Abstract
This article presents a comprehensive study on the development of a geological museum database at the Kyiv National University, aimed at digitizing and managing information about mineral exhibits. As the global geological data registration continues to increase, digitalization becomes crucial for efficient data management. The paper outlines a systematic approach, including website development, data storage methodologies, and automation tools. The chosen “Materialized Path” algorithm for structured data storage in relational databases and the JSON approach in MongoDB are highlighted for their efficiency. The integration of Flask framework, Python programming, and Telegram application supports the creation of a user-friendly website and tools. The results showcase the successful implementation of the database, which enables staff to manage and update exhibit details, news, and event information. The paper underscores the potential for wider accessibility, collaboration, and preservation of geological data, contributing to the advancement of earth sciences. Despite resource limitations, this project signifies a pivotal step in digitalizing geological museums and promoting geological heritage understanding.
