    Application of Sensor Web Technology for Analysing Correlations between Health and Environmental Data
    (EnviroInfo Dessau 2012, Part 1: Core Application Areas, 2012) Jirka, Simon; Brauner, Johannes; Bröring, Arne; Kunz, Siegbert; Simonis, Ingo; Watson, Kym
    This paper introduces the European FP7 project EO2HEAVEN which aims at investigating the complex relationships between environment and health. To support such research a Spatial Information Infrastructure (SII) is introduced which allows combining different environmental data sources with health data sets and analysing correlations between these data sets. The paper presents the general challenges of combining environmental and health data, the EO2HEAVEN SII and its underlying improved Sensor Web concepts.

    Monitoring the Environment with Sensor Web Services
    (Environmental Informatics and Industrial Environmental Protection: Concepts, Methods and Tools, 2009) Jirka, Simon; Remke, Albert
    The human impact on the environment is causing global change, resulting in an increase of natural hazards and depleting natural resources. Real-time information on our man-earth system is essential both in terms of improving our understanding of its condition and dynamics and of enabling more sustainable management of our activities which interact with the environment. Sensor networks are among the most important tools for gathering such (real-time) information. One point focused on by sensor networks is the development of software standards and implementations for web services that facilitate the integration of sensors and sensor data into a wide range of applications. Standardisation of these web services is required because the diversity of sensor concepts and interfaces represents a significant obstacle for the integration of sensor networks into environmental information systems. This paper presents examples how 52° North sensor web services are being used in constructing environmental monitoring systems. 52° North Initiative for Geospatial Open Source Software is an international R&D platform aiming at fostering the innovation process in the field of spatial data infrastructures.

    Sensor web and geoprocessing services for pervasive advertising
    (Informatik 2009 – Im Focus das Leben, 2009) Foerster, Theodor; Bröring, Arne; Jirka, Simon; Müller, Jörg
    Pervasive advertising attracts attention in research and industry. Sensor information in this context is considered to improve the content communication of Pervasive Environments. This paper describes an architecture for integrating sensor information into Pervasive Environments. The sensor information is accessible through an abstraction layer, the Sensor Web, which is based on Web Service technology. The Sensor Web provides access to any deployed sensor for any compliant infrastructure, such as a Pervasive Environment. It thereby does not only access sensors that are deployed specifically for this system, but any sensor in the world that is available through the Sensor Web. In order to extract specific sensor information from the available sensor data, Geoprocessing Services are deployed as an intermediate component in the proposed architecture.

    Using the OGC SOS Interface for Reporting Ambient Air Quality Data
    (EnviroInfo & ICT4S, Adjunct Proceedings, 2015) Jirka, Simon; Hollmann, Carsten; Rieke, Matthes; Blomgren, Håkan; Grothe, Michel; Berkhout, Hans; Bush, Tony; Peeters, Olav; Ross-Jones, Matthew
    This contribution describes experiences gained with the practical application of the OGC Sensor Observation Service (SOS) standard for reporting air quality information of member states to the European Environment Agency (EEA). It is not only shown how the member states are enabled to fulfil environmental reporting obligations but it is also explained how the EEA is able to benefit from the use of the SOS interface.
