Since the GENESIS solution allow to build new thematic applications related to Environment management, various categories of entities / people can benefit from the solution:

The service providers or thematic application providers ; these are the first "target" of GENESIS which they can use to provide thematic application in whatever way (development, operations; service, expertise).The GENESIS framework will support them with:

• A set of thematic-neutral generic services for rapid development of new applications
• Legacy toolbox service for easy wrapping of legacy systems into web services
• User management
• Access to catalogues and geo-databases
• Service orchestration mechanisms
• Security services
• Publication of services

 

The thematic application users, the people who finally use the thematic applications at the end of the chain (usually they are called the end-users). The GENESIS solution will offer them:

• Access to a huge amount of shared data and services fostering the community development and synergy
• One-stop shop : use of one information system to access plenty of heterogeneous data and services
• Semantic search of services and data (including products and processing results)
• Visualization of geo-spatial information
• Invocation of processing, on selected data
• Report publishing

Moreover, the GENESIS project proposes a strategic integrated approach building on current state of the art and innovative researches of major EC or ESA projects as :

• Service Oriented Architecture derived from WIN and Orchestra FP6 projects,
• Services infrastructure derived from ESA MASS-SSE project
• Interface with EO data derived from ESA HMA harmonization project,
• Sensors networks architecture derived from SANY and OSIRIS FP6 projects,
• GMES projects like LIMES, PROMOTE, GEMS, HALO, BOSS4GMES¦
• data harmonization in relation with INSPIRE, FP6 HUMBOLDT and RISE projects.
