A methodology for the publication of agricultural alert bulletins as LOD
Computers and Electronics in Agriculture, 2017
abs doi web bib

In this paper, we present our Semantic Web system for the storage of 19,448 agricultural alert bulletins in France. The archive of alert bulletins was published on the Web as Linked Open Data (LOD). LOD uses Semantic Web technologies to publish data on the Web. Some best practices for publishing Linked Data are already proposed. We enrich these best practices in order to meet some specific information retrieval needs: spatiotemporal and thematic annotations and aggregation indicators. We illustrate our proposal by the publication of our archive. We describe our methodology for building the system and highlight the interest regarding Semantic Web technologies for this agricultural alert storage, publication and analysis. To prove that our system answers our needs, we propose some queries to illustrate the calculation of spatiotemporal aggregation indicators.

GECO, the French Web-based application for knowledge management in agroecology
Computers and Electronics in Agriculture, 2017
abs doi web bib

This paper proposes new approaches to the management and transfer of knowledge in agroecology, utilizing methodological tools developed by the French knowledge management group in the field of agroecology. These tools are based on the transfer of explicit and tacit knowledge within organizations. We apply one of these tools to help better determine the best knowledge transfer method to implement. We also propose a collaborative Web-based application, Agro-PEPS as the prototype and GECO as the final application (geco.ecophytopic.fr), to facilitate knowledge transfer in agriculture. AgroPEPS and GECO allow users to formalize knowledge in a collaborative manner and to make it available to a large community. These tools are based on semantic models related to agroecolog

Cohérence logique dans les systèmes OLAP spatiaux : un état de l’art
International Journal of Geomatics and Spatial Analysis-Revue Internationale de Géomatique 26 (1), 2016
abs doi web bib

Les systèmes d'Entrepôts de Données et « OnLine Analytical Process » spatiaux (EDS et SOLAP) sont des technologies d'aide à la décision permettant l’agrégation et l'analyse multidimensionnelle de gros volumes de données spatiales. En réponse à des actions utilisateurs sur l'interface cliente (exploration), les systèmes SOLAP agrègent les données de l'EDS le long de différentes hiérarchies des dimensions pour calculer des indicateurs d'analyse à différents niveaux de détails. La qualité des indicateurs d'analyse dépend donc de trois facteurs : la qualité des données entreposées, la qualité des agrégations et la qualité de l’exploration des données. La qualité des données entreposées dépend de critères comme la précision, l'exhaustivité et la cohérence logique. La cohérence logique des données est généralement contrôlée par les contraintes d'intégrité qui définissent les conditions que les données doivent satisfaire. La qualité d'agrégation peut être ramenée à la cohérence logique entre les natures des éléments qui sont impliqués dans l'agrégation SOLAP (par ex., mesure, fonction d'agrégation). Cette cohérence d'agrégation est affectée par des problèmes structurels et de problèmes sémantiques. La qualité d'exploration dépend essentiellement de la consistance des requêtes utilisateur (par ex. quelles ont été les valeurs de température en URSS en 2010 ?). Dans cette article nous étendons la notion de cohérence logique des données aux deux autres composantes fondamentales des systèmes SOLAP, à savoir l'agrégation et la requête. Nous présentons un état de l'art et des travaux sur la définition des contraintes d’intégrité pour garantir la cohérence logique au niveau des trois composantes (données, agrégations, et requêtes), ainsi qu' une évaluation de ces travaux et de notre proposition par rapport à un ensemble de critères que nous avons définis. Cette évaluation montre que notre proposition satisfait tous les critères contrairement aux autres.

Intelligent flood adaptive context-aware system: How wireless sensors adapt their configuration based on environmental phenomenon events
Sensors and Transducers 206 (11), 2016
abs web bib

Henceforth, new generations of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) have to be able to adapt their behavior to collect, from the study phenomenon, quality data for long periods of time. We have thus proposed a new formalization for the design and the implementation of context-aware systems relying on a WSN for the data collection. To illustrate this proposal, we also present an environmental use case: the study of flood events in a watershed. In this paper, we detail the simulation tool that we have developed in order to implement our model. We simulate several scenarios of context-aware systems to monitor a watershed. The data used for the simulation are the observation data of the French Orgeval watershed.

Conceptual model for spatial data cubes: A UML profile and its automatic implementation
Computer Standards & Interfaces 38, 2015
abs doi web bib

The increasing availability of geo-referenced data has increased the need to enrich OLAP with spatial analysis, leading to the concept of Spatial OLAP (SOLAP). The conceptual modelling of spatial data cubes requires the definition of two kinds of metadata: (i) warehouse metadata that model data structures that maintain integrated data from multiple data sources and (ii) aggregation1 metadata that specify how the warehoused data should be aggregated to meet the analysis goals of decision makers. In this paper we provide a review of existing conceptual spatial data cube models. We highlight some limits of these models concerning the aggregation model design, and their implementation in existing CASE tools and SOLAP architectures. Firstly, we propose a new UML (Unified Modeling Language) profile for modelling complex Spatial Data Warehouses and aggregations. Our profile is implemented in the MagicDraw CASE tool. Secondly, we propose a tool for the automatic implementation of conceptual spatial data cube models, designed using our profile, in a SOLAP architecture. In particular, our solution allows: (i) generating different logical representations of the SDW (Spatial Data Warehouse) model (star schema and snow-flake schema) and (ii) implementing complex SOLAP analysis indicators using MDX (MultiDimensional eXpressions language).

New design approach to handle spatial vagueness in Spatial OLAP datacubes: Application to agri-environmental data
International Journal of Agricultural and Environmental Information Systems IJAEIS 6 (3), 2015
abs web bib

Spatial-OLAP (SOLAP) technologies are dedicated to multidimensional analysis of large volumes of (spatial) data. Spatial data are subject to different types of uncertainty, in particular spatial vagueness. Although several researches propose new models to cope with spatial vagueness, their integration in SOLAP systems is still in an embryonic state. Also, analyzing multidimensional data with metadata brought by the exploitation of the new models can be too complex and demanding for decision-makers. To help reduce spatial vagueness consequences on the exactness of SOLAP analysis queries, we present a new approach for designing SOLAP datacubes based on end-users' tolerance to the risks of misinterpretation of fact data. An experimentation of the new approach on agri-environmental data is also proposed

An UML profile and SOLAP datacubes multidimensional schemas transformation process for datacubes risk-aware design
International Journal of Data Warehousing and Mining 11 (4), 2015
abs web bib

Spatial Data Warehouses (SDWs) and Spatial On-Line Analytical Processing (SOLAP) systems are new technologies for the integration and the analysis of huge volume of data with spatial reference. Spatial vagueness is often neglected in these types of systems and the data and analysis results are considered reliable. In a previous work, we provided a new design method for SOLAP datacubes that allows the handling of vague spatial data analysis issues. The method consists of tailoring SOLAP datacubes schemas to end-users tolerance levels to identified potential risks of misinterpretation they encounter when exploiting datacubes containing vague spatial data. It this paper, we further our previous proposal by presenting different formal tools to support our method: It is an UML profile providing stereotypes needed to add vague, risks and tolerance levels information on datacubes schemas plus the formal definition of SOLAP datacubes schemas transformation process and functions.

Performance optimization of grid aggregation in spatial data warehouses
International Journal of Digital Earth 8 (12), 2015
abs doi web bib

The problem of storage and querying of large volumes of spatial grids is an issue to solve. In this paper, we propose a method to optimize queries to aggregate raster grids stored in databases. In our approach, we propose to estimate the exact result rather than calculate the exact result. This approach reduces query execution time. One advantage of our method is that it does not require implementing or modifying functionalities of database management systems. Our approach is based on a new data structure and a specific model of SQL queries. Our work is applied here to relational data warehouses.

Towards the use of probabilistic spatial relation databases in business process modeling
International Journal of Agricultural and Environmental Information Systems IJAEIS 6 (3), 2015
abs doi web bib

In this paper, the authors combine the methods of probabilistic databases, GIS (Geographical Information Systems) and business process modelling to evaluate the agricultural activities. The authors provide a technique to evaluate the risk of agricultural activities among the hydrological objects (lakes, rivers, etc.) and agricultural plots. The spatial relation is an important information needed in the evaluation processes. This type of information is usually uncertain and the available data are often not precise. Consequently, probabilistic database is used to capture the uncertainty of the spatial objects in order to estimate the level of possible water and soil contamination (by agricultural inputs). Probabilistic spatial relations provide information on the layout of spatial objects. Probabilities are stored in a probabilistic database. Probabilistic database is a finite number of complete databases that are assigned with a set of probabilities. Probabilistic data-aware business processes integrate the theory of probabilistic database with business processes modeling methods. This new formalism of business processes helps the experts to model the environmental risks in terms of probabilistic spatial relations

Geoinformatica 18 (2), 2014
abs doi web bib

Data Warehouses (DW) and OnLine Analytical Processing (OLAP) tools are used in Business Intelligence (BI) applications in order to support decision-making processes. DWs are a specific type of database used to integrate, accumulate and analyze data from various sources. OLAP tools provide means to query and to analyze the warehoused information and produce online statistical summaries (indicators) at different levels of details. These indicators are computed using aggregate functions (e.g. Sum, Avg, Min, Max, etc.). Users can explore DWs by performing OLAP operations (e.g., Roll-up, Drill-down, etc.). Data mining algorithms can also be used in DWs, aiming towards improving data analysis; these techniques help to discern automatically the correlations and causal links between data. The increasing availability of geo-referenced data has made necessary the need to enrich OLAP with spatial analysis tools. OLAP systems were successfully adapted to solve problems in different areas of application and new kinds of decision support systems, named Spatial Data Warehouses (SDW) and Spatial OLAP (SOLAP) tools have been made available. SDWs are a collection of geographical information supporting spatial analysis. SOLAP tools allow users to perform spatio-temporal exploration of data: these tools combine OLAP analysis with cartographic visualization capabilities of GIS systems. The relevance of SOLAP technology has been widely recognized in several application domains (e.g., marketing, agriculture, environmental risk management, etc.).

Spatial OLAP integrity constraints: From UML-Based specification to automatic implementation: Application to energetic data in agriculture
Journal of Decision Systems 23 (4), 2014
abs doi web bib

Spatial OLAP systems are Business Intelligence technologies allowing efficient and interactive analysis of large spatial data cubes. In this type of systems the correctness of analysis depends on: The warehoused data quality, how aggregations are performed and how data cubes are explored. In this paper we study quality control techniques (based on integrity constraints) related to exploration of spatial data cubes. We extend our UML framework previously proposed with a UML profile allowing the conceptual design of several classes of exploration integrity constraints. We also propose a tool for their automatic implementation. We validate our proposal in the context of a real case study concerning the analysis of energetic farm energetic indicators.

