1. Introduction The Croatian Geological Survey, Zagreb, Sachsova 2, Croatia. The institute has 112 employees ; 70 of them are research scientists with academic degrees, 17 are technical and support staff and 25 are administrative employees. The HGI-CGS consists of three departments: the Department of Geology, the Department of Hydrogeology and Engineering Geology and the Department of Mineral Resources, as well as an on-site library and laboratory. 2. Data policy issues The data delivery is in the paper form and CD/DVD-ROM. 3. Hardware — recent trends Hardware is based on Ms Windows PCs. Recently installed HP Design Jet 4500 mfp. 4. Software — recent trends MS SQL Server 2003, ESRI ArcSDE 9.0, ArcGIS 9.0, extensions Geostatistical Analyst, Spatial Analyst, 3D Analyst and CadMap + Raster Design 2007. 5. Major developments, goals achieved 5.1. Achievement 1 A working group of geologist (RaSULiN) is engaged on: the standardization of geologic data entry (numerical and graphical), building of geological digital database, organize and adjust data for import into standard forms, the integration of the existing databases into unique system and developing the reference manual in the production of the Basic geological map, scale 1: 50, 000. 5.2. Achievement 2 The digital field manual is used by geologists for the input of the new and old data. 5.3. Achievement 3 The physical model of the Geological Information System has partly made. This model makes logical connections between all thematic entities, such as geological, structural-tectonic, hydrogeological, engineering-geological, geochemical and geomorphological. 6. Problems encountered 6.1. Problem 1 The majority of data are still in the paper form or in the unstandardized digital form. 6.2. Problem 2 The lack of standard for data entry. 6.3. Problem 3 The need for IT staff. 6.3. Problem 4 GIS is developing separately in the different departments. 7. Conclusions, future plans and strategies Finishing Geological Information System and set up web GIS intranet and internet browsers. The integration of all existing databases into a unified Geological Information System. Continuing work on the standardization of the geological data. Education of geologists for working with GIS.
