在国家基础地理信息中心下载到的数据格式是Shape file数据。Shape file数据由3个文件构成，*.shp，*.dbf和*.shx，分别存储空间数据、属性数据和两者间的关系。*.shp得专门的软件浏览。*.dbf采用一般文本浏览器就可以浏览，Excel可以直接编辑dbf文件。
开源GIS软件支持的数据集一般还有WKT和GML。WKT是文本形式的GIS数据，PostGIS中空间数据的存储便是以WKT形式存储的。GML是XML格式的GIS数据。
PostGIS提供了shp2pgsql.exe工具，能够将shp文件转化为sql语句，执行这些sql命令就可以将相关内容导入PostgreSQL数据库中。导入后的表截图如下：
前面几列都是属性数据，最后一列是空间数据。第一行最后一列的内容如下：

数据入库后，就可以开始应用开发了。:P
一切是这么的简单！
后续内容包括应用开发和索引、缓存机制的实现
过段时间再写
