Abstract
This paper proposes to enhance geographic information retrieval interfaces with geovisualization techniques such as multiple representations and rich interactions. It supports its proposition by examples and illustrations of GeoPubMed prototype which was designed to enhance geospatial access to medical citations in PubMed database, the premier database of health publications. Such an enhancement results in expansion of user tasks which become more analytical than simple reference question-answering tasks.
