Abstract
Nowadays, users often use topographic data to reference their own thematic data. When reference data are updated or if the user wants to replace the reference, the thematic data have to be processed in order to maintain data consistency. We call this processing thematic data migration. This paper proposes an updated version of a previously proposed thematic data migration process, which includes the case where the relations between thematic and topographic data have to be modified between the initial and the final state. A model to describe the relations and their modifications is proposed. A multi-criteria decision method is used to relocalise the thematic data on the topographic data guided by the described relations. The whole process is illustrated on a running example, on which obtained results are presented and discussed.
