The online AGDI dataset and application were compiled and developed through funding from the federal Minerals Data and Information Rescue in Alaska (MDIRA) program and State of Alaska's General Fund. The following DGGS employees helped create the ADGI application: Jennifer Athey (project manager, geologist), Susan Seitz (database manager/programmer), Simone Montayne (geologist), Ken Woods (systems administrator) and other programming staff. This material is based upon further work in 2021 supported by the U.S. Geological Survey under Grant No. G20AP00103 and the State of Alaska General Fund.

AGDI includes information about industry reports and maps, field notes, drill logs, and other data from the private sector. The data are available through a web service interactive web application with a text- and map-based search interface, data input and editing functionality, and data administration capability. The archived data are held and controlled by government agencies, institutions, and private companies; the index points to the physical location of the data, provides a basic description, and contains information on accessibility. The primary objective of the AGDI project is to ensure that all available Alaska minerals data are securely archived in perpetuity and in a format readily accessible by all potential users. Information on mineral resources is important for management policy decisions in both the public and private sectors. Increased use of high-quality data in all sub-disciplines of geology should lead to better economic, legislative, and environmental decisions.
