Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The goal of this article is to develop a geospatial database for environmental monitoring of the coastal zone of the Caspian Sea in oil fields areas within the Mangistau region of Kazakhstan with the use of geographic information systems (GIS).To automate data processing, predictive and spatial analysis of field research results, an electronic map of soils conditions of the coastal zone of the Caspian Sea is created in the GIS format with surveys res-ults applied.The programme information-analytical application "Monitoring and Analytics", implemented in a modular type, based on client-server technology, was developed to this electronic map.As a server to store information about the results of the field survey of the area, we selected a database management system (DMS) MS Access, which ensures reliability of the application and adjusts layers of the electronic map.
