Abstract: The persistent mild-explosive activity of Stromboli volcano (Aeolian Archipelago, Southern Italy) is episodically interrupted by much more energetic and dangerous episodes called paroxysms. The Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (Italy) set up the interdisciplinary UNO Project (UNderstanding the Ordinary to forecast the extraordinary), aimed at understanding when the Stromboli volcano is about to switch from the ordinary to the extraordinary (dangerous) activity. The UNO Project includes an outstanding variety of research activities, including the collection of new data within the timeframe of the Project (2019–2025). Key to the success of the Project is the collection of integrated high spatial and temporal resolution data and their joint analyses in a shared relational geo-spatial database. Here, we present the development of this database, focusing on the preparatory work and the design of the logical model. Several hints and examples are provided to bridge the gap between the standard perspective of field volcanologists and the technical issues and caveats governing the domain of relational geo-spatial databases.
