Résumé
The current report describes shortly the three kinds of spatial databases developed during the PRIMA project: tabular datasets covering the regional case studies, a common GIS, a specific spatially explicit XML data warehouse. Questions of data availability and use restriction are further discussed. The scarcity of local data can be compensated by the use of proxies or parallel downscaling efforts. Licensing conditions and uncertainties over the status of outputs (scenario-based, weak spatial nature) limits the compliance needs of PRIMA data with the INSPIRE directive. Potential compatibility of PRIMA modelling outputs, in terms of thematic areas, structure and metadata, is assessed. Alternative cartographic visualizations are proposed. A further emphasis is put on the innovative aspects of the work related to spatial databases: developing a spatial OLAPframework, fitting spatial autoregressive models of landcover transitions on PRIMA regions.
