25. License Mapping Portal
Technical Architecture
• Service
– Cloud computing methodology
– End users access the online portal through a standard web browser
– Allows for the sharing of resources to achieve economies of scale
• Application Framework
– Initially developed in Esri Silverlight API but incompatible with Apple’s
mobile operating system (iOS)
– Silverlight requires a plug-in download (6 megabytes)
– Plan to expand supported target platforms to HTML5 capable devices (iOS
& Android) using the Esri JavaScript API
• Mapping Framework
– Esri’s ArcGIS Server
• Spatial Database
– Esri’s ArcSDE
26. License Mapping Portal
Data Structure
• Layers
– Licenses: Hosted in South Africa
– Physical map backdrop: Esri online map service
– Satellite imagery: Microsoft Bing maps
– Geology: Hosted by OneGeology
– Project data: Various
• User Experience
– Seamless data integration
– Integrated datasets presented in one interface
27. License Mapping Portal Challenges
Legal Framework Solution
• The legal framework needs to accommodate online data sharing /
online payments / online applications
• Solution
– Future World Bank regulatory framework reviews should make provision
for online transactions
– The Zambia government is currently updating the legal framework to
incorporate online transactions
– Tanzania is also undertaking a legal framework review
28. License Mapping Portal Challenges
‘Dirty’ Data Solution
• Portal of limited use if the licensing data is of poor quality
• Solution
– Implement mining cadastre systems to create the basis for ‘clean’ data
– Cadastre implementation includes an initial data verification process
– Ensures good data quality on an ongoing basis
– Not only spatial inaccuracies but attribute errors i.e. active status but
expired
– Tanzania portal used to involve the public in data cleaning verification
29. License Mapping Portal Challenges
Political Buy In Solution
• The most challenging aspect of implementing an online solution
• Solution
– Build on the momentum of other cadastre / online implementations
– Encourage policy makers, funders, civil society and investors to put
pressure on government
– Implement a soft skills approach which includes creating a wave of change
from middle to upper management
Cadastre Head Director of Mines Permanent Secretary Minister of Mines
– Ultimately the key is to build strong relationships with governments. It could
take years to push the shift from a culture of protecting license data to a
culture of sharing license data.
– The bottom line is there are no shortcuts, it takes time and requires patience
30. License Mapping Portal Challenges
Poor Server Infrastructure Solution
• Developing countries generally have poor infrastructure. The online
systems need to guarantee 100% uptime.
• Solution
– Host the servers and online system externally
– Advantages of hosting externally at a Data Centre
– Dedicated and fast bandwidth guaranteed
– Scheduled data backups
– System uptime guaranteed
– Availability of generators and uninterruptible power supply (UPS)
systems
– Provides a reliable remote access connection for support and
maintenance

• Governments generally don’t have sufficient funds to implement online
systems
• Solution
– The solution needs to be addressed internally (government) and externally
(donors)
– Sell data online i.e. licenses GIS data (government)
– Provide a monthly subscription feature service for a fee (government)
– Follow the route of PNG by including the provision of online services in the
mining cadastre RfP (donors)
– Need to fund online cadastre portals as the ultimate way of increasing
license transparency (donors)
32. License Mapping Portal Challenges
Integrate Extractive Data
• Not only mining data but country wide extractive data showing mining
licenses as well as oil and gas blocks. This problem is pronounced in
East Africa with the newly discovered oil and gas discoveries.
• Solution
– Oil and gas government institutions will require proper cadastre systems to
ensure transparency and good data
– Initial ‘integration’ can be a data extract from existing ‘systems’
– Tanzania will ‘integrate’ oil and gas licenses in the mining portal (data
export)

Future Plans – Spatial Features
• XY tool allowing for the capture of coordinates for application prescreening
• Overlap detection subsequent to capturing coordinates
• E-commerce module allowing for the purchasing / downloading of licenses
data in GIS format
• Provision of dynamic feature services
• Integration with related data i.e. IPIS Research project in the DRC
41. License Mapping Portal
Future Plans – Non Spatial Features
• Inclusion of revenue reporting
• Include officially publicly available corporate records for download. ‘Much
of the DRC’s most important corporate information is left to rot away, tied
up in loose bundles at the Tribunal de Commerce in Kinshasa’.
• Increase transparency by providing company information of directors and
shareholders
42. License Mapping Portal
Including License Transparency in EITI
• In order to be more effective, the database should have a GIS interface to
plot the coordinates of the tenements ……..
• The minimum information to be published for each license should include
– Applicant name
– Date of application
– Coordinates of the license
– Type of applied license
– Date of granting or refusal
– If refused, reasons for refusal
– If granted, date of expiration or first renewal deadline
• The above is addressed with online license portals
