In the Geological Geoportal we focus attention on data harmonization at European level, in fact there is a specific section dedicated to two international projects that highlight the role of a unique standard data model for geological informations. In particular the Geological Survey of Italy is member of Interoperability working group of the IUGS-CGI that has developed the geological data model (GeoSciML) and the encoding language for the geological information. This model is based on an extension of the GML language and, at the moment, exist two version: 2.1.1, that it's the data model using by OneGeology-Europe project and the version 3.0 using with simplify profile by INSPIRE data specification Annex II, and with a full profile by CGI IWG and OneGeology-global initiative.
