Développement de systèmes spatiaux d'aide à la décision en environnement : applications de l'Outil Géo-Environnemental d'Aide à la Décision (OGEAD) valorisant les données sols

Abstract

Setting up Spatial Decision Support Systems in environmental fields: examples from “Outil Géo-Environnemental d'Aide à la Décision (OGEAD)” with a special emphasis for soil data. OGEAD is a project that aims to disseminate geographical information related to the environment to civil servants and interested people. This publication describes/explains three examples highlighting environmental data, in particular those related to soil. These examples show an evolution from stand alone applications to WebGIS applications allowing intranet and internet distribution. The publication emphasises the importance of linking data distribution with adapted tools for an efficient use; these tools include various components such as presentation, interpretation and diagnostics.
