Integrated mining data center

JAKARTA (JP): The Ministry of Mines and Energy has announced
plans to create an integrated data center to give investors
easier access to mining data.

The ministry said in a statement on Friday that thus far two
departments at the ministry -- the directorates general of mining
and of geology and mineral resources -- have run their own data
centers, despite the fact that the information is closely
related.

It said both directorates signed agreements on Wednesday to
collect their data into one integrated data center at the
directorate general of mining.

"With the creation of the center, we hope it will be easier
for interested parties to access all the existing mining data,"
the ministry statement said. (jsk)
