Among them, for the mine surveying and mapping work, it can take the initiative to combine the surveying and mapping geographic information service to realize the surveying and mapping analysis of the mine data and relevant data, and provide good decision-making data for the mine surveying and mapping work. In view of this, this paper mainly based on the development background of the period of big data, mining surveying and mapping geographic information service issues are studied and analyzed for reference.展开更多

As a feasible solution, Global Energy Interconnection(GEI) has been highly praised and positively responded by the international community once proposed by China. From strategic conception to implementation, GEI development has entered a new phase of joint action now. Gathering and building a global grid database is a prerequisite for conducting research on GEI. Based on the requirement of global grid data management and application, combining with big data and geographic information technology, this paper studies the global grid data acquisition and analysis process, sorts out and designs the global grid database structure supporting GEI research, and builds a global grid database system.展开更多
