The Mining Industry Business Reference Architecture provides a unified, end‑to‑end view that clarifies how value is created across the entire mining value chain. It cuts through the industry’s complexity by defining stable business capabilities and exposing the systems, data flows, and dependencies that enable them. This architecture matters because mining operations are complex, making alignment between IT, OT, and business functions difficult. By offering a common language and integrated view, it helps leaders reduce duplication, strengthen integration, and link technology investments directly to operational outcomes.
The visual representation of the mining business reference
architecture is transposed into a digestible Excel format for AI workflows to
support further processing. The tool also includes descriptions of the
terminology and an initial list of applications used within the industry.
