Une introduction à l'univers de Briefs

We propose in this paper a study of basic information structure, called "Brief" for annotating observations of phenomena in a spatiotemporal context through interconnection networks. One of various features of these" briefs" is that they can be used in an observation made both by human or machine through communicating objects (CO). These annotations will allow implementation of services for automatic or manual processing annotations on various phenomena. It can be used as a standard interchange format for these annotations between applications on networks. We show that we can deal metrics and techniques of computational geography and those coming from the Semantic Web to enhance the mechanisms of analysis and processing of these masses of information on the networks.
