Cartographie sur demande sur le web et bases de données multidimensionnelles. De la personnalisation par couches cartographiques à la personnalisation par occurrences

Recent years have witnessed the emerging of web mapping applications. These applications allow a user to have access to spatial data, to support a descriptive query or map visualization and production. However, existing applications are rather limited regarding the flexibility offered to the user. This paper proposes to revisit and enrich the Map-on-Demand concept. We present the limitations of existing applications and suggest a new database structure allowing the development of more flexible on-demand web mapping applications. Based on the VUEL concept, this structure supports three types of multiplicities at the class level as well as at the occurrence level: geometric, semantic, graphic. In order to test and demonstrate all the flexibility of such a structure, we present an on-demand web mapping application currently under development.
