摘要：Global Mapping project intends to develop and update global digital framework geoinformation under the cooperation of National Mapping Organizations (NMOs) of all over the world. The project seeks to develop global geographic framework data to contribute to solving global environmental problems and realising sustainable development. In spite of the serious efforts made for promoting the project, it has not gained recognition by the public. In view of the importance of publication, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (MLIT) set up a Committee on Application Strategy for Global Maps in 2003. In a plan developed in 2004 by this committee, six projects were proposed as appropriate activities to publicize the applications of Global Map. Among others, "Global Map School" is considered to be the most practicable. The "Global Map School" is a project to apply Global Map to educational field. Execution of this project is expected to become a touchstone for the successful application of geographic information developed by using remote sensing and other technologies, in international communication in education
