Des indicateurs et des métadonnées pour les décrire : intégration au sein d'atlas géomatique en ligne

Based on indicators and monitoring dashboards for the observed phenomena, the decision support tools provide documents taking different forms (summaries, websites, fact sheets), easy to use by players in the field. To allow users to correctly interpret the synthesized information, description of the underlying data sets and processing is an undeniable contribution. We propose an innovative approach, which, in the context of the construction of dashboards designed around data warehouses, such as online atlas allows the establishment of a system integrating the generation, management and publication of metadata. We illustrate this point by the experience of an online atlas for the sustainable management of fisheries and the environment in Mauritania.
