چکیده

Today, the thematic layer is still the prevailling structure in geomatics for handling geographical information. However, the layer model is rigid: it implies partitionning geographical data in predefined categories and using the same description schema for all elements of a layer. Recently, Logical Information Systems (LIS) introduced a new paradigm for information management and retrieval. Using LIS, we propose a more flexible organisation of vectorial geographical data at a thiner level since it is centered on the geographical feature. LIS do not rely on a hierarchical organisation of information, and enable to tightly combine querying and navigation. In this article, we present the use of LIS to handle geographical data. In particular, we detail a data model for geographical features and the corresponding querying and navigation model. These models have been implemented in the GEOLIS prototype, which has been used to lead experiments on real data. RÉSUMÉ. La structuration de l’information géographique en couche thématique est actuellement le modèle d’organisation le plus usité en géomatique. Cependant, ce modèle peut paraître rigide : il impose une partition des données géographiques et un schéma de description fixe par couche. Depuis peu, les Systèmes d’Information Logiques (SIL) offent un nouveau paradigme pour l’organisation et la recherche d’information. Avec les SIL, nous proposons un modèle d’organisation des données géographiques vectorielles plus flexible, centré sur l’entité géographique. Les SIL n’imposent aucune structuration hiérarchique de l’information et permettent de combiner étroitement interrogation et navigation. Dans cet article, nous présentons nos travaux sur l’utilisation des SIL en géographie. Nous détaillons un modèle de données, d’interrogation et de navigation, et nous illustrons son application sur un jeu de données réelles.
