Sloan Foundation, GEMI (‘Global Earth Mineral Inventory’) was developed from the need of researchers to have all of the required mineral data visible in a single portal, connected by a robust, yet easy to understand schema. Keck Foundation, with significant support from the Deep Carbon Observatory (DCO) and the A.P. As a part of the Deep Time Data Infrastructure, funded by the W.M. To help achieve this goal, we have compiled physical, chemical and geological properties of minerals and linked them to the above-mentioned mineral occurrence datasets. One of the main goals in geoinformatics has been to facilitate discovery by creating and merging datasets from various scientific fields and using statistical methods and visualization tools to inspire and test hypotheses applicable to modelling Earth's past environments. Datasets found at ‘/Evolution’ and ‘ ’ have documented a wealth of mineral occurrences around the world. These data have been used to better understand the movement of continental plates, the oxidation of Earth's atmosphere and the water regime of ancient martian landscapes. Therefore, geologists have been collecting mineral samples and compiling data about these samples for centuries. Minerals contain important clues to understanding the complex geologic history of Earth and other planetary bodies.
