Data Management "A standardised database improves usability The information produced by our partners is verified and saved in GTK’s standardised databases. The data will be made accessible to all who need it, and it can be downloaded via our web-based user interface. Joint access is valuable to everyone operating in the field of geology Storing the geological information produced by different organisations in a centralised database benefits not only those operating in the field of geology but also society as a whole. Users can take use of the data produced in earlier research, which means more resources are available for new research and innovation. "