In this paper we study quality control techniques (based on integrity constraints) related to exploration of spatial data cubes. We extend our UML framework previously proposed with a UML profile allowing the conceptual design of several classes of exploration integrity constraints. We also propose a tool for their automatic implementation. We validate our proposal in the context of a real case study concerning the analysis of energetic farm energetic indicators.}, }

A hybrid risk-aware design method for spatial datacubes handling spatial vague data: Implementation and validation
International Journal of Business Intelligence and Data Mining 9 (3), 2014
abs web bib

Spatial Data Warehouses (SDW) and Spatial OLAP (SOLAP) are well-known Business Intelligence (BI) technologies that aim to support multidimensional and online analysis of huge volumes of data with spatial reference. Spatial vagueness is one of the most neglected imperfections of spatial data. Although several works propose new adhoc models for handling spatial vagueness, their implementation in Spatial Database Management Systems (DBMS) and SDW is still in an embryonic state. In this paper, we present a new design method for SOLAP datacubes that allows handling vague spatial data analysis issues. This method relies on a risk management method applied to the potential risks of data misinterpretation and decision-makers’ tolerance levels to those risks. We also present a tool implementing our method and a validation of the method is done based on the designed datacubes schemas testing.

In the context of crop model design for industrial purposes, this paper proposes a domain-specific modeling approach to provide a crop model factory for the modelers in agronomy. The authors’ approach proposes to separate the concerns of representing the simulation process (process-based dynamics) and the plant data structure. They propose a refined and stabilized metamodel for the dynamics based on past preliminary work. This paper also explains how the Model-View-Controller design pattern can be applied to DSML environments to produce a more specialist-friendly interface. In addition, the authors propose a metamodeling usage of the Model-View-Controller offering the potential to develop a DSML for DSMLs design.

Guaranteeing the quality of multidimensional analysis in data warehouses of simulation results: application to pesticide transfer data produced by the MACRO Model
Ecological Informatics 16, 2013
abs web bib

Currently, the vital impact of environmental pollution on economic, social and health dimensions has been recognized. The need for theoretical and implementation frameworks for the acquisition, modeling and analysis of environmental data as well as tools to conceive and validate scenarios is becoming increasingly important. For these reasons, different environmental simulation models have been developed. Researchers and stakeholders need efficient tools to store, display, compare and analyze data that are produced by simulation models. One common way to manage simulation results is to use text files; however, text files make it difficult to explore the data. Spreadsheet tools (e.g., OpenOffice, MS Excel) can help to display and analyze model results, but they are not suitable for very large volumes of information. Recently, some studies have shown the feasibility of using Data Warehouse (DW) and On-Line Analytical Processing (OLAP) technologies to store model results and to facilitate model visualization, analysis and comparisons. These technologies allow model users to easily produce graphical reports and charts. In this paper, we address the analysis of pesticide transfer simulation results by warehousing and OLAPing data, for which the data results from the MACRO simulation model. This model simulates hydrological transfers of pesticides at the plot scale. We demonstrate how the simulation results can be managed using DW technologies. We also demonstrate how the use of integrity constraints can improve OLAP analysis. These constraints are used to maintain the quality of the warehoused data as well as to maintain the aggregations and queries, which will lead to better analysis, conclusions and decisions.

Representations of topological relations between simple regions in description logics: from formalization to consistency checking

This paper proposes an operational approach to (1) formalize, in Description Logics (DL), the topological relations between simple regions and (2) automatically check whether a set of relations is consistent. The solution allows for the use of traditional DL reasoners (Pellet, Fact++, etc.) to check the consistency of relations and detect the sources of error. The solution does not require any specific extension of the DL or reasoner. The authors demonstrate how to apply this approach with Protégé and Fact++. Different spatial relations in agricultural and environmental applications are also provided to illustrate the possible uses of our method.

EIS Pesticides: An environmental information system to characterize agricultural activities and calculate agro-environmental indicators at embedded watershed scales
Agricultural Systems 122, 2013
abs doi web bib

The French 'Ecophyto 2018' program calls for a 50% reduction in pesticide use. Local authorities are required to design cost-effective measures to minimize the impact of farmers’ pesticides on water resources. A successful implementation of these new measures can only be achieved through a better understanding of the interactions between water, land use and the environment. One way of doing this is to calculate pesticide pressure and agro-environmental indicators (AEIs). However, this approach requires an effective information system that can process both the characteristics of the river basin and the agricultural activities using at least two embedded scales: the scale of the small agricultural catchment for action by farmers and the scale of a larger watershed for public decision making. To this end, an environmental information system (EIS Pesticide) for pesticide issues was created using spatial data warehouse technology. This system allowed qualifying agricultural activities along with river basin characteristics. Specific spatial objects were designed to characterize practices at the relevant scales. The axes of analysis allowed providing results at different levels of integration, for different dimensions e.g. time, sprayed surface area, or pesticide type. The system was tested using datasets collected in the Charente watershed and its sub-basins and calculated pesticide pressure indicators on demand for each aggregation level defined.

Entity-relationship and object-oriented formalisms for modeling spatial environmental data
Environmental Modelling & Software 30, 2012

Entity-Relationship (ER) and Object-Oriented (OO) formalisms are often used to model environmental information of databases or computer programs. The majority of the environmental information are georeferenced. However, for 20 years, researchers have proposed different methods to adapt ER and OO to model spatial data. Spatial information is complex, and the goal is to simplify its representation in conceptual models. The goal of this paper is to propose a classification and a list of work in the area of ER and OO formalisms for spatial information. Numerous bibliographical references on the subject are also provided. The article targets mainly researchers working in the area of environment domain hoping to find a bibliographical entry to the subject.

Un modèle UML et des contraintes OCL pour les entrepôts de données spatiales : de la représentation conceptuelle à l'implémentation
Ingénierie des Systèmes d'Information 16 (6), 2011
abs doi web bib

Spatial Data Warehouses (SDW) and Spatial OLAP (SOLAP) systems represent an effec-tive solution to perform spatial analysis on geographical phenomena. However, the quality of such analysis heavily depends on the quality of stored data and how these data are explored: how the different indicators are computed (What aggregate functions are applied to summa-rize the measures and in what order these functions are applied?). In this context, a number of studies have been attempted to address the issues of data quality in SDW by using Integ-rity Constraints (IC). In this paper, motivated by the lack of Model Driven Architecture (MDA)-based implementations, we propose a conceptual framework based on two new clas-sifications to ease identification and implementation of SDW IC. Moreover, following an MDA approach, we propose the MDA-based modeling of most IC categories using the UML (Unified Modeling Language) and OCL (Object Constraint Language) standard languages; and show the automatic implementation of some IC classes using an MDA-based code gen-erator, called Spatial OCL2SQL. / Les Entrepôts de Données Spatiales (EDS) et les systèmes SOLAP représentent une solution efficace pour l'analyse spatiale de phénomènes géographiques. Cependant, la qualité de cette analyse dépend fortement de la qualité des données entreposées et de la manière dont l'exploration de ces données est réalisée : comment les différents indicateurs ou agrégats sont calculés ? (i.e. quels opérateurs d'agrégation sont appliqués aux différentes mesures ? Et dans quel ordre ils sont appliqués ?). Dans ce contexte, quelques travaux essaient de mieux maîtriser la qualité des informations dans les entrepôts de données (spatiales) par exemple par le biais de contraintes d'intégrité. Dans cet article, motivé par le manque d'implémentations basées sur une approche MDA (Model Driven Architecture), nous proposons un «framework» conceptuel basé sur deux nouvelles classifications pour faciliter l'identification et l'implémentation des contraintes d'EDS ; dans le cadre de l'approche MDA, nous proposons la modélisation et l'implémentation de la plupart des types de contraintes en utilisant les standards UML(Unified Modeling Language) et OCL (Object Constraint Language), et le générateur de code Spatial OCL2SQL.

However, the quality of such analysis heavily depends on the quality of stored data and how these data are explored: how the different indicators are computed (What aggregate functions are applied to summa-rize the measures and in what order these functions are applied?). In this context, a number of studies have been attempted to address the issues of data quality in SDW by using Integ-rity Constraints (IC). In this paper, motivated by the lack of Model Driven Architecture (MDA)-based implementations, we propose a conceptual framework based on two new clas-sifications to ease identification and implementation of SDW IC. Moreover, following an MDA approach, we propose the MDA-based modeling of most IC categories using the UML (Unified Modeling Language) and OCL (Object Constraint Language) standard languages; and show the automatic implementation of some IC classes using an MDA-based code gen-erator, called Spatial OCL2SQL. / Les Entrepôts de Données Spatiales (EDS) et les systèmes SOLAP représentent une solution efficace pour l'analyse spatiale de phénomènes géographiques. Cependant, la qualité de cette analyse dépend fortement de la qualité des données entreposées et de la manière dont l'exploration de ces données est réalisée : comment les différents indicateurs ou agrégats sont calculés ? (i.e. quels opérateurs d'agrégation sont appliqués aux différentes mesures ? Et dans quel ordre ils sont appliqués ?). Dans ce contexte, quelques travaux essaient de mieux maîtriser la qualité des informations dans les entrepôts de données (spatiales) par exemple par le biais de contraintes d'intégrité.

Using OCL to model constraints in data warehouses
International Journal of Technology Diffusion 2 (3), 2011
abs doi web bib

Recent research works propose to use the Object-Oriented (OO) approach such as UML to model data warehouses. First, the present paper overviews these recent OO techniques. They aim to describe the facts and the different analysis dimensions of the data. Second, we will propose a tutorial of the Object Constraint Language (OCL) and we will show how this language can be used to specify constraints in OO-based models of data warehouse. Up to now, OCL has been only applied to describe constraints in software applications and transactional databases. So, we demonstrate in this paper how to use OCL to represent the different types of data warehouse constraints. Our paper is addressed to researchers working in the fields of business intelligence and decision support systems, who wish to learn about the major possibilities that OCL offer in the context of data warehouse, and to find citations that will allow them to learn about this formalism in greater detail. We also provide general information about the possible types of implementation of multi-dimensional models and their constraints.

