Résumé
A lot of experiments have shown that images, graphics and iconographic resources, thanks to their explanatory power, can be considered as a very fundamental component of a man-machine interface. The goal of our approach is to make use of this oustanding property of the images in order to provide a Digital Library with Information Discovering capabilities.
