Powerpoint slides by Stefan Falke

  • Introduction: Cluster has met 4 times. This meeting has an emphasis on collaborating between sessions.
    • Cluster brings together different groups of people (data providers to users)
    • Cluster Database
    • Cluster contributor to Earth Information Exchange
    • Pilot Project
    • Collaboration and identify areas of overlap.
  • Wiki: Air_Quality_Cluster
    • Cluster background
    • Cluster Summary - Bold items are in the cluster database. (If your name isn't on this list under Federation Participans and should be you can edit the wiki.) This is also a "container" and it should be added to by this group.
    • Resources - Meetings, presentations. Place for collecting resources.
    • Interactions facilitated by the ESIP AQ Cluster - Discussion of each of the listings.
      • Europeans using ESIP wiki for a temporary neutral space to work on naming conventions
      • Cluster resource available and again it's editable by the entire community.
  • Earth Information Exchange on Geospatial One Stop Demonstration (gen login:esipfed/pw: discover)
    • Wildfire application - provides page where domain specific applications can be highlighted.
    • Question Martha Maiden - vision of portal?
