Abstract
The paper describes technological support for Monitoring the State Geological Map of the Russian Federation and its continental shelf at a scale of 1 : 1,000,000, third generation (SGM-1000/3). Monitoring the SGM-1000/3 from 2002 to 2025 provided data for the paper. The article describes key data resources for the SGM-1000/3 monitoring activities. The Serial Legends data resource was originally created to update series legends of the SGM-1000/3 sheets, although it is currently integrated into the monitoring activity and significantly expanded to work with sheet legends, allowing for generating symbols in the data publication application of the Unified geological-cartographic model. The web application ggkmon-webm-ap enables access to the Model database via the Internet. The data loader program for the Unified geological-cartographic model database and the automated data verification program MapInspector not only facilitate map sets data upload but also validate against regulatory documents. Additionally, the article provides an overview of data content, verification and loading technologies, data publication, and procedures to work with data resources when accessing data.
