Abstract

[1]  The architecture of the multi-user distributed geoinformation-analytical environment is considered. It includes informational subject portals, analytical methods and GIS-systems, tools for searching and viewing the information, the distributed system of metadata depositories and, at last, the unique storage of global geodata, providing the cartographical base for the concrete geoinformation projects. This environment makes essentially easy access of the scientists to the geodata and the analytical processing of them in online mode. The concrete example of establishing a multivariate link between gold ore deposits of the Kuril-Kamchatsky volcanic belt and the parameters of geological environment is listed.
