    • Cluster Database
    • Cluster contributor to Earth Information Exchange
    • Pilot Project
    • Collaboration and identify areas of overlap.
  • Earth Information Exchange on Geospatial One Stop (gen login:esipfed/pw: discover)
    • Wildfire application - provides page where domain specific applications can be highlighted.
    • Question Martha Maiden - vision of portal?
    • Stefan Falke - Work on describe and register the applications on portal and use EIE to highlight the ones that are AQ relevant. EIE another view/perspective to GOS or other catalog, simpler interface. Provide a jumping point to different applications ("mash-ups")
    • Question Brian Wilson - Technical limitations with portal?
      • A portal (GOS or other) should avoid heirarchical structure
      • A single portal cannot accomodate all data/service needs. Multiple portals can coexist. Challenge is how to connect those portals.
  • Frank Lindsay - What does it mean to create an air quality portal? Multiple portals doesn't necessarily mean redundancy but each portal comes from a different perspectives for a different set of users. Create portal for pool AQ resources. AirNOW example of collaboration of interagency work delivering near-realtime data. Suggesed Cluster for a team to interact with NTO air quality portal group lead by Martha Maiden
  • Steve Young - Are there ways to engage air quality community with things more visible to people (ala GoogleEarth)? The Air Quality Portal is viewed as a Community of Practice for US GEO. How to connect air quality and public health communities of practice? Suggested opportunity for cluster members to partner with State/Tribal organizations.


State/Tribal leads on proposals for CDX stuff. Can ESIP partner with them?
