Data storage is a crucial point for applications development and particularly for distributed applications. There are many issues related to data storage: the insurance of sustainability, identification and indexing of the data, the warranty of searching and accessing the data, and possibly the fetching of the data for applications use. So, there is a need to design methods for ensuring effectiveness of all of these properties and operations in heterogeneous environments, both in terms of data formats, exchange protocols, and applications.In this thesis, we propose GRAPP&S (Grid APPlication & Services), a multi-scale framework for an unified storage and indexing of both data and services. Indeed, GRAPP&S was designed to support different data formats such as files, stream or database queries, but also to support the access to distant services (web services, cloud services or HPC computing services, for example). GRAPP&S coordinates an hierarchical routing architecture that allows data indexing and access, thanks to a multi-scale network of local-area communities. Transparent access is provided by a network of specialized proxies, which handle most aspects related to data location, request handling, data preprocessing or summary and also data consistence.Finally, we exploit GRAPP&S in the particular context of E-Learning. Our solution will reduce the cost of merging distributed educational resources over several organizations and ensure the exploitation of learners..
