Abstract
Archives of published planetary maps hosted at the United States Geological Survey or other facilities consist of a large number of small to large-scale geologic maps of terrestrial planets, in particular the Moon and Mars. Along with recent and upcoming missions also to Mercury, the Outer Solar System moons, and asteroids systematic mapping of surfaces has received new impulses. As planetary geologic mapping today is performed by individual scientists not only in the US but also in Europe with dedicates mission programs and participations (ESA Mars Express, ESAJUICE, …) a general framework of mapping and in particular for organizing cartographic output is paramount. This work presented here provides a general overview of cartographic and data requirements in the context of collaborative mapping programs and establishes an innovative data framework that allows data integration, management and access in order to support communication of scientific results across disciplines and the public.
