by the authorities in Greenland and Denmark in accordance with the Mineral Resources Act of Greenland (1 January 2010) and associated regulations. From the web application it is possible to search in the DODEX report database using alphanumeric and geographic search criteria and to access report metadata. It is also possible to download the actual report as a PDF file. In addition to the open DODEX web application, the project also includes the development of a closed web application where authorised users can access confidential reports. The DODEX project was carried out at the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS) in cooperation with the Bureau of Minerals and Petroleum (BMP) under the Government of Greenland as part of the promotion of the mineral resources of Greenland.
