SOFTWARE PLATFORMS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A MINING GIS
The problems of development of free software for mining and geological information systems with open source for mining enterprises are considered. The basic information about the program platforms for the development of mining information system on the basis of open system and geometric kernel standards is given. Typical development tasks are illustrated by Python code snippets for the PyQt graphics library. The basic software is a cross-platform geometric kernel with open-source Open CASCADE Technology, which provides creation and manipulation of geometric models of quarry elements in a dialogue with users. The tools allow to implement the necessary technological operations for the building of the field and pit model, for the choice of the mining development direction, for the drilling and blasting specifics, for the organization of transport infrastructure and others.
