Distribution, interoperability, interactivity, component are four main features of distributed GIS. Based on the principle of hypermap, hypermedia and distributed database, the paper comes up with a kind of distributed spatial data model which is in accordance with those features of distributed GIS. The model takes catalog service as the outline of spatial information globalization, and defines data structure of hypermap node in different level. based on the model, it is feasible to manage and process distributed spatial information, and integrate multi-source, heterogeneous spatial data into a framework. Traditionally, to retrieve and access spatial data via Internet is only by theme or map name. With the concept of the model, it is possible to retrieve, load, and link spatial data by vector-based graphics on the Internet.
