|Description=OSMOSE stands for a conceptual generator of specific decision support systems (DSS) for spatial allocation of land use types. The DSS to be generated by OSMOSE are meant to (i) identify land units which meet multiple predefined attribute values for a specific land use type (LUT) and (ii) rank land units for a given LUT according to these multiple attributes. A complementary purpose is to identify and rank LUTs for a given land unit. The proposed framework is extremely flexible as it can accommodate continuous and ordinal, differentially weighted attributes (with unequal number of classes), alternative land unit definitions, land use types and climate change scenarios.

Based on the concepts presented in the previous section, the OSMOSE software framework was developed with a view to materialise a flexible generator of sDSS so that diverse specific decision support systems can be developed for different circumstances. This implies that users (i) can define, add and delete different regions of interest and climate scenarios, land units, land use types, ES-attributes and (ii) can edit the related data values. To achieve this flexibility, the generator was conceived in an integrated, modular fashion. Four modules are at stake: (i) a geospatial database, (ii) a geospatial visualisation and analysis module, (iii) an advanced query module and (iv) a user interface. Implicitly a 5th module is present, i.e. a knowledge and model base which is required to assess the values for the different combinations of scenario, land unit and land use type.

Description

Has description OSMOSE stands for a conceptual generator of specific decision support systems (DSS) for spatial allocation of land use types. The DSS to be generated by OSMOSE are meant to (i) identify land units which meet multiple predefined attribute values for a specific land use type (LUT) and (ii) rank land units for a given LUT according to these multiple attributes. A complementary purpose is to identify and rank LUTs for a given land unit. The proposed framework is extremely flexible as it can accommodate continuous and ordinal, differentially weighted attributes (with unequal number of classes), alternative land unit definitions, land use types and climate change scenarios.

The OSMOSE-framework is designed to address four types of specific questions concerning land use planning:

1. What is the performance of a considered land unit under the current land use type ? This ‘What?’ question inquires, for the selected land units, the value of one or more specific attributes for the current (ini
