Abstract: Thanks to a dynamic development of the society, the requirements of individual sectors, IT development, climate change and its consequences as well as the fulfilment of tasks arising from the relevant Slovak legislation, directives and decisions of the European Commission larger and larger demands are addressed to current information relating to the environment and geology as such. The information obtained by geological research and exploration are effectively utilized only in terms of general and simple availability. In the European Union a natural geological standardized system for the provision of information through the Internet is a common practice. These services are in most cases entrusted to the competent geological surveys. In the Slovak Republic the State Geological Institute of Dionýz Štúr is in charge of the Geological Survey services.
