Based on the experience and achievement of the＂China Digital Ocean＂, the classification plan for Marine data elements is made, which can be classified into five, including marine point elements, marine line elements, marine polygon elements, marine grid elements and marine dynamic elements. In this paper, the technology of features and object-oriented method, a spatial-temporal data model is proposed, which can be applied in the large information system engineering like the ＂Digital Ocean＂, and this paper discusses the application of spatial data model, marine three-dimensional raster data model and relation data model in the building of Data Warehouse in ＂China Digital Ocean＂, and concludes the merits of these models.
Sphere model is the research hotspot in the GIS domain presently. It has become a strong integrated platform of spatial information with its strong abilities of spatial data management and visualization. Based on Skyline software, this paper introduces the framework, functions and technical method of realization of visual digital ocean system. The practice proves that the system has a good future in marine information visualization and sharing.
