Abstract
The history of coalfield geology and mine geology IT applications is over 30 years, which is gaining remarkable achievements. This paper sheds light on the development of geological and surveying spatial management information systems. Specifically, this study proposed the development trend, system structure and function design and sub-systems of the new generation of geological and surveying spatial management information system by benefitting from the recent advancements in computer and spatial information technologies. The sub-systems include the “One Map” online collaborative (2D-GIS) management platform, the geological survey mapping collaborative management system, the integrated service system based on “one map”, the three-dimensional dynamic geological model system, the three-dimensional transparent management platform, and water prevention and control information management system. This work is an important foundation to realize the IT information and intelligent management of coal industry. The successful development and application of the new generation of geological and surveying spatial management information system will provide the dynamic data support for the online decision-making of the intelligent coal mining.

(3) Starting from the late 1990s, Peking University, Beijing Longruan Technology Co., Ltd., and Xi’an University of Science and Technology worked on the research and development (R&D) of the coalfield geology and mine geological IT applications (Mao 2002; Feng and Wang 2011)
Since the late 1990s, domestic research institutes and high-tech enterprises focused on the R&D of geological and surveying spatial management information systems based on Geographic Information System (GIS) technology, which showed remarkable results
Summary
Coalmine is a traditional industry with a heritage of more than 1000 years. Before the computer technology was applied to the underground coal mine systems, various types of geospatial information, such as coal seam, roof and floor, aquifers, faults, scouring belts, coal seam outcrops, coal seam gas content, and measurement data, were manually processed. Since the late 1990s, domestic research institutes and high-tech enterprises focused on the R&D of geological and surveying spatial management information systems based on GIS technology, which showed remarkable results. In China, coal prospecting departments, as well as large and medium-scale coal enterprises, have mostly utilized domestic systems based on GIS and network technologies, instead of imported software These systems are easy to operate and practical, and they meet the needs of the coal mine industry (Yoon and Hyeong 2004; Guillen et al 2001; He and Zeng 2013). Mao systems have reached the level of internationally advanced, some of which (e.g., the automatic processing of faults) have even reached the international leading level It realizes the network management of geological prospecting and coalmine production departments in geological survey information. The information management system of a geological survey based on the demand of open-pit mine and CAD technology has not been applied to the domestic geological exploration or well mining departments yet
