Conceptual foundation for spatial data display in the mineral resource sector

The authors consider spatial data as the basis for information provision of the territory. It is noted that at displaying it, significant is to choose the coordinate system and cartographic projection most suitable for a particular territory or object. The issues related to the accuracy of the mentioned information representation play a crucial role. In popular cartographic services and web applications for data display, the accuracy of the results is low; they cannot be correctly applied to engineering tasks. The majority of GIS products incorporate numerous built-in coordinate systems, allowing selection of a suitable projection for a specific task. It is established that today in the Russian Federation there is a number of issues concerned to coordination and displaying objects related to the mineral resource complex, as well as their presentation in the Unified State Real Estate Register. Various districts use different systems; this necessitates transforming coordinates, leading to accumulating errors. Additionally, the multi-stage principles involved in conversion and data display contribute to reduced accuracy. In the case of solving overview visualization tasks, this may not cause serious problems for the user; however, the design of information on objects of the mineral resource complex requires compliance with the desired graphical accuracy. Therefore, developing the coordination principle is closely connected with application of modern methods for data acquisition, digital representation, display, and storage using various information systems, which is directly determined by the strategic tasks of topographic, geodetic, and cartographic support in the Russian Federation until 2030
