        • 11. Add other requested data, e.g., from Datafed.net.

GEO-ESIP Community Activities (5 min each)

GEO AQ Community of Practice
AQ GEOSS Community Infrastructure


(scheduled break from 2:45-3:15 Eastern)

3:15-4:45 Eastern

Discussion Focus Areas (20min each)

  • Institutional and human factors challenges and opportunities in interoperability
  • Interoperability successes among projects and use/planned use of GEOSS AQ Community Infrastructure
    • Lessons learned and guidance that can be formulated for others to use in their implementations
    • Challenges and new approaches to implementing interoperability
    • Define next steps for interoperability testing among projects
    • update interoperability matrix
  • Virtual AQ Interoperability Standards Implementation Workshops: making them work for you
  • CyAir Reflections: Given discussion above: What does this mean for CyAir?

July 22, Thursday

11:00-12:00 Eastern

  • Outline next Interoperability Standards Implementation 'Virtual Workshops'
  • Define goals, scope and logistics for face-to-face/virtual AQ Interoperability Standards Implementation Workshop
    • Listing of current connected datasets (with monitoring of service performance)
    • Example of health performance on AQ uFIND - shows status of server (how many layers returned) and status of indiv. layer
  • 'Connectivity Matrix'
    • what is the state of the network connection Connectivity Matrix (maybe this should be renamed to the AQ Network Matrix?)
    • Highlight nodes that are red that are high priority and aren't connected (outcome - critical systems need to be networked)
  • Plans for GEO-VI Plenary Air Quality 'Showcase'
    • Nov 3-5 in Beijing

Ideas and Suggestions for Summer Meeting

  • Entire should be virtual - expect that more than half of participants might be remote.
  • Potential collaboration with the Tech workshops from Tuesday
  • Describe HTAP Network, ACP, other AQ projects by the way that they leverage AQ Community Infrastructure


  1. identifying and begin registering the emerging air quality data-as-services from the various projects e.g. (HTAP network; Atmp Comp Network, CyAir)
  2. using the ISO metadata for cataloging, discovery and finding the shared data resources
  3. agree on a few practical use cases for demonstrating interoperability and networking

We could also begin work on the

  • convention for metadata for understanding the observations (surface, satellite, model, emission...)
  • distributing the shared tools and methods (server, client, registration...)

A particular topic that would help GEOSS is a participatory discussion/feedback on the User Requirements Registry for air quality. A possible way to approach this is to ask the project representatives to identify their respective user requirements. I can provide more later..
