N2 - Complex spatial data is the fundamental content of Smart Earth. Spatial data mining plays an important role in Smart Earth. In this paper, it is proposed that "Smart earth equals to Digital Earth plus the Internet of Things", which brings a new challenge for spatial data mining. First, the background of spatial data is summarized. Second, Smart Earth is put forward to be an integration of Digital Earth and the Internet of Things. Third, by analyzing the spatial data sources, types and structures, it uncovers that spatial data is the resource of Smart Earth. Fourth, spatial knowledge to discover in Smart Earth are analyzed on its connotations, extensions and categories. It indicates that spatial knowledge is the intelligent sources of Smart Earth. Fifth, based on spatial data characteristics and possible methodologies, the framework of spatial data mining is given under Smart Earth. Finally, the perspective of applicable fields is prospected for spatial data mining under Smart Earth. It is concluded that spatial data mining is one of the fundamental tools to achieve Smart Earth.