Modelling spatial integrity constraints with OCL
Revue Internationale de Géomatique 21 (numéro spécial 2011), 2011
abs doi web bib

In this paper, we propose spatial extensions of the Object Constraint Language associated to UML. The goal of the proposed languages is to allow expressing a large range of integrity constraints in spatial databases. We highlight two extensions of OCL to express constraints involving spatial regions; the first one is based on the topological relations of the 9-Intersection model, and the second one is based on topological relations qualified by adverbs. We establish the equivalence between the expressive powers of these two extensions. Their difference is their level of usability. Our proposals have been integrated in a code generator OCL2SQL; this makes possible to produce automatically operational integrity mechanisms issued from OCL constraints. We also present a case study concerning the application of the proposed solution on an information system for agricultural spreading. / Dans cet article, nous proposons des extensions spatiales du langage OCL (Object Constraint Language) associé à UML. L'objectif de ces extensions est de permettre d'exprimer de façon déclarative un éventail large de contraintes d'intégrité dans les bases de données spatiales. Nous explicitons plus particulièrement deux extensions pour exprimer des contraintes impliquant des régions spatiales; la première est basée sur les relations topologiques du modèle des 9 intersections, et la seconde sur des relations topologiques qualifiées par des adverbes. Nous établissons alors l'équivalence de ces deux extensions en termes d'expressivité. Leur différence se situe au niveau de leur facilité d'utilisation. Nos propositions ont été intégrées dans un générateur de code OCL2SQL, qui permet de produire automatiquement, à partir de contraintes écrites en OCL, des mécanismes opérationnels de contrôle d'intégrité de bases de données spatiales. Nous présentons une étude de cas issue de l'expérimentation de la solution proposée sur un système d'information pour l'épandage agricole.

Ontologies for interoperability
Advanced Information and Knowledge Processing 1 (2011), 2011
abs doi web bib

The goal of this chapter is to help readers understand how ontologies can be used to improve interoperability between heterogeneous information systems. We understand interoperability as the ability of an information system or its components to share information and applications. In the literature there is not a common agreement on which types of interoperability can be found between heterogeneous systems, but mainly classifications of the different types of heterogeneity that can be found between systems and the levels or layers where this heterogeneity has to be solved or overcome. However, this is not the purpose of this chapter. We will focus on which types of system interoperability can be resolved by ontologies, and which types of ontologies have been normally used for this purpose. About ontology types, we refer to the first ontology classification presented in the previous chapter (ROUSSEY et al 2010**). Some of the illustrative examples will be taken from project presentations made in the context of the COST UCE Action C21 (Urban Ontologies for an improved communication in UCE projects TOWNTOLOGY) or, in general, in the area of Geographic Information Systems(GIS).

OCL for formal modelling of topological constraints involving regions with broad boundaries
Geoinformatica 14, 2010
abs doi web bib

Integrity constraints can control topological relations of objects in spatial databases. These constraints can be modelled using formal languages such as the spatial extension of the Object Constraint Language (Spatial OCL). This language allows the expression of topological integrity constraints involving crisp spatial objects but it does not support constraints involving spatial objects with vague shapes (e.g. forest stand, pollution zone, valley or lake). In this paper, we propose an extension of Spatial OCL based on (1) a geometric model for objects with vague shapes, and (2) an adverbial approach for modelling topological constraints involving regions with broad boundaries. This new language provides an easiness in the formal modelling of these complex constraints. Our approach has been implemented in a code generator. A case study is also presented in the paper in the field of agriculture spreading activities. AOCLOVS takes account of the shape vagueness of spread parcel and improve spatial reasoning about them.

To overcome these barriers, the FORUM project investigates three main research issues: (i) automatic discovery of semantic correspondences (ii) consistency maintenance of mappings, and (iii) tolerant rewriting of queries in the presence of approximate mappings.

When spatial analysis meets OLAP: multidimensional model and operators
International Journal of Data Warehousing and Mining 6 (4), 2010
abs web bib

Introducing spatial data into multidimensional models leads to the concept of Spatial OLAP (SOLAP). Existing SOLAP models do not completely integrate the semantic component of geographic information (alphanumeric attributes and relationships) or the flexibility of spatial analysis into multidimensional analysis. In this paper, the authors propose the GeoCube model and its associated operators to overcome these limitations. GeoCube enriches the SOLAP concepts of spatial measure and spatial dimension and take into account the semantic component of geographic information. The authors define geographic measures and dimensions as geographic and/or complex objects belonging to hierarchy schemas. GeoCube's algebra extends SOLAP operators with five new operators, i.e., Classify, Specialize, Permute, OLAP-Buffer and OLAP-Overlay. In addition to classical drill-and-slice OLAP operators, GeoCube provides two operators for navigating the hierarchy of the measures, and two spatial analysis operators that dynamically modify the structure of the geographic hypercube. Finally, to exploit the symmetrical representation of dimensions and measures, GeoCube provides an operator capable of permuting dimension and measure. In this paper, GeoCube is presented using environmental data on the pollution of the Venetian Lagoon.

Overlay-Drill across: a new drill across operator for spatial data warehouses

abs web bib

Spatial OLAP (SOLAP) integrates spatial data into OLAP and Data warehouse systems to exploit analysis capabilities associated to geographic information. SOLAP extends OLAP operators to navigate into spatial dimensions, and to cut the spatial data warehouse using spatial predicates. Integration of several heterogeneous spatial data warehouses is very useful for decision-makers since they can navigate into multiple data sources. In this paper, exploiting the continuous dimension of spatial data, we propose a new operator to merge spatial data warehouses without conformed spatial dimensions. This operator is based on the spatial analysis transformation called Overlay. We show its implementation in the Web-based SOLAP System GeWOlap.

A multidimensional model for data warehouses of simulation results
International Journal of Agricultural and Environmental Information Systems IJAEIS 1 (2), 2010
abs doi web bib

This paper deals with the multidimensional modeling of a data warehouse for simulation results. It aims at answering new needs for data management which appear when exploring complex simulation models. Indeed, testing different parameter values and different versions of such models produces a huge volume of data, especially when simulations cover long time periods. These data must often be studied extensively at different levels of aggregation. We propose a generic multidimensional schema to analyze the results of a simulation model. This schema can guide modelers in designing specific data warehouses. We also propose an adaptation of an OLAP client tool in order to provide an adequate visualization of data. As an example, we implement a data warehouse for the analysis of results produced from a savanna simulation model, using a Relational OLAP architecture.

Describing spatio-temporal phenomena for environmental system development: an overview of today's needs and solutions
International Journal of Agricultural and Environmental Information Systems IJAEIS 1 (2), 2010
abs doi web bib

This paper is composed of two parts dealing with the modeling of environmental phenomena. The first part presents the traditional ER and OO formalisms dedicated to geographic information modeling. These languages focus mainly on representing the spatial and temporal properties of this type of information. Many of these languages express these properties visually by using pictograms. After a quick historical presentation of the languages, the authors show the various types of spatiality and temporality usually encountered in these languages. Often qualified as primitive, some of these spatialities and temporalities are simple. Others, more complex, result from combinations of simple spatialities and simple temporalities. Still others are used in very specific situations encountered during the development of geographical information systems.

Modeling: A central activity for flexible information systems development in agriculture and environment
International Journal of Agricultural and Environmental Information Systems IJAEIS 1 (1), 2010
abs doi web bib

Enterprise information systems in agriculture and environment are becoming more complex and difficult to design and implement. This paper aims to show our vision on using model-based approaches to design complex and flexible agricultural and environmental information systems. At the center of this modeling approach is the Unified Modeling Language that facilitates expressing visually concepts of a problem domain and their relationships. UML has a core of notations that are generic and that can be used to model problems in any domain but can be extended to create profiles in order to take into consideration modeling concerns in a particular problem domain. UML profiles are created to use UML in designing spatial systems, ontologies, model driven architecture-based systems and Web-based systems and a recent profile makes it possible to us UML for business modeling purposes. UML is used to present design patterns; their use is crucial in designing complex and flexible information systems. Recently, UML is enriched with Object Constraint Language that is used to express constraints on modeling artifacts. The paper presents the state of the art in modelling agricultural and environmental systems and provides discussions for future directions.

Precise design of environmental data warehouses
Operational Research 10 (3), 2010
abs doi web bib

People use data warehouses to help them make decisions. For example, public policy decision-makers can improve their decisions by using this technology to analyze the environmental effects of human activity. In production systems, data warehouses provide structures for extracting the knowledge required to optimize systems. Designing data warehouses is a complex task; designers need flexible and precise methods to help them create data warehouses and adapt their analysis criteria to developments in the decision-making process. In this paper, we introduce a flexible method based on UML (Unified Modeling Language). We introduce a UML profile for building multi-dimensional models and for choosing different criteria according to analysis requirements. This profile makes it possible to specify integrity constraints in OCL (Object Constraint Language). We apply our method to the construction of an environmental system for analyzing the use of certain agricultural fertilizers. We integrate various data sources into a multi-dimensional model showing several categories of analysis, and the consistency of data can be checked with OCL constraints.

Qualified topological relations between spatial objects with possible vague shape
International Journal of Geographical Information Science 23 (7), 2009
abs doi web bib

Broad boundary is generally used to replace one-dimensional boundary for spatial objects with vague shape. For regions with broad boundary, this concept should respect both connectedness and closeness conditions. Therefore, some real configurations, like regions with partially broad boundary (e.g. lake with rocky and swamp banks), are considered invalid. This paper aims to represent different levels of shape vagueness and consider them during the identification of topological relations. Then, an object with vague shape is composed by two crisp components: a minimal extent and a maximal extent. Topological relations are identified by applying the 9-Intersection model for the subrelations between the minimal and maximal extents of objects involved. Four subrelations are then represented through a 4-Intersection matrix used to classify the topological relations. For regions with broad boundary, 242 relations are distinguished and classified into 40 clusters. This approach supports an adverbial expression of integrity constraints and spatial queries.

A unified object constraint model for designing and implementing multidimensional systems
Journal on Data Semantics XIII (5530), 2009
abs web bib

Models for representing multidimensional systems usually consider that facts and dimensions are two different things. In this paper we propose a model based on UML which unifies the representations of fact and dimension member. Since a given element can play the role of a fact or a dimension member, this model permits more flexibility in the design and the implementation of multidimensional systems. Moreover this model offers the possibility to express various constraints to guarantee desirable properties for data. We then show that this model is able to handle most of the hierarchies which have been suggested to take real situations into account and to characterize certain properties of summarizability. Using this model we propose a complete development cycle of a multidimensional system. It appears that this cycle can be partially automated and that an end user can control the design and the implementation of his system himself.

