Entity-Driven New Paradigm of Mine Data: Model Construction and Application

Abstract

In the construction of a three-dimensional real scene (3D real scene) of a mine, we encounter challenges in organizing and correlating multi-source data. To surmount these challenges, we innovatively adopted the entity organization method. We proposed a definition of a “mining entity” and conducted an in-depth analysis of its main characteristics. Based on these characteristics, we classified and coded the main mining entities and further constructed an entity expression pattern layer that could fully reflect the characteristics of the mine. Based on multi-source heterogeneous mine data, we constructed a mining entity data layer. Furthermore, by adopting a graph database approach, we were able to create a graphical representation and correlation application of the complex relationships among mining entities. This work shows that compared to traditional data management methods, a mine data organization approach centered on entities can more effectively integrate and correlate multi-source mine data, providing strong support for the digital management of mines and the construction of 3D real scenes.
