Linking Sensor Web Enablement and Web Processing Technology for Health-Environment Studies

This paper introduces an approach how the Sensor Web Enablement (SWE) framework of the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) can be coupled with geo-processing services (OGC Web Processing Service WPS) in order to support health-environment studies. By presenting selected use cases of the EO2HEAVEN project it will be explained how SWE services can be used as a source of real-time observation data and how these data sets can be analysed in a process chain encapsulated by a WPS.
