Abstract
The increasing necessity, to share data and metadata, at European scale, has pushed the European community to develop common rules. In this context the INSPIRE directive has grown. Therefore, the growing need to standardize geological information, leads to develop an informatics tool, as a relational database, that allows to catalog and manage a large amount of data that can be used in a number of fields as to solve environmental or civil problem (CHANG & PARK, 2004). In addition, a relational database gives the opportunity to join geological and geophysical information, this allows to have a global view of a complex geological area, as the Sicilian area (fig. 1), developed from a complex deformative events as consequence of the convergence between the African and European plates (LENTINI et alii, 1990; LENTINI et alii, 1996). © Società Geologica Italiana, Roma 2012.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
