This data is essential to the management of agreements that cover publicly owned resources. Data is retrieved through computer terminals distributed throughout Energy, Environment and Parks and other provincial Government departments. Crown Land Data Support is responsible for updating corporate data and training, as well as system maintenance and development in conjunction with the system analysts. The powerful automated database of GLIMPS permits the departments using land data to better serve the needs of the public. The primary applications of the system are: (a) to provide access to accurate and timely information relating to public land, and surface and mineral interests on crown land. This is provided through direct terminal access for government agencies. The Public sector can access this data by the provision of hard copy reports on request or access to the Electronic Transfer System (ETS) which provides search capabilities through the internet. And (b) to support the data capture requirements of government departments through the input and maintenance of their data, e.g. all activities and land for Alberta Environment and Parks, petroleum and natural gas agreement for Alberta Department of Energy. Examples of the administrative processes supported by GLIMPS are: access to land standing information, data recording and maintenance, application approval, disposition review and statistical/management reporting. The data components include: (a) clients - all clients having an interest in Public Lands or Crown Minerals; (b) activities - all surface dispositions, mineral agreements, etc.; (c) land - all Alberta township land and public subdivided land defined by a plan block lot reference, (d) geo administrative areas - such as provincial parks, special areas, etc. 3 Search described in this book. 1) Public Land Standing This publication provides samples of this search format available from the GLIMPS Surface subsystem, the applicable fees and explanations of the various data fields contained within each report.
