The activity of the Division focuses on the application of information technologies for the development of systems related to Earth Sciences. Its main objective is the design and implementation of infrastructures and systems that help researchers, technicians, companies, students and society,
in general, to reuse available geoscientific information.

This activity encompasses the modelling, capture, management and dissemination of this information, for which the Division builds maps, databases, repositories, applications, web sites and services and metadata, using the most appropriate available technology, both open source and commercial tools.

Among the technologies used are Database Management Systems, GIS and ETL applications, Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) and Open Access, metadata and source code repositories.

The area participates in funded projects to obtain resources to enable the technological systems to be updated and advance in the knowledge of the continuous evolution of the technology necessary for its activities. It is currently actively participating in developing the technological platform to build the future European Geological Survey.
