Abstract :
The standard geographic web services WMS (web map service) and WFS (web feature service) comprise respectively two methods GetFeature and GetFeatureInfo that allow to obtain attributes associated to a geographic object represented on a map. Most certainly, the returned result brings semantics to the object but requires adaptation to the theme chosen by the user. Our paper proposes the conception and implementation of two interfaces the semi-automatic identification of additional attributes through semantic links in the schema of database, and the presentation of thematic enriched data to the final user.
