摘　　要：自上世纪八十年代末以来,基于数据库和各种定量分析方法的古生物学、地层学、古地理学、古生态学研究逐渐成为当今国际地学研究的前沿和热点。中国的古生物学和地层学数字化科研平台的建设,最早的设计思路始于2001年,于2003年进行了首次尝试,并于2007年整合了多种相关数据资源,正式启动了GeoBiodiversity database(GBDB)这一古生物学和地层学数字化科研平台的建设。在这一平台中,目前已整合了古生物分类数据、剖面地理信息数据、岩石地层数据、化石产出数据、生物地层数据、文献数据等多项数据资源,同时还结合科学研究和生产应用的需求开发了地理信息可视化和地层信息可视化功能,以及初步的多样性分析和定量地层对比功能。这一平台的最终建设目的,是成为科学家和相关人员使用古生物学和地层学数据,开展各种定性和定量分析的国际化、网络化的科研辅助平台。Since the late 1980＇s,database techniques and related methods of mass data storage and quantitative analysis have been applied widely to various geological studies including palaeobiology,strati-graphy,palaeogeography,palaeoclimatology and palaeoecology.The development in China of a palaeobiology and stratigraphy database was initi-ated in Nanjing in 2003 and by 2007 had evolved into a more comprehensive project-with the aim of developing useful tools for quantitative researches in these subject areas with state-of-the-art eScience technology.Its goal is to facilitate regional and global scientific collaborations focused on studying the history,diversity,geography and environmental context of life on Earth.The present database is constructed through the GeoBiodiversity database（GBDB）platform,with the integration of abundant data sources of systematic palaeontology,palaeogeography,lithostratigraphy,fossil occurrences,biostratigraphy and bibliography,and provides public access.It is not a collection based database like PaleoDB（the Paleobiology Database）,but a section-based database,and therefore provides the possibility to conduct various stratigraphic analysis.Two visualization tools for geographic and stratigraphic data mining and three primary data tools for analysis of paleodiversity,and for quantitative stratigraphic correlation and paleogeographic reconstruction are available in the current version.
