Abstract: As an important source of historical geographic information, the demand for ancient maps is increasing. In view of the lack of a systematic and comprehensive display platform for ancient and modern maps in China, based on the registration of 4000 pieces of ancient and old maps of China, a spatiotemporal integration and operation platform of ancient and modern maps in China is built by using geographic information system, database, SOA, Web services, ArcGIS API for JavaScript and other technologies. Through the overlay and comparison of ancient and modern maps, the platform can directly show the changes of geographical and human environment on PC and mobile. The platform provides the functions of fast query, retrieval, display, input and output, and management of ancient map image data to provide support for urban planning and construction, historical geography research.

Key words: ancient and modern maps, spatiotemporal integration, operation, platform, ancient map