Modélisation de contraintes d'intégrité spatiales avec OCL

An adverbial approach for the formal specification of topological constraints involving regions with broad boundaries
Lecture Notes in Computer Science 5231, 2008
abs web bib

Topological integrity constraints control the topological properties of spatial objects and the validity of their topological relationships in spatial databases. These constraints can be specified by using formal languages such as the spatial extension of the Object Constraint Language (OCL). Spatial OCL allows the expression of topological constraints involving crisp spatial objects. However, topological constraints involving spatial objects with vague shapes (e.g., regions with broad boundaries) are not supported by this language. Shape vagueness requires using appropriate topological operators (e.g., strongly Disjoint, fairly Meet) to specify valid relations between these objects; otherwise, the constraints cannot be respected. This paper addresses the problem of the lack of terminology to express topological constraints involving regions with broad boundaries. We propose an extension of Spatial OCL based on a geometric model for objects with vague shapes and an adverbial approach for topological relations between regions with broad boundaries. This extension of Spatial OCL is then tested on an agricultural database.

A semantic language for querying anonymous web sources
Lecture Notes in Computer Science 5178, 2008
abs web bib

A great deal of work has been carried out in recent years to facilitate access to data and information available on the Web. Proposals converge in two additional areas which consist in providing the sources with semantic annotations and in designing languages and tools that are capable of using these annotations. However, a large number of sources have not yet been annotated suitably. Besides, languages and existing tools do not allow the user to formulate "blind" queries without knowing the sources. To overcome these two limitations, in this paper we propose a flexible query language which allows a user to query sources in an anonymous way without knowing their existence and their structure. Queries can be solved by a system which in advance discovers potential sources and memorizes their schemas. We clarify how such a system can function.

A general framework to implement topological relations on composite regions

Many GIS (Geographic Information Systems) handle composite geometries, i.e. geometries made of the union of simple shapes. Recent works show that relations between composite regions can be modelled with the well-known 9-Intersection Method (9IM). In this case, each relation is represented by a matrix. The proposed paper presents a general method to deduce the topological relations between the parts of regions from the matrix representation. Thus relations between composite regions could be easily implemented.

Using UML and OCL to maintain the consistency of spatial data in environmental information systems
Environmental Modelling & Software 22 (8), 2007
abs web bib

The Object Constraint Language (OCL) is a subset of the well-known Unified Modeling Language (UML) that allows specifying constraints over entities representing concepts from the application domain. The purpose of this paper is to describe a specific extension of OCL to model spatial constraints of Environmental Information Systems (EIS). These new features are applied to the agricultural spreading of organic matter. In this context, it is important to model a set of spatial constraints that define precisely where spreading can take place. For example, organic matters can never be spread inside certain natural areas. At present, some tools allow producing integrity checking mechanisms in different languages (Java, C#, SQL, etc) from specifications of non-spatial constraints expressed in OCL. For instance, the SQL code generated by OCL2SQL can be used to check if a database verifies constraints or to forbid inserting data that do not verify them. In order to check spatial constraints in EIS, we implemented the Spatial OCL proposed in this paper into an extension of OCL2SQL.

Precise modeling and verification of topological integrity constraints in spatial databases: from an expressive power study to code generation principles
Lecture Notes in Computer Science 3716, 2005
abs web bib

Recent works underline that the integration of topological relationships into the Object Constraint Language (OCL) is an important field of investigation. The final goal is to provide an expressive language adapted to precisely model alphanumerical and topological constraints. In order to reach this goal, the present paper focuses on the integration of the 9 Intersection Method (9IM) into OCL. We show that this OCL+9IM language is especially suitable for the specification of topological constraints implying composite spatial objects.

In numerous cases, the modelling of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) is a difficult task. This fact is partially due to the natural complexity of spatial types and invariants. Based on this observation, the present paper aims at specializing the Unified Modelling Language (UML) and its associated Object Constraint Language (OCL) in order to facilitate the design of GIS. A complete study of the proposed extensions will be presented as well as several in-depth experiments in the domain of agricultural information systems. / Dans de nombreux cas, la modélisation de SIG est une tâche difficile.

Mobilisation et gestion des informations liées aux pratiques agricoles : systèmes d`information à référence spatiale partagés et moyens de communication interopérables
Comptes-Rendus de l'Académie d'Agriculture de France 91 (3 ( séance du 18 mai 2005)), 2005
abs web bib

The traceability of agricultural production requires the acquisition and the exchange of data related to cultural operations and farm practices. Farms need to manage and exchange a large volume of information issued from several acquisition systems. Thus, as presented in this paper, it becomes essential to use the new information and communication technologies in order to facilitate the georeferenced data exchange in the concerned information systems, and to improve the formal specification of the computer-based applications to set up for this communication. This requires the development of communicating information systems suitable to the specificities of the agricultural activity and the rural world. Thanks to their contributions to the sustainable management, these systems and the associated conceptual methods completely depend on the Environmental Technologies i.e. the technologies which are rational from an ecological point of view. / La traçabilité de la production agricole requière l`acquisition et l`échange des données relatives aux interventions culturales et aux pratiques des exploitations agricoles. Les exploitations agricoles se trouvent donc dans l`obligation de gérer et d`échanger un grand nombre d`informations issues de systèmes d`acquisition multiples. Ainsi, comme traité dans cet article, il devient indispensable d`utiliser les toutes dernières technologies de l`information et de la communication afin de faciliter l`échange des données principalement géoréférencées au sein des systèmes d`information impliqués, tout en améliorant la spécification formelle des applications informatiques à mettre en place pour cette communication. Cela nécessite la conception et la mise en oeuvre de systèmes d`information communicants adaptés aux spécificités de l`activité agricole et plus largement du monde rural.

Les nouvelles technologies de l’informatique embarquées sur les machines ou installées en parcelles (voire dans les airs avec les drones) connectent directement les champs avec les agriculteurs. Un objectif central est l’acquisition régulière et automatisée de données pour le suivi et l’aide à la décision en agriculture. Liée à des systèmes d’aide à la décision, une acquisition massive d’informations permet de suivre au mieux les cultures et faire des choix en matière de raisonnement des intrants (pesticides, irrigation, etc.), en accord avec le précepte de «la bonne dose au bon moment et au bon endroit». La collecte historisée des données permet aussi une analyse énergétique détaillée par type d’activités. Les données de certains capteurs tels que celles des stations météo peuvent être diffusées sur le Web afin de partager l’information auprès de différents acteurs. Au-delà des données de capteurs, les sites Web collaboratifs facilitent l’échange de bonnes pratiques en agriculture. De nombreuses données sont également saisies pour alimenter des outils de contrôle des activités agricoles.

Use of Sensor Data Warehouse for Soil Moisture Analysis
Automated enterprise systems for maximizing business performance (p. 43-57), IGI Global, 2015
abs doi web bib

More and more data are collected via sensors. Wireless networks can be implemented to facilitate the collection of sensors data and to reduce the cost of their acquisition. In this chapter, we present a general architecture combining Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) and Spatial Data Warehouse (SDW) technologies. This innovative solution is used to collect automatically sensor’s information and to facilitate the analysis of these data. The WSN used in this application has been deployed by Irstea and tested during several years in vineyards in South of France. The novel contribution presented in this chapter is related to the use of a SDW to manage data produced by geo-referenced sensor nodes. SDW is one of the most appropriate modern technologies for analyzing large data sets at different temporal and spatial scales. This type of databases is a specific category of information system used to integrate, accumulate and analyze information from various sources. These data are usually organized according to a multidimensional schema to facilitate the calculation of indicators. In this chapter, we introduce the development of a SDW storing the data collected by this WSN. The implemented data warehouse can allow users to aggregate and explore interactively data pro-duced by sensors. With this system, it is possible to visualize on a map the results of these aggregations.

abs web bib

Suite à l’atelier « Systèmes d’Information pour l’Environnement » de la conférence INFORSID 2014, les contributions les plus emblématiques des innovations en matière de SIE ont été sélectionnées et complétées par leurs auteurs. Dans le domaine de l’environnement, les informations caractérisant l’état du système ou son évolution sont souvent de nature diverse et nécessitent des moyens humains et/ou techniques importants pour les collecter, les analyser, les restituer. La diversité de ces informations et le suivi temporel du système étudié sur de longues périodes demandent une approche méthodologique rigoureuse relevant de celles des sciences expérimentales. Les articles du présent ouvrage abordent les verrous essentiels, du point de vue Système d’Information, qui ont été débattus dans l’atelier. Ceux-ci portent sur l’intégration de données diverses hétérogènes, l’expression de la connaissance, l’accessibilité des données et traitements via des architectures distribuées prenant en compte l’interopérabilité syntaxique et sémantique, l’interaction et la collaboration de divers types d’usagers, l’analyse historisée et/ou multicritères à des fins de gestion ou de décision. Ils traitent, au-delà de ces verrous, d’une riche palette de thématiques : l’aide à la gestion des ressources halieutiques, l’aide à la construction de connaissances en agronomie, l’aide à la gestion de données paléoenvironnementales, la mutualisation et l’accès aux ressources satellitales, l’aide à l’évaluation du risque de désertification et à l’évaluation de la qualité des ressources en eau. Le premier article « SICP : Système d’Information Collaboratif pour l’environnement et la gestion durable des Pêches en Mauritanie » de E. Beibou, J. Guitton et J. Barde relate la construction d’un système d’information virtuel dédié à la gestion halieutique. Celui-ci est conçu autour de la notion d’intégration de ressources hétérogènes, de calculs à la volée d’indicateurs appropriés, de leurs restitutions via une interface graphique tout en abordant l’apport de la collaboration entre divers acteurs scientifiques et gestionnaires. Le deuxième article « Construction d’une ontologie par transformation de systèmes d’organisation des connaissances et évaluation de la confiance » de F. Amarger, J.-P. Chanet, O. Haemmerlé, N. Hernandez et C. Roussey présente une méthode originale de création d’une base de connaissances (ontologie) à partir de transformations de plusieurs sources de connaissances. Ces sources sont issues des systèmes d’organisation des connaissances en l’occurrence Agrovoc, TaxRef et NCBI. La méthode s’appuie sur un module défini à l’aide de patrons de conception ontologiques et les sources étant pondérées par un score de confiance. Le troisième article « PALEOPYR : un système d’information pour la gestion et l’exploitation de données paléoenvironnementales sur le massif nord-pyrénéen » de É. Lerigoleur, F. Mazier, L. Jégou, M. Perret et D. Galop présente la conception du système d’information PALEOPYR. Ce dernier a pour objectif la reconstruction des dynamiques spatio-temporelles de la végétation pyrénéenne à partir de la capitalisation des données paléoenvironnementales produites au cours de 30 ans de recherche dans cette région. Le quatrième article « Mutualiser des données spatiales et des traitements en environnement » de J.-C Desconnets et M. Kazmierski s'attache à montrer en quoi les infrastructures de données spatiales (IDS) constituent des solutions de référence pour permettre aux utilisateurs de traiter des problèmes environnementaux de manière pluridisciplinaire à partir de données et de traitement divers et répartis. Au travers d’une vision abstraite, les auteurs décrivent les principaux éléments d’une IDS. L’approche préconisée est illustrée via la mise en ½uvre de l'IDS du projet Equipex GEOSUD. Le cinquième article « SIEL : système intégré pour la modélisation et l’évaluation du risque de désertification » de M. Loireau, M. Sghaier, B. Guerrero, F. Chouikhi, M. Fétoui, D. G. Leibovici, S. Debard, J.-C. Desconnets et N. Ben Khatra présente une réflexion menée sur la caractérisation et la spatialisation des pratiques et des ressources naturelles en interaction sur un espace donné dans une région sahélienne, dans le cadre de recherches relatives à la lutte contre la désertification. Il décrit une chaîne de traitements thématiques pour modéliser des unités de paysages ruraux et les causes et intensité du risque de désertification afférents, ainsi que la plateforme logicielle géomatique qui la met en ½uvre. Le dernier article « Un système décisionnel pour l’analyse de la qualité des eaux de rivières » de S. Bimonte, K. Boulil, A. Braud, S. Bringay, F. Cernesson, X. Dolques, M. Fabrègue, C. Grac, N. Lalande, F. Le Ber et M. Teisseire décrit un système décisionnel développé pour permettre l’analyse des données concernant le fonctionnement des hydro-écosystèmes. Ces données sont nombreuses, diverses et issues de sources variées. Les auteurs détaillent les éléments de ce système qui comportent une base de données, un entrepôt permettant l’exploration des dimensions associées aux données et des outils de fouille de données permettant de répondre aux questions des hydro-écologues.

