The Research And Utility Of The Information Resource Related To Mining On Internet

It is analyzed and extracted that some important search engines and information systems and databases related to mining/mineral processing field in Chinese and English gathered on Internet from online.In the Chinese search engines related to mining/mineral processing field, the most important six are listed according to Web sites scalar on ascending, which are Chinese Yahoo, Infonavi, Globepage, Sohu, Tonghua and Beijixing. Mining/mineral processing information Web sites can be searched from them. In the English search engines, there is great difference in Web site amounts related to mining/mineral processing field. HotBot, AltaVista, Lycos and Yahoo are important to mining/mineral processing field, in which includes over one million Web pages. From them most of mining/mineral processing Web information can be obtained.In Chinese information resources systems and databases, most of important are CNKI, Wanfangdata and VIP, in which there are some databases related to mining/mineral processing fields. All of them have much of science and technology information of series text and there is an overlap, but another cannot substitute one. Wanfangdata has more information in business, organization, biography, dissertation and proceedings than other.The English mining/mineral processing information is obtained from many database systems, which are OCLC, Ei, Dialog and CSA respectively. Each monopolizes some databases and cannot be replaced by another.OCLC includes less professional mining/mineral processing database and more comprehensive database. Ei, Dialog and CSA include more databases related to mining/mineral processing nearly, in which Ei CompendexWeb and CSA have built mirror sites in the Library of Tsinghua University of P. R. China, well suited to Chinese user. Otherwise the full-text can be obtained from Uncover availably and patent information from USPTO freely.
