Abstract

Actually, in most hypermedia systems, media (e.g., geographic maps, sound, images, videos) are considered as passive types. Their management is reduced to the minimum: they can not be handled, neither modified or queried. Moreover, their specific semantics is not taken into account. To solve the problem of passive geographic map media and to provide the user with the whole semantics of a geographic map media, we propose the conceptual merger of a Hypermedia System (HS) and a Geographic Information System (GIS).
