Sažetak
During the last ten years geodetic measurement technologies significantly improved the knowledge about the geodynamics of Adriatic micro-plate. Of course, one should not forget important results achieved with electro-optical distance-meters few decades as well. Repeated satellite measurements within the projects like Croatian geodynamic network (CRODYN), Central Europe Regional Geodynamics Project (CERGOP), Geodynamic network of the City of Zagreb and several local geodynamical projects in Slovenia yielded a huge amount of observations and derived results. Especially CERGOP has integrated a considerable part of geodynamic research in Central Europe, established a large number of collaborative activities, exchange of information and perhaps most notably - mutual trust and understanding among the participants. The goals of recently started Fifth Framework European Commission project CERGOP-2/Environment are among others to support local area geodynamic research, environmental studies, seismic hazard assessments, meteorology. All these results should be systematically organized into geodynamic databases. Such databases must include the temporal component beside the three spatial components. This paper reviews efforts done so far and describes a conceptual model of geodynamic information system (GeodIS), with a spatio-temporal database management system as its core, possibilities of the implementation of such system in networked environment. Monitoring geodynamical phenomena is a long-term project and careful preparation of data storage and management facilities is necessary in order to enable users with various needs accessing the information from various types of computers running various operating systems. At the implementation level, we stress the advantages of platform-independent object-relational technology tied with Java Database Connectivity (JDBC). Finally, we discuss possible uses of such system for practical purposes. Since CERGOP-2 includes a Multipurpose and Interdisciplinary Sensor Array for Environmental Research in Central Europe, it is obvious that practical importance of geodynamic information grows above classical interests of geodesists and geophysicists only. Therefore, it is necessary more than ever that such information is spread using the means of communication accessible and understandable by all interested parties.
