ABSTRACT: Georesources support society at different levels, depending on their technological development, and thus strongly impact on the economic, societal and environmental sustainability pillars. The European project MINERALS4EU [5] created the European Mineral knowledge Data platform (EU-MKDP [6]), to provide harmonised data related to mineral resources, as well as statistical related information, e.g., minerals yearbook. The nuclear pillars of the EU-MKDP architecture were based in the datamodels and harmonised terminology developed by INSPIRE and IUGS-CGI (represented by GeoSciML and EarthResourceML). The Portuguese input to this platform was based on mineral occurrences and resources information system, SIORMINP [15]. SIORMINP contains information of categorization of mineral potential, past concessions, commodities reserves and resources, and exploitation activity. The SIORMINP dataset was harmonised according to the MINERALS4EU project data model and vocabularies, and published using OGC compliant Web services in EU-MKDP. This work shows how the data harmonization was undertaken to integrate national database in the EU-MKDP, and more recently to improve the national geoportal to be INSPIRE compliant.