Special issue on Information and Decision Support Systems for Agriculture and Environment
Ecological Informatics , Elsevier, 2015

Tasks such as monitoring and managing the ecological status of rivers, sharing environmental information, and helping farmers in their decision making are challenges for which information and decision support systems (DSS) represent effective solutions. New theoretical and technical challenges emerge from the integration of several scientific domains such as agronomy, ecology, mathematics, information technology and computer science. The objective of this special issue is to show how the latest advances in research in information and decision support systems can be applied to environmental and/or agricultural systems. This special issue has been organized in conjunction with the international workshop on Agricultural and Environmental Information and Decision Support Systems (AEIDSS 2013) held by the International Conference on “Computational Science and its Applications” (ICCSA 2013), June 24–27, 2013 (Ho Chi Minh City-Vietnam). The authors of the papers presented at this workshop have been invited to submit an extended version of their manuscript to this special issue, but the special issue call for papers was also open to external contributions. Twenty papers have been submitted to this special issue, and ten have been accepted for publication after revisions; each submission has been evaluated by three reviewers. The papers in this special issue address various current topics in informatics, such as data interoperability, linked open data, management of very large datasets, analysis of spatial and temporal information, and advanced formal methods for developing DSS. Here, we describe the main contributions found in the articles. The paper “Semantic Annotation of the CEREALAB database by the AGROVOC Linked Dataset” addresses linked open data. As indicated by the authors, the number of open data government initiatives is increasing worldwide, and new research is needed to help resource providers to publish and link their datasets. The authors have developed an experimental methodology to publish, link and enrich open data by performing automatic semantic annotation of schema elements. This approach is applied to the CEREALAB database, a public relational database designed for storing genotypic and phenotypic data on plant breeding. The authors of the paper entitled “A Knowledge Discovery Process for Spatiotemporal Data: Application to River Water Quality Monitoring” combine different methods to extract knowledge from water-quality data collected along rivers. The results can then be used to determine spatial indicators to assist experts in their interpretation of land use impacts on water quality. The paper “User Centered Ontology for Sri Lankan Farmers” proposes an ontological approach to provide context-specific information and knowledge to farmers based on their own context. As stated by the authors, a knowledge repository of agricultural information is proposed to respond to user queries, considering the context in which information is needed by farmers at different stages of the farming life cycle. The approach has been tested among farmers in Sri Lanka. The article “Evaluation of Urban Sprawl from space using open source technologies” presents a case study of analyzing urban sprawl using satellite data. The authors mention that these data are related to a coastal zone with the presence of sand and rocks, characterized by a fragmented ecosystem and small towns with an increasing rate of urbanization and soil consumption. Support vector machine algorithms are applied for satellite image classification, and open-source software is used. The paper “An Infrastructure-oriented Approach for supporting Biodiversity Research” presents D4Science, a data infrastructure that facilitates accessing and reusing biodiversity data. According to the authors, D4Science is an integrated and flexible environment based on existing databases and information systems. The authors highlight that the infrastructure facilitates the discovery, selection, access and processing of data. The paper “Model-Driven Engineering Applied to Crop Modelling” presents a framework to formalize mechanistic models of plant growth. This approach is based on a new domain-specific language dedicated to crop modeling and is used to facilitate the development of software applications for decision support systems. This framework allows modelers to generate software code automatically. The contribution entitled “Decision Support for Agri-Food Chains: A Reverse Engineering Argumentation-Based Approach” defines an objectives-driven decision support system defined for the end products of an agri-food chain. A reverse engineering technique and a logic-based formalization is proposed in the paper. The article “Increasing dependence on foreign water resources? An assessment of trends in global virtual water flows using a self-organizing time map” highlights that self-organizing time maps can be used to model, visualize and analyze virtual water fluxes. The virtual water is analyzed through the food trade in different countries. The final two papers show how data warehouse technology can be adapted, used and applied for environmental and ecological applications. The first of these papers proposes a method for the enrichment of phenotypic and genotypic data warehouse analysis, using question-answering systems. The main goal is to facilitate the decision making process in cereal breeding programs. The authors of the last paper propose to use hierarchical agglomerative clustering with the Gower similarity index to generate analysis dimensions in a data warehouse. The data set used is related to birds along the Loire River in France. As shown in these short des]criptions of the papers, this special issue presents new research advances in techniques related to information and DSS technologies, such as ontology-based systems, data warehouses, data mining and model-driven engineering. The application examples provided by the authors clearly show the role of these new technologies in the fields of agriculture, environment and ecology and their potential for the next few years

Storage of simulation result data: A database perspective
Automated enterprise systems for maximizing business performance ; (p. 58-70), IGI Global, 2015
abs web bib

DBMS is a traditional technology for the storage of business application data. In this chapter, we show that this technology can be of interest in scientific fields. We present a survey of the emergence of the concept of simulation result database. Scientific simulation models become more complex, use more data and produce more outputs. Stochastic models can also be simulated. In this case, numerous simulations are run in order to discover a general trend in results. The replications of simulation increase again the amount of produced data, which makes exploration and analysis difficult. It is also often useful to compare the results obtained in using different model versions, scenarios or assumptions (for example different weather forecasts). In this chapter, we provide several examples of projects of simulation result databases. We show that the database technology can help to manage the large volumes of simulation outputs. We also illustrate this type of projects on environmental databases storing pesticide transfer simulation results. We conclude in highlighting some trends and future works.

Special issue on agro-environmental decision support systems
Ecological Informatics vol.30 (p. 327-396), Elsevier, 2015
abs web bib

More and more agricultural and environmental data are now available. These data are produced by numerous methods: Terrestrial sensors, remote sensing systems, simulation models, Internet of things, etc. Agricultural and environmental Information Systems (IS) and Decision Support Systems (DSS) are two complementary approaches to use these data – their joint use allows managing information and making decisions based on their analysis in numerous applications for agriculture and environment. In the second edition of this special issue, we publish the latest advances in the field of informatics applied to agriculture and environment, focusing on the information and decision system technologies. The published papers range from the formal systems modelling to their development and experiments for decision-making. Several of these contributions show the combination of theoretical and practical methods issued from multidisciplinary research works. Different applications are presented in the fields of land use and pasture modelling, analyse of climate change impacts on agriculture, GM maize crop management, biotechnology and agriculture, fishery management. The communication and the interaction with users are two key points for the IS and DSS usability. The paper “An authoring tool for decision support systems in context questions of ecological knowledge” presents a new system to query more easily information and decision systems for biotechnology and agriculture. This method is based on a natural language interface in which the interactions between the user and the DSS reference the previous questions and answers. The system provides the capability to elide certain parts of the questions. The proposal is based on ontologies created semi-automatically by information integration. The architecture has been tested with information coming from the CEREALAB database and the Web (e.g., PubMed). The paper “Inference reasoning on fishers' knowledge using Bayesian causal maps” deals with a theoretical formalism for knowledge representation. The authors show how to use a new formalism called Bayesian causal map to model shellfish dredger activities and derive a decision systems allowing scenarios testing for fisheries management. Bayesian causal maps combine the advantages of cognitive maps and Bayesian networks. The resulting method is easy to use for expressing knowledge and for eliciting uncertain information. In the paper “Bayesian calibration of the Pasture Simulation model (PaSim) to simulate European grasslands under water stress”, the authors present a framework to interpret the model performance obtained with Bayesian calibration, in taking into account the case of a complex model for grassland. This model called PaSim is defined under certain climate conditions (precipitation reduction). The authors show an application for grasslands in Europe. In many places, urban zones tend to replace rural areas and it is important to be able to estimate the evolution of this tendency. In the paper “Supporting planning activities with the assessment and the prediction of urban sprawl using spatio-temporal analysis”, the authors analyse the spatio-temporal evolution of land and soil data. The authors introduce a model to measure variations occurred in land use, determine soil consumption and assess future trends. This model is applied to an Italian region. The managing of the coexistence between GM and non-GM maize crops is an important issue for numerous stakeholders. In the paper “Design of a decision support tool for managing coexistence between genetically modified and conventional maize at farm and regional levels”, the authors develop a model that can be used to inform the decision-maker on adventitious presence of GM grains in non-GM agricultural areas. Information are also provided about the uncertainty of the assessment and about the variability of adventitious presence. The implemented Web-based decision-support tool can compute the expected adventitious presence and its probability distribution in non-GM maize fields, according to distance and date. In “An open platform to assess vulnerabilities to climate change: An application to agricultural systems”, the authors introduce a new software platform for quantitative assessments support of vulnerability to climate change in agriculture. This software tool allows processing model-based inference related to agro-ecological system vulnerability to a variety of climate scenarios. A case study is introduced in the Massif Central region in France. The platform is used to characterize climate, soils and human management and to assess the vulnerability to climate change of grassland productivity at a fine geographical scale. In conclusion, this special issue describes some applications of information/decision systems and shows how these types of systems can help to manage the future challenges in the environmental and agricultural field. The world will have to face many challenges such as agricultural adaptation to climate change, land use evolution, coexistence of various agricultural systems, environmental constraints, etc. and information/decision systems will offer technical means to address these challenges.

