The OCG WMS Service showing the Geology of Italy at 1:500.000 scale is based on the digitization of the Geological Map of Italy at the same scale published during the 1970's and 1980's by the Geological Survey of Italy. The layers available are: Chronostratigraphy, lithostratigraphy and lithology.

The database of the 1:1.000.000 scale Geological Map of Italy, named GEO1MDB, is structured into 4 geometric layers and 3 descriptive tables. The layers are: Geologic Units, Tectonics Units, Geologic Structures and Regional Structures.

The Geological Map of Italy at a scale 1:1.000.000 is a service provided for the OneGeology-Europe project. The layers display geological units classified using the harmonized nomenclature for lithology, age and geological structure given by the attributes contained in the WP3 standard vocabularies.

The database containing the Geological Map of Italy at a scale 1:500.000 was compiled during the 1990's by digitizing the published map in raster format. All the information contained is derived from the published map that was compiled using a lithostratigraphic approach. The database is structured in 2 layers and 1 descriptive table.

The IFFI project (Italian Landslide Inventory) is carried out by the Geological Survey of Italy in ISPRA (National Institute for Environmental Protection and Research) in cooperation with the Italian Regions and Independent Provinces. In the database are stored more than 485,000 landslides that cover more or less the 7 % of the national territory. The dataset is composed by three different level of information, each landslide is identified by a source point (PIFF) that is linked with a details form. The dataset is differentiated in according with the geometry of landslide object in: points (the source point), lines (when there is a runoff way of landslide deposits) and polygons that are subdivided in: Deep Gravitational deformation, diffused shallow landslide and landslide deposits.

The dataset of the ITHACA (ITaly HAzard from CApable faults) project, is built on a faults database, where is stored all the information available about the Italian active tectonic structures. It takes in account the active tectonic processes that could be able to generate natural hazard. In the database are archived all the faults that can produce surface deformations. The main attribute are: the type of kinematic, the type of fault and the geoenviromental evidence.
