Method and device for updating geographic elements in current situation data table

The invention discloses a method and device for updating geographic elements in a current situation data table, and the method comprises the steps: obtaining element data of ground feature measurement, the element data having a unique ID, a time attribute and a region attribute, and one element data ID having one or more different regions; determining the element data as updating data of the current data under the condition that the ID, the time attribute and the area attribute of the element data are judged to be free from conflicts with records with the same ID in the current data table, and adding the element data into the current data table, and storing the data with the same ID as the element data in the current situation data table into a historical data table. According to the method and the device, the problems that historical data backtracking at any moment cannot be realized due to a versioning updating mechanism and quantitative analysis cannot be performed on data change in a specified time period
