This portion of the locally installed World Minerals Geoscience Database Project (WMGDP) web site documents the WMGDP global mineral deposit database schema (GlobalDB schema) and its accompanying software applications (GShell and GQuery, and three auxiliary programs GQ_ADO_XtraTables, Documentor, and GBDSTools). This documentation reflects changes made to the GlobalDB schema since Release 3.6, schema 3.19 which was the final release under the mining/exploration company-sponsorship. The global mineral deposit schema was enhanced after the WMGDP to include extra tables required for Canadian compilations under the Northern Resource Development and Northern Mineral Resource Development Programs, bringing the schema up to version 3.21.

If you run into difficulty in copying over and using the software, or defining database aliases, please contact Lesley B. Chorlton at the Geological Survey of Canada, preferably by e-mail at the address lchorlto@nrcan.gc.ca, or by phone at (613) 996-9358.
