Research on Spatial Information/knowledge Resource Organization in Grid Environment

Following the advancement of spatial acquisition technologies, more and more spatial data/information has been collected by the integrated ground-air spatial information collection system. Spatial information is geographically distributed in various locations and belongs to different organizations with a rapid increment in the aspects such as scale and complexity. We have unprecedented challenge of increment of spatial information/knowledge resources today. Grid technology is a new revolutionary technology aimed to solve resources sharing on the web. Grid technology is not only a new technology, but also is a new thought. The emergence of grid technology provides a new approach to spatial knowledge automatic acquisition and sharing. This paper studies this new technology in spatial information/knowledge sharing. In this paper, complex network theory, spatial resource management and organization characteristics, and spatial resource model are discussed. A spatial resource management and organization model is also proposed in the paper. * corresponding author.
