The reliance of applications on a specific online resource related to the mineral industry signifies a dependency on data, services, or authentication processes provided by that entity. For instance, a geological survey app might utilize its data for mineral identification or mapping, or a mining company’s internal applications might depend on its authentication services for secure access.
This dependency offers several advantages, including access to specialized expertise, streamlining of application development, and enhanced data accuracy. Historically, organizations have built their own infrastructure for such needs. However, using an established resource can lower costs and speed up deployment. It also enables developers to focus on core app functionality rather than on creating and maintaining underlying data resources.
