Despite the development of measurement methods and the increasing amount of new generation data in rock engineering, many valuable information data are lost together with the locked-out mining archives and associated research institutions. Consequently, a lot of valuable, unique information which could be transformed into new values totally vanishes. Geomechanics, as a relatively new discipline, has so far no tradition of integrated databases. In the European Union, integration attempts are realized through enforcement of the uniform standards; however, the standardization alone will fail to be a successful integration solution until the Digital Terrain Model Data is not implemented into the rock mechanics. Modern information technologies enable to combine and visualize various thematic data, e.g., geological, hydrogeological and mining into a unified digital system with reference to Geographic Information System (GIS). If all the geomechanical data are clearly localized, they can be interpreted, presented, and supplemented with the archival data in a unified format. Visualization of the content of the relational databases by means of digital maps can be done automatically which, as regards rock engineering, will enable the automatic integration of the laboratory data with the geospatial conditions of the environment, including the Spatial Information System (SIP) or Terrain Information System (SIT), i.e., the topographic, geological/environmental and anthropogenic situation (like population, infrastructure, land use plans and prognoses of hazards caused by the land transformation).