CMF: A Crop Model Factory to improve scientific models development process
Progressions and Innovations in Model-Driven Software Engineering (p. 181-195), IGI Global, Pennsylvania, USA, 2013
abs web bib

This chapter shows how Model Driven Engineering (MDE) can contribute to the production of Crop models. The ITK firm works in agronomy, it designs digital models and Decision Support Systems for croppers. Common model development at ITK relies on a dual implementation. The first one being in Matlab® is usually proposed by agronomists but for industrial purposes software engineers translate this model in Java. This leads to double implementation, maintenance and heavy production costs. To deal with this efficiency problem, we have used a MDE approach to produce a Crop Model Factory (CMF). For this factory we propose a DSML (Domain Specific Modeling Language) formalized by a metamodel. In this chapter we present this DSML, the concrete syntax retained for the factory and its implementation in a tool enabling automatic code generation. The resulting Crop Model Factory (CMF) prototype is the fruit of an interdisciplinary collaboration and we also present feedback on this working experience.

Notre société prend progressivement conscience qu'elle est confrontée à nombre de challenges environnementaux : minimiser les impacts négatifs de l'action de l'homme sur son environnement, préserver les écosystèmes, savoir contrôler la qualité de l'eau, prévoir et gérer les risques etc. L'ordinateur est devenu un outil puissant et incontournable pour aider à répondre à ces défis. Généralement, afin d'apporter des solutions, il est au préalable nécessaire de mieux comprendre l'environnement, ses interactions, évaluer l'impact précis de l'activité humaine sur son fonctionnement. Dans ce but, les technologies des SI permettent d'acquérir ou de simuler d'important volume de données, de les contrôler, de les capitaliser, de les analyser, de les partager, etc. L'objectif de ce numéro spécial est de présenter différents travaux récents dans le domaine de recherche des Systèmes d'Information pour l'Environnement (SIE). L'appel à communication de ce numéro a été lancé à la suite de la série d'ateliers « SIDE - Système d'Information et de Décision pour l'Environnement » associés au congrès Inforsid (http://inforsid.irit.fr/). Voici les articles qui ont été sélectionnés pour le numéro. Le premier présente un SIE pour le suivi et l'évaluation de la qualité des cours d'eau. L'objectif du système est d'organiser, partager et analyser des données sur les espèces présentes ainsi que sur des prélèvements physiques, chimiques et biologiques. Le second article concerne la mise en ½uvre d'architectures parallèles pour le traitement de gros volumes de données liées aux risques environnementaux. Les auteurs proposent un outil générique pour faciliter l'exécution de simulations en parallèle. Le troisième article présente différents exemples d'ontologies utilisées en agriculture. Il est souligné que le secteur agricole est en pleine mutation. Il doit en effet de plus en plus prendre en compte la dimension liée aux impacts environnementaux des pratiques. Dans ce contexte, les SIE se doivent d'échanger de manière massive des informations concernant la traçabilité, les acteurs doivent recueillir de plus en plus d'information pour améliorer leurs pratiques, etc. D'où la nécessité d'employer les ontologies. Le papier suivant introduit un SIE d'aide à la décision pour la gestion et la sauvegarde des écosystèmes. Cet outil se base sur les systèmes à événements discrets et exploite l'efficacité des techniques de model-checking pour répondre aux requêtes des utilisateurs, non par simulation, mais par la vérification de propriétés sur l'écosystème. Le dernier article propose une méthode pour la prédiction des crues fondée sur la découverte d'informations non connues a priori. Elle est basée sur la mise en ½uvre de variables agrégées et d'un algorithme génétique.

Towards a spatial decision support system for animal traceability
Computational methods applied to agricultural research: advances and applications (p. 389-411), IGI Global, 2011
abs doi web bib

Animal traceability is of great importance for many government and private organizations, in particular for economic and sanitary control purposes. Traditional tracking systems can memorize the main movements of cattle, and geolocate individual animals using RFID. We can now consider a new generation of traceability systems in which successive locations are automatically recorded several times per day for each animal. Such systems can be coupled with analysis techniques to help decision-making, and to validate or redirect hypotheses. Here we describe a spatial decision support system for animal geolocation acquisition and analysis of sanitary issues. In sanitary alerts, the system can use recorded animal movements to identify animals that have been in contact with a diseased animal. The system is applied to tracking beef cattle in the Brazilian production system as a case study. This work is part of the OTAG project for improving methods and geotechnology to record reliable and accurate data on beef production.

Constraints modeling in agricultural databases
Advances in modelling agricultural systems (p. 55-66), Springer, 2009
abs web bib

The size of agricultural databases continues to increase, and sources of information are growing more and more diversified. This is especially the case for databases dedicated to the traceability of agricultural practices. Some data are directly collected from the field using embedded devices; other data are entered by means of different computer-based applications. Once stored in the same database, all this information must be consistent in order to guarantee the quality of the data. This consistency issue is becoming a new challenge for agricultural databases, especially when complex data are stored (for instance georeferenced information). In order to achieve consistency in a database, a precise, formal specification of the integrity constraints is needed. Indeed, database designers and administrators need a language that facilitates the conceptual modeling of this type of constraint. In this chapter, we introduce the Object Constraint Language (OCL), using the example of an agricultural database for organic waste management. The example of a tool supporting OCL (the Dresden OCL Toolkit) and an overview of a spatial extension of the language will be also presented.

The Use of UML as a Tool for the Formalisation of Standards and the Design of Ontologies in Agriculture
Advances in modelling agricultural systems (p. 131-147), Springer, 2009
abs web bib

For the past 20 years, ontologies have become more and more popular in various research fields such as web technologies, databases, information retrieval methods, etc. The first goal of this paper is to answer general questions about ontologies, such as: What exactly is an ontology? What is the purpose of on-tology? Which types of systems use an ontology? The second goal of the paper is to help readers understand how UML can be used to model ontologies in agricul-tural systems. UML and the Web Ontology Language (OWL) are compared, and an example inspired from the French project named Farm Information Manage-ment is presented.

Extraction et gestion de connaissances dans un contexte spatio-temporel : applications à la géomatique pour la gestion des territoires
Revue des Nouvelles Technologies de l'Information, Cépaduès éditions, Toulouse, 2008
abs web bib

Ce numéro spécial est orienté sur l'extraction et la gestion de connaissances dans le domaine de la géomatique et de la gestion des territoires où la vision spatio-temporelle est primordiale. Il est basé sur les travaux de la communauté SAGEO qui oeuvre dans le domaine depuis plusieurs années. SAGEO a pour objectif de fournir un lieu d'information et d'échange sur les recherches et les développements dans les domaines de la Géomatique et de l'Analyse Spatiale. SAGEO constitue un trait d'union entre le Groupe de Recherche SIGMA, le Groupe de Recherche Européen S4 (Simulation spatiale en Sciences Sociales) et le réseau GEOIDE canadien. Les articles sont des extensions de communications présentées lors de la conférence SAGEO 2007. Ce numéro donne un bon aperçu sur la variété des démarches et des techniques informatiques qui sont utilisées dans le domaine. Il illustre bien les enjeux sous-jacents et la complexité des problèmes à résoudre. Un thème qui est très actif et très présent dans ce numéro est celui de la visualisation. La visualisation est en effet un moyen incontournable tant pour communiquer les résultats d'extraction de connaissances spatio-temporelles, que pour positionner ces résultats les uns par rapport aux autres conférant ainsi une étape supplémentaire dans l'analyse, mais aussi pour permettre à l'usager d'engager interactivement de nouvelles analyses.

Gestion préventive des risques naturels : Evaluation de l’efficacité de l’information
Assises nationales des risques naturels, 22/03/2016-23/03/2016, Marseille, FRA (p. 1), 2016
abs web bib

La gestion préventive des risques naturels repose à la fois sur des mesures structurelles (ouvrages de protection) et non-structurelles telles que, notamment la réglementation de l’occupation du sol via les PPR (Plans de Prévention des Risques) et l’information préventive via des documents tels que les DICRIM (Documents d’Information Communal sur les Risques majeurs). L’analyse du risque est technique alors que l’évaluation du risque se réfère à l’acceptation de seuils de risque par les décideurs, la population. L’analyse du risque combine des informations et expertises issues de sources plus ou moins fiables (données historiques, analyses expertes, simulations…) pour produire, par exemple, des cartes de zonage des PPR où les imperfections sur les données d’entrée conditionnent évidemment les résultats. Entre production, transfert et capitalisation de l’information, comment peut-on évaluer la qualité de l’information et tracer sa propagation dans les processus d’expertise et de décision ? L’existence de documents de prévention et d’information, réglementaires ou pas, ne suffit pas toujours à réduire le risque : des catastrophes récentes ont montré que les comportements réels des personnes prennent insuffisamment en compte les informations existantes. Comprendre les flux d’information, les modes de transmission et d’appropriation de cette information en s’intéressant aux différents (publics, techniciens, élus, gestionnaires et citoyens) est essentiel : comment peut-on analyser et améliorer l’efficacité de l’information produite ? Dans le contexte de risques naturels (crues torrentielles), les travaux visent à 1) qualifier, améliorer la traçabilité des informations de la source aux décisions de gestion et 2) à proposer une méthodologie d’évaluation, amélioration de l’efficacité de l’information. Deux démarches pluridisciplinaires complémentaires associent des approches issues des sciences de l’ingénierie, de l’informatique mais aussi des sciences humaines et sociales sur la base de cas réels choisis dans les régions PACA et Rhône-Alpes : •Le premier développement concerne la capitalisation de l’information. En se basant sur les méthodes issues de l’ingénierie logicielle, il propose, via le langage UML (Unified Modelling Language), des modélisations conceptuelles des processus d’informations utilisées dans l’expertise des risques naturels en intégrant l’imperfection des données. •La seconde approche analyse les flux d’information complexe (traitement de l’information, cognition, communication…) et propose une méthodologie d’évaluation de l’efficacité associant des approches indirectes basée à la fois sur les sciences cognitives et les méthodes de la sûreté de fonctionnement appliquée aux flux d’information.

