Job Summary:
The NMIC publishes monthly, quarterly, semiannual, annual, and special reports. The annual Minerals Yearbook (MYB), known as Volume I, Volume II and Volume III, include data on a commodity-specific basis, State-specific basis and country-specific basis, respectively MYBs. There are monthly, quarterly, and semiannual commodity-specific reports that are designated MIS. There is another annual commodity specific publication designated as MCS, and special reports on an individual basis such as presentations or special report and series publications such as Industrial Minerals reviews that happen each year. The review process for each of these publications is different and each module is programmed with different review steps but the functionality of the ERS system is to log dates of when each review step was completed and to provide notification to the next reviewer in the process that a task has been assigned to them. There used to be manual tracking of these reports on paper sheets that someone would then have to enter manually into a spreadsheet. This system provides for transparency in the review process to see who has the file, provides for metrics of comparing scheduled completion dates and actual dates registered in the Power App, and provides notification for users.
OneWorld was developed to ensure collaboration among commodity and country specialists and consistent data being published by NMIC. Internal review of a number of mineral commodity and country publications revealed significant discrepancies in the data that were published in reports, specifically in the disagreement of the production data reported for a mineral commodity produced in a country as the two Volumes were published independently. OneWorld was created to 1) design a multi-user tool capable of adding and reviewing data and requiring data reconciliation so that both volumes produce a single, agreed upon data point for a specific commodity for a specific country with a
specific time stamp, 2) would like to have an automated tool produce a commodity world production table and a country production table, 3) maintain and store data and feed the data into a database capable of offloading into multiple other locations to include an SQL database program that is currently under development and a data visualization system that is yet to be developed, and 4) have that tool also conduct an internal review of the existing 5-year data sets to produce a single, unified master data set.
