Abstract
This paper focuses on the issue of geographical data’s copyrights protection. A Geo-WDBMS has been built by embedding the watermarking functions into the inner code of the open source DBMS PostgreSQL. And its core watermarking mechanism is to insert and detect mark bits in the coordinates of the vertices in geographical objects using the methods of classifying and twice majority-voting. Further more, error correcting mechanism is used to enhance the resilience of the system and blind watermark is realized. Experiments on watermarking digital maps showed that the marked maps are inconspicuous and robust to various attacks.
