    AkuVis: Interactive Visualization of Acoustic Data
    (Umweltinformatik ’98 - Vernetzte Strukturen in Informatik, Umwelt und Wirtschaft - Computer Science for Environmental Protection ’98 - Networked Structures in Information Technology, the Environment and Business, 1998) Fehr, Rainer; Börner, Katy; Wachsmuth, Ipke
    AkuVis (Interactive Visualization of Acoustic Data) is a joint project involving the Artificial Intelligence as well as the Visualization Laboratory at the University of Bielefeld, government researchers from the Institute of Public Health NRW and the Local Environmental Agency Bielefeld as well as the German TÜV (Börner 1997). The project seeks to create a highly interactive virtual environment of modelled acoustic data in order to sensitize and improve human decision-making in real world tasks. In particular, it attempts to enhance the integrated understanding of noise data as a basis for governmental decisions about noise protection regulations for new streets, industrial areas etc.

    Datenintegration und Metainformation in einem vernetzten umweltmedizinischen Informationssystem Intégration de données et de méta-informations dans un système d'information environnemental et sanitaire en réseau
    (Umweltinformatik '97, 1997) Prätor, Klaus; Fehr, Rainer; Jukes, Graham; van der Veeen, André
    Umweltmedizinische Informationen und Werkzeuge werden in einem System vernetzter Arbeitspätze auf der Grundlage von Metainformationen integriert. Die Metainformation umfaßt strukturelle, terminologische und referentielle Aspekte, die auf der Basis eines abstrakten Datenbanklayers und eines Thesaurus vereinheitlicht werden. Ein zentrales Thema des Projekts ist die Möglichkeit der Repräsentation von Metainformation in Einklang mit WWW-Standards. Dabei wurde von relationalen und grammatikförmigen Darstellungen Gebrauch gemacht. Environmental health information and tools are comprised within a system of networked work places based on metaninformation concerning structural, terminological and referential aspects. The information is unified by means of an abstract database layer and a thesaurus. A central topic of the project is the possiblility of representing metainformation in acccordance with WWW-standards,which was accomplished by using relational forms and the grammar of text mark up languages. Les informations et les outils au service de la médecine de l'environnement sont intégrés sur base de métainformations dans un réseau de postes de travail. La métainformation comprend des aspects structurels, terminologiques et référentiels uniformisés grâce à une base de données intermédiaire et un thesaurus. Le but principal de ce projet est de rendre possible la représentation de la métainformation en harmonie avec le standard du WWW.L'accès en est donné sous forme relationelle et grâce à une grammaire d'hypertextes (HTML).

    Environmental Health Information Management: Selected Developments of Potential Relevance for the European Perspective
    (Environmental Communication in the Information Society - Proceedings of the 16th Conference, 2002) Fehr, Rainer
    The science and practice of Environmental Health aims to promote and protect health via environmental pathways. Programmatic documents, e.g. from the European Ministerial Conferences on Environment and Health 1989-99, leave no doubt about the strategic role of information management. This paper outlines Environmental Health reporting and Health Impact Assessment as two complex examples. The role of an adequate structure model (here: WHO’s DPSEEA) as an integrative tool across individual tasks is underlined. As for reporting, the temporal trends concerning groups of regions can usefully support benchmarking; efforts towards standardization are worth-while. In Health Impact Assessment, a major challenge refers to making best use of available information for predicting and assessing exposures and health effects prospectively. Other fields of information management include inquiry systems, visualization, and derivation of quantitative health targets. Generic concepts and specific solutions of Environmental Health information management in a European perspective deserve in-depth exploration.