Experiments on the use of knowledge management tools for agriculture
12th European IFSA Symposium, 12/07/2016-15/07/2016, Newport, GBR (p. 8), 2016
abs web bib

Agriculture must be both sustainable and economically viable. Sustainable agriculture requires new knowledge and expertise. However, knowledge management is not sufficient in current sustainable agriculture. To overcome this, we have made the assumption that the knowledge management practices used in industry can be transferred in agriculture. In this paper, we propose to apply to agriculture, the methodological tools developed by the French knowledge management group. These tools are based on theoretical approaches for the transformation of explicit and tacit knowledge within an organization. These tools are generic and suitable for any knowledge. We have tested the tool CFK for knowledge criticality in order to identify the knowledge to make explicit within a farm. This knowledge is critical because they are valuable, rare, complex and difficult to formalize. They must therefore be managed. We have determined the criticality of knowledge in a farm for organic agriculture field crops, in prairies and on various flora grain legumes. In the French research project TATABOX related to the agro-ecological transition study in a land between Tarn and Aveyron in France, we also have experimented another methodological tool (TRACO) for characterizing the most appropriate knowledge transfer tools to use between an agricultural cooperative and farmers. Among 16 knowledge transfer methods proposed, TRACO allow highlighting supervised self-education but also traditional teaching courses, communities of practices and workshops. Our conclusion is that the proposed knowledge management tools seem relevant to manage knowledge in agriculture, but they still require training and adaptation to agricultural fields.

In this paper, we propose to apply to agriculture, the methodological tools developed by the French knowledge management group. These tools are based on theoretical approaches for the transformation of explicit and tacit knowledge within an organization. These tools are generic and suitable for any knowledge. We have tested the tool CFK for knowledge criticality in order to identify the knowledge to make explicit within a farm. This knowledge is critical because they are valuable, rare, complex and difficult to formalize. They must therefore be managed. We have determined the criticality of knowledge in a farm for organic agriculture field crops, in prairies and on various flora grain legumes. In the French research project TATABOX related to the agro-ecological transition study in a land between Tarn and Aveyron in France, we also have experimented another methodological tool (TRACO) for characterizing the most appropriate knowledge transfer tools to use between an agricultural cooperative and farmers. Among 16 knowledge transfer methods proposed, TRACO allow highlighting supervised self-education but also traditional teaching courses, communities of practices and workshops. Our conclusion is that the proposed knowledge management tools seem relevant to manage knowledge in agriculture, but they still require training and adaptation to agricultural fields.}, }

Henceforth, new generations of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), as part of the Internet Of Things (IoT), have to be able to adapt their behaviour to collect, from the study phenomenon (or feature of interest), quality data for long period of time. In this article, we propose a new formalisation for the design and the implementation of context-aware systems. To illustrate this whole proposition, an environmental use case, the study of flood events in a watershed, relying on a WSN for the data collection, is presented.

Spatial Data Warehouse and SOLAP systems allow analyzing huge volume of georeferenced data. SOLAP applications are usually complex needing advanced static and dynamic modelling properties. In particular, SOLAP applications require: multi-granular measures and complex aggregations based on aggregate functions depending on dimensions, hierarchies and levels. In this demo paper, motivated by the lack of conceptual spatio-multidimensional models based on standard languages and supporting such complex modelling requirements, we present a new UML profile for complex spatial data cubes. We implement our profile in the commercial CASE tool called MagicDraw. Using a real environmental case study, we show the theoretical and technical effectiveness of our proposal.

Spatial OLAP systems allow multidimensional analysis of huge volume of spatial data. Spatial vagueness is one of the most transparent and current imperfections of spatial data. Although several works propose new ad-hoc models for handling spatial vagueness in Spatial DBMS, the implementation of those models in conventional systems and Spatial Data Warehouses (SDW) is still in an embryonic state. Thus, to help reduce that uncertainty and its consequences in SOLAP analysis, we present a new approach for designing spatial data cubes based on users tolerance to the risk of misusing datacubes.

There is a wide range of new applications that stress the need for business process models that are able to handle imprecise data. This paper studies the underlying modelling and analysis issues. It uses as formal model to describe process behaviours a labelled transitions system in which transitions are guarded by conditions deﬁned over a probabilistic database and presents an approach for testing probabilistic simulation preorder in this context. A complexity analysis reveals that the problem is in 2-exptime, and is exptime-hard, w.r.t. expression complexity while it matches probabilistic query evaluation w.r.t. data-complexity.

This study concludes that, from the soil compaction point of view, using tracks does not confer an advantage, because of irregular contact pressure induced by the roller presence and the overall higher load of the track system. Conversely, tyres distribute uniformly the load on all the contact area and induce overall less stress on the soil.

Integrating continuous spatial data into SOLAP systems is a new research challenge. Moreover, representation of field data at different scales or resolutions is often mandatory for an effective analysis. Thus, in this paper, we propose a logical model to integrate spatial dimensions representing incomplete field data at different resolutions in a classical SOLAP architecture.

This paper presents the progress made in the prototyping of a Crop Model Factory. This method is intended to be used by agronomists to design scientific models and to produce the corresponding Java code to be used in a web-based decision support system. A subpart of a legacy vine model is used throughout the paper to illustrate the advances of the prototyping phase. Note that the version of the prototype presented in our previous papers was very basic. The new software version described here includes numerous fully functional components (e.g., new graphical user interface, model serialization) and provides Java code generation.

Spatial Data warehouses and Spatial OLAP systems are Business Intelligence technologies allowing efficient and interactive analysis of large geo-referenced datasets. In such a kind of systems the goodness of analysis depends on: The warehoused data quality, how aggregations are performed, and how warehoused data are explored. In this paper, we propose a framework based on a UML profile and OCL-defined integrity constraints to grant quality in the whole SOLAP system. We also propose an automatic implementation in a classical ROLAP architecture to validate our proposal.

Les entrepôts de données spatiales et les systèmes Spatial OLAP sont des technologies d’aide à la décision permettant l’analyse en ligne des gros jeux de données géo-référencées. Dans un tel type de systèmes, la qualité de l’analyse dépend : de la qualité des données entreposées, de comment les agrégations sont effectuées, et de comment les données entreposées sont explorées. Dans cet article, nous proposons une méthode pour garantir la qualité de ces trois facteurs, fondée sur un profil UML et sur des contraintes d’intégrité définies avec Spatial OCL.

MDE in action: First steps towards a crop model factory

In an industrial context of web-based decision support system for croppers, agronomists in our firm design crop models using a scientific programming language. Then in a second step this model is transposed in Java by computer engineers. Due to keeping both codes in evolution, this double implementation causes losses in cost production. To avoid such costs, this paper proposes to apply model driven engineering techniques to identify a metamodel for the domain of mechanistic modelling in agronomy. We started by a reverse engineering of three existing model implementations. The resulting metamodel is the basis for the definition of a mechanistic model factory dedicated to agronomists. This visual tool will offer automatic model linking and data conversion features: they rely on the definition of metadata associated with the inputs/outputs of the different models and on the use of adapters. These automation possibilities should grant easy design capabilities and optimal model reuse in the future. The designed models are linked to the metamodel proposed thus permitting the generation of a ready-to-use Java implementation of the mechanistic model.

EIS pesticide: an information system for data and knowledge capitalization and analysis
Euraqua-PEER Scientific Conference, 26/10/2011-28/10/2011, Montpellier, FRA (p. 1), 2011
abs web bib

The European Parliament recently approved a new EU pesticides legislation. Member States must adopt National Action Plans for reducing the "risks and impacts" of pesticide use and take measures to protect the water resources. The French program Ecophyto 2018 targets a 50% reduction in pesticides use. The funding available for these mitigation measures have to be used in the most cost-effective way. As the characteristics of agricultural production differ across a catchment, policy instruments can lead to various results in terms of environmental effectiveness and implementation costs. Therefore defining policy priorities requires appropriate tools with results about ecological and social features of agricultural practices. The evaluation ex-ante of scenarios using agro-environmental indicators (AEI) and/or agro-hydrological models needs to implement an effective information system, able to take into account the characteristics of the ecosystem and of agricultural activities at embedded spatial scales. The trans-time-plot scale, a homogeneous part of watershed for agricultural practices through the time, is used for the calculation of indicators for small agricultural catchments. At a larger watershed scale, other spatially designed entities are used regarding typologies of farming systems and natural conditions, or areas of mitigation measures. The produced data model allows describing in the same database the agricultural practices at these embedded scales as well as a range of data relating to river basin characteristics. The agricultural practices (crop rotation, crop management, irrigation, fertilization, pesticides use) are described at the farm level for homogeneous plots or from a typology of farming systems built using surveys and institutional data. A dictionary gives detailed information about all the concepts used. The EIS system generated automatically from the business models offers tools for analysis. It has been tested with a data set collected on the Charente watershed and its sub-basins. Several axes of analyses have been defined (time, amount of pesticides sprayed, spatial aggregation). The tools implemented allow new possibilities for the analysis of data and the calculation of spatial indicators (AEI). The EIS system allows calculating a simple indicator of pesticide pressure. It is expected to implement the calculation of an institutional indicator at two embedded spatial scales.

Towards the definition of spatial data warehouses integrity constraints with spatial OCL

Spatial Data Warehouse (SDW) and Spatial OLAP systems (SOLAP) are now an effective solution to perform multidimensional spatial analysis on geographical data. However, the quality of such analysis heavily depends on the quality of stored data. Due to this, some works have been attempted to address the issues of data quality of SDW using Integrity Constraints (IC). In this paper, we propose a conceptual framework for SDW IC based on two new classifications. Moreover, we describe the specification and implementation of some IC classes using the Object Constraint Language (OCL) and an automatic code generator, called Spatial OCL2SQL.

We show that UML can help system designers to build a data warehouse model. This type of model aims to describe the different analysis dimensions of the data. Second, we will also present different UML-based tools used during a project of agricultural data warehouse. The paper will introduce this data warehouse developed in France.

