Thanks Andreas,
But it just doesn't seem a right approach to me to convert a topological
format into a simple feature format to import it to GRASS. I am speaking
of some 300.000 polygons of buildings and X00.0000 parcels, which
created a lot of topological problems when I imported from shapefiles.
That's why I did ask the dataowner for the INTERLIS format.
Isn't there any other solution or exchange format that is topological?
Regards, Patrick
P.S. sorry for the late answer- but I was off for 2 Weeks

Hi Patrick,
I wouldn't try to open Interlis files directly in GRASS. You are better
off converting them to an intermediate format or database, e.g.
spatialite, PostgreSQL, GML, etc. and work from there.
If you open the files directly, performance will be bad.
btw: Interlis consists of two files:
1. .ili file (contains the data model: topics, tables, columns, data
types, domain lists, etc.)
2. .itf file (the raw data: geometry and attribute data). - itf means
"interlis transfer format"
You always need both files.
Here are one or two examples:http://gis.hsr.ch/wiki/HowTo_OGR2OGR
Good luck,
Andreas
