地质图是地质信息最重要的载体之一，凝聚了人们对地质理论的研究成果和对地质过程的理解。随着大数据时代的到来，地质制图的指导理论和方法手段发生了翻天覆地的变化，全球的科学家运用新方法新技术建立了OneGeology、OpenGeoscience、NGMDB、地质云等一系列地质图相关的优秀数据库，这些数据库的有效运行为全球的地质工作者提供了海量的地学数据和便捷的信息服务。此次研究重点调研了国内外已有的地质图相关数据库及运行情况，为Deep-Time Digital Earth （DDE） 计划整合全球地质图相关数据库、建设相关数据平台提供经验和基础；同时，回顾了地质制图的发展历史，介绍了与地质制图相关的技术手段和常用软件；最后，为了满足大数据时代经济社会对地质图信息资料服务的需求，结合DDE 相关任务，对深化国际合作编图、创新计算机智能地质制图及网络共享服务等核心技术提出了新的展望。

Geological map is one of the most important carriers of geological information. It contains the condensed discoveries of geological research and understandings of geological process. In the new era of big data, the guiding theories and methods for geological mapping have been thoroughly altered. Scientists around the world have used the new methods and techniques to establish a series ofexcellent databases related to geological maps, such as OneGeology, OpenGeoscience, NGMDB, and Geological Cloud. The effective operation of these databases provides a great amount of geoscience data and convenient information services for geologists worldwide. The current paper reviews the existing databases related to geological map and their operations., This could provide experience for integrating global databases related to geological map and constructing data platforms in Deep-Time Digital Earth (DDE) Big Science Program. History of geological mapping is reviewed and the techniques and common software serving for geological mapping are introduced. In order to meet the present needs of economic society about geological information service, as well as the mission of DDE, necessary actions such as strengthening the international cooperation of geological mapping, introducing AI technique, and enhancing data sharing, are proposed.
