Modelling of mines with a generic object model

This article presents a generic object model (GNOME) and its application to the modelling of mines. GNOME is an hierarchical model and is composed essentially of two parts: one is topological and the other is quantitative. The objects are represented by their attributes (geometry, density, colour, etc.) which allow one to define the object-attributes (the objects in the attribute representation space) and thus the relations between them in attribute data and between different attributes. Several results from software using the mine representation following GNOME are shown.
