A Bridge between Document Management System and Geographical Information System

The power of geographic information system is to help managers make critical decisions they face daily. The ability to make sound decisions relies upon the availability of relevant information. Typically, spatial databases do not contain much information that could support the decision making, Process ill all situations. To extend the available dataset. we propose ail approach for the enrichment of geographical databases (GDB) and especially their semantic component. This enrichment is performed by providing knowledge extracted from web documents to supplement the aspatial data of the GDB. The knowledge extraction process is reached through the generation of condensed representation of the relevant information derived from a web corpus. This process is carried Out it) a distributed fashion that complies with the multi-agents paradigm.