In using integrity constraints, one can specify the relations allowed between spatial objects of databases. In this context, the control of the consistency of a set of spatial relations is an interesting issue. This control aims at checking if all the spatial relations specified in integrity constraints by users are compatible. In this paper, we propose a new method based on Description Logics (DL) to identify inconsistencies in RCC8 relations. We propose to use traditional DIG reasoners to reach this goal. The DL specifications proposed in this paper can be extended in order to allow checking consistency between different types of spatial objects (composite regions, complex regions, etc.). / Les contraintes d'intégrité spatiales permettent de spécifier les relations autorisées entre des objets spatiaux des bases de données. Dans ce contexte, il est nécessaire de vérifier la cohérence d'un jeu de relations spatiales. Ce contrôle permet de détecter si des relations spatiales spécifiés dans les contraintes d'intégrité par des utilisateurs sont incompatibles. Cet article propose une nouvelle méthode de détection d'incohérences spatiales basée sur des traductions en Logiques de Description (LD) des relations RCC8 entre objets spatiaux. Nous proposons d'utiliser un moteur d'inférence LD traditionnel pour vérifier la cohérence d'un ensemble de relations RCC8.

Brazil is the one of the major producer and exporter in the world of bovine meat in an extremely competitive market. The requirements on the control of the origin and production of animals increase each time more and new solutions and alternatives must be explored to keep the production of meat and the market of exportation. In this aspect the animal traceability becomes important as half to assist in the guarantee of the register of the life of an animal, since its birth until its abates and exportation, including the permanence in farms and contacts with other animals. The OTAG Project (Operational Management and Geo-decisional Prototype you the Agricultural Track and Trace Production) foresees the use of electronic devices with GPS in animals, by means of electronic necklaces. From the data of animal movement, associates to other databases a series of information for diverse levels of users can be gotten. This work presents the use of trajectories for the identification of contacts between animals, from the georeferenced data of animal movement. The database of contacts between animals makes possible the identification of possible animals that had contaminated or can be contaminated from one determined occurrence of the foot-and-mouth disease, one of the illnesses that can reach the animals and harm the production of bovine meat.

Beef cattle is a product of great importance for the economy of countries like Brazil, one of the major producer and exporter in the world. However, to maintain itself on this important economic position, Brazil needs constantly to improve its production systems as well to invest in aspects related to sanitary control, according to the requirements of the consuming market like the European Community. The goal of OTAG (Operational Management and Geodecisional Prototype to Track and Trace Agricultural Production) project is to provide conditions to know the relative risks concerning to the bovine traceability, in the context of Southern Cone Countries and the EU policies. The project is based on the existing knowledge in Europe and Canada concerning to information systems and geodecisional tools, as well to the interaction among experts and user groups from South Cone, Canada and Europe. The goal of this project was to prove the feasibility of an Information system tracing a bovine all along its live. For what, an electronic devices has been conceived for acquiring the animal geolocation in the herd. This information is associated to data about farm management, such as feeding and production systems in use. This paper presents the characteristics, tools and phases related to the development of the information system prototype for the OTAG project, which has capacity to provide support for animal geolocation data, production system data, and data analysis using business intelligence technologies.

A new information system for tracing geolocations of bovine cattle

abs web bib

The present paper describes the main idea of a new information system architecture dedicated to the animal geolocation acquisitions. It is applied to traceability of beefs in Brazil. In case of sanitary alerts, the system should be able to determine the animals which have been in contact with a diseased animal. This proposal is issued from studies undertaken in the project OTAG supported by the European Union. OTAG focuses on improving methods and geotechnologies for recording reliable and accurate data on beef production. OTAG develops an operational geo-decisional system to track and trace the mobility, provenance, and state of beef cattle. The presented method enables the acquisition of animal geolocations at a large scale. It minimizes the quantity of devices equipped on animals, and consequently the global economical and energetic costs of the system.

Modélisation des contraintes d'intégrité dans les systèmes d'information environnementaux
Habilitation à Diriger les Recherches de l'Université Blaise Pascal, Ecole Doctorale Sciences pour l'Ingénieur, Clermont-Ferrand (Spécialité Informatique), 2010
abs web bib

Le présent mémoire est composé de deux parties. La première décrit l'essentiel de mon parcours professionnel, depuis la préparation de mon doctorat jusqu'à aujourd'hui. Cette partie résume mes activités scientifiques et indique les résultats marquants. Sont notamment précisés, les projets scientifiques et les collaborations initiés. La seconde partie du mémoire présente les travaux de recherche menés dans le cadre des trois thèses de doctorat encadrées jusqu'à maintenant. Ces recherches portent sur la modélisation des contraintes d'intégrité dans les Systèmes d'Information (SI) environnementaux. Le contrôle des contraintes d'intégrité permet d'assurer la qualité des données d'un SI. Il est donc essentiel de disposer de méthodes pour représenter et contrôler ces contraintes dans les SI environnementaux. Une particularité des SI pour l'environnement est que les données que ces systèmes manipulent sont, par nature, géoréférencées. Dans ce cadre, le but principal de nos travaux était de fournir des moyens expressifs pour modéliser les contraintes d'intégrité des bases de données spatiales, ainsi que de mettre en place des outils pour les contrôler. Le challenge était de trouver un compromis entre le pouvoir d'expression offert par une méthode et sa complexité d'utilisation. Notre étude nous a amené à proposer des extensions spatiales d'OCL (Object Constraint Language). Nous décrivons dans ce mémoire, les solutions proposées pour les données spatiales certaines ou incertaines. Nous nous somme concentrés sur les contraintes impliquant des relations topologiques dans leur formalisation. Nous nous sommes intéressés à la fois aux SI reposant sur des bases de données transactionnelles et aux systèmes décisionnels reposant sur des entrepôts de données. Plusieurs exemples dans le domaine de l'environnement sont présentés dans le mémoire.

Mise au point de descripteurs du risque de contamination des eaux de surface par les phytosanitaires à l'échelle du bassin versant. Prise en compte des dimensions spatiales et temporelles. Appui à l'évaluation et à la gestion du risque (MIRIPHYQUE)
2014

This project led to the development of a method in order to assess the surface water contamination potential by pesticides at the small watershed scale. This method considers both spatial and temporal dimensions. The central idea is to aggregate at the catchment scale water and pesticides fluxes simulated at the plot scale, taking into account landscape elements influence (roads, ditches, embankments, buffer zones) on the transferred flux. The goal is to elaborate statistical descriptors of contamination at the outlet. Each catchment component is treated as a typical element, according to its characteristics (soil, slope, land use, agricultural practices ... ), which limits the number of local scale simulations and will facilitate the transposition to larger watersheds (several tens of square kilometers). This approach profits on the knowledge that we have of the processes governing the fate pesticides at plot level or within the landscape features, without having the complexity of a “complete” pesticides transfer model at the catchment scale. The work was carried out on two small catchments where data are numerous but of different quality. They highlighted the need to carefully define the parameters set for the MACRO model, which was used at the plot level. When possible, data should be site specific. A tool making it possible to simulate a large number of simulations was developed. It was applied in order to study the factors which govern pesticides transfers in MACRO for each situation. A method which delineates the catchment in areal or linear homogeneous elements was developed. On top of that, it defines hydrological connections between these elements, which makes it possible to identify which plots are connected or on the contrary isolated from the hydrographic network. Thus a first diagnosis of vulnerability at the catchment scale is possible. Finally, a catchment scale aggregation method of locally simulated water and pesticides fluxes was developed. An analysis method, based on data warehouses, was developed, which makes it possible to perform a thorough analysis of the simulation results. The aggregation method still has to be validated and then applied to a large set of scenarios. Anyway, it will finally allow to qualify more soundly the risk of contamination at the catchment scale, and to identify the most contributive areas or the most problematic configurations. / Ce projet a conduit à l’élaboration d’une méthode d’évaluation du potentiel de contamination des eaux de surface par les produits phytosanitaires à l’échelle du petit bassin versant (BV), qui inclut les dimensions spatiales et temporelles. L’idée centrale est d’agréger à l’échelle du BV les flux de phytosanitaires modélisés à l’échelle de la parcelle, en intégrant l’influence des éléments du paysage (routes, fossés, talus, zones tampons) sur les flux transférés, pour aboutir à des descripteurs statistiques du risque de contamination à l’exutoire. De plus, les éléments qui composent le BV sont chacun assimilés à un élément « type » en fonction de ses caractéristiques (sol, pente, occupation du sol, pratiques culturales ….) ce qui permet de limiter le nombre de simulations à l’échelle locale et de faciliter le passage ultérieur à l’échelle d’un plus grand bassin versant (quelques dizaines de km²). Une telle approche permet de valoriser la connaissance que l’on a des processus régissant le devenir des pesticides à l’échelle de la parcelle ou au sein des éléments du paysage sans avoir la complexité d’un modèle « complet » de transfert de pesticides à l’échelle du bassin versant. Les travaux ont été menés sur deux petits BV où les données sont nombreuses mais de qualité variable. Ils ont permis de mettre en évidence la nécessité de paramétrer soigneusement le modèle MACRO, utilisé à l’échelle de la parcelle, si possible à partir de données acquises localement. Un outil permettant de simuler un grand nombre de simulations a été élaboré, et a permis d’étudier les facteurs déterminant les transferts pour chaque situation dans MACRO. Une méthode de découpage du BV en éléments homogènes, surfaciques ou linéaires, et d’identification des connexions hydrologiques entre ces éléments a été développée. Elle permet d’identifier les parcelles connectées ou au contraire isolées du réseau hydrographique, et donc un premier diagnostic de vulnérabilité à l’échelle du BV. Enfin, une méthode d’agrégation à l’échelle du BV des flux simulés à l’échelle locale a été élaborée, et une méthode d’analyse des résultats, basée sur les entrepôts de données, développée. La méthode d’agrégation reste à valider et appliquer sur un panel de scénarios, mais elle permettra à terme de mieux qualifier le risque de contamination à l’échelle du bassin versant et d’identifier les zones du bassin ou les configurations les plus problématiques.

OTAG information system
2008
abs web bib

Beef cattle is a product of great importance for the economy of countries like Brazil, nowadays the most important producer and exporter country of beef cattle in the world. However, to maintain itself on this important economic position, Brazil needs constantly to improve its production systems as well to invest in aspects related to sanitary control, according to the requirements of the consuming market like the European Community. The goal of OTAG project is to provide conditions to know the relative risks concerning to the bovine traceability, in the context of Southern Cone Countries and the EU policies. The project is based on the existing knowledge in Europe and Canada concerning to information systems and geo-decisional tools, as well to the interaction among experts and user groups from South Cone, Canada and Europe. OTAG prototype conceives the use of electronic devices for measuring the animal geo-localization in the herd. This information is associated to data about farm management, such as feeding and production systems in use. This paper presents the characteristics, tools and steps concerned to the development of the OTAG information system, aiming to obtain a prototype to analyse the beef cattle traceability under experimental conditions in Campo Grande, Brazil.
