Treffer: WebGL based Visualisation and Analysis of Stratigraphic Data for the Purposes of the Mining Industry.

In recent years the combination of databases, data and internet technologies has greatly enhanced the functionality of many systems based on spatial data, and facilitated the dissemination of such information. In this paper, we propose a web-based data visualisation and analysis system for stratigraphic data from a Polish mine, with visualisation and analysis tools which can be accessed via the Internet. WWW technologies such as active web pages and WebGL technology provide a user-friendly interface for browsing, plotting, comparing, and downloading information of interest, without the need for dedicated mining industry software.
