本文介绍了MapX，这是一种空间数据基础设施，旨在通过增加对最佳可用地理空间信息和相关监测技术的获取来支持自然资源和环境的可持续利用。MapX得到提供地方、国家和全球各级权威空间数据的在线平台、使用记分卡的认证数据完整性框架和一套可视化、分析和访问地理空间数据的在线工具的支持。MapX最初是为采掘业的利益攸关方创建的，最近已扩展到其他领域，在这些领域，空间数据可以帮助为利益攸关方对话、确定投资优先顺序和影响监测提供信息，如减少灾害风险、化学品管理、生物多样性规划、可再生能源和环境安全。本文描述了该平台的开源软件堆栈、其主要功能以及计划中的特点，并总结了一些关键经验教训。
This paper describes MapX, a spatial data infrastructure that aims to support the sustainable use of natural resources and the environment by increasing access to the best available geospatial information and related monitoring technologies. MapX is supported by an online platform that provides authoritative spatial data at local, national and global scales, an authentication data integrity framework using a scorecard and a set of on-line tools to visualize, analyze and access geospatial data. Originally created for stakeholders involved in the extractives sector, MapX has recently expanded to other fields where spatial data can help inform stakeholder dialog, prioritization of investments and impact monitoring such as disaster risk reduction, chemicals management, biodiversity planning, renewable energy and environmental security. This paper describes the open source software stack of the platform, its key functionalities as well as its planned features and concludes by capturing some of the key lessons learned.
