Abstract
Modeling of environmental exposures and health impacts across large geographical areas is complex in terms of data handling and processing and often computationally demanding. Software allows widespread applications to a range of users (e.g. epidemiologists, public health practitioners) but heterogeneity in geospatial data processing and modeling techniques makes it challenging to develop a generic and collaborative system. This paper presents GENESIS (GENeric European Sustainable Information Space for environment) as a solution in developing a high level interoperable system, which assists integrating crosscutting GIS based environmental data and systems over many scientific domains. Pilot experimentation of developing service-oriented applications under GENESIS is applying a study on impacts of air pollution on people's health in Great London.
