Archiving NI 43-101 Reports in a Zotero Shared Library v1

Abstract

This protocol describes an information processing and curation workflow to document and archive mineral development project disclosure reports (NI 43-101 Technical Reports) in an experimental online archive being developed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). The GeoArchive contains various reports and other digital documents cited in USGS research and assessments that do not have some other permanent, accessible online repository. It serves as a permanent reference point for these materials that can be linked to from USGS products. This protocol, which is a fork from an original protocol developed for a different technical platform (USGS ScienceBase), links to another protocol showing how to obtain the National Instrument (NI 43-101) Technical Reports from an online portal, identify specific metadata within the documents, and deposit the PDF files and metadata into a shared library within the Zotero system.
